    I just spent a few days sitting with my FIL in hospital. We binged Gunsmoke. I am a reluctant fan of Festus now.

    • do they have you scheduled for any sight-seeing like CT or MRI scans?
    • can you order UberEats to your room? I watched them come and go frequently and wondered if it was for employees, inmates, or both
    • do you ask all the nurses for crunchy ice?
    • have you asked that one nurse for a bed bath?
    • are most of the nurses pregnant like they were at my hospital? Wtf is in the water?!

      24/7 EEG

      other stuff was done last month

      idk about uber eats, I’m poor lol.

      I love crunchy ice, I’ll have to ask.

      I give myself washcloth baths in the bathroom ; it’s ok.

      Ha, they all have kids, idk if they are pregnant. A lot have those fancy flag pins now, and it’s a metro hospital so maybe pregnancy is going out of style.

      I think you know what’s in the water.

          learned there’s a big difference between night staff and day staff.

          day staff is good.

      oddly enough, ‘I, Robot’ was the first thing on the TV.

      I’m sure that’s not a coincidence.

    What’s your favorite food?

    What’s your take on how car dependance has influenced North American culture and is there a way of out?

    What’s your favorite animal?

      I actually don’t have strong attachment to food, but raw peach and/ or lemon, ice tea is amazing , especially with boba.

      American’s shaped car culture imo, not the other way around. It’s about individualism, power, and control I think. I’d love to see the states embrace trains, but it’ not going to happen. I’m not a fan of AI but the way forward is probably self-driving renewable energy cars ; after Trump.

      Favorite animal is jellyfish. Life would be much easier if I could just be one.

      not here. but there was a resident doctor whom I really hated: looked 18, acted like he was 40, mind of a 4 year old. They never should of let him graduate high school.

      surprisingly busy with nurses & keeping a log, but saw iRobot and Book of Eily back to back on AMC

      first movie was pretty good, bc I’m a big Philip K Dick fan, second movie was hilariously bad.
