    Looking for suggestions about a toxic person in my life.

    It sounds horrible. I’m sorry you’re in this situation. I agree with masked man there is nothing you can do that will improve the situation for you. I second the suggestion to get and wear noise canceling headphones. Further, can you get out of the apartment for some period of time each...

    What’s Going on In Life

    Hey Dillon. That’s great news. Incidentally I worked patient transfer in the ER before becoming a nurse. It’s great experience.

    Just One Photo From Today

    This is an earth star I found today while weeding. This is a fungal fruiting body, similar to puffballs but… Earth stars split into triangular segments, like this one is starting to do. The triangles bend outward, looking like a star. This one is not my photo:
