Going to see Great Gatsby the next night. I can't hang two evenings in a row 😳

Yes! @rheumcat.bsky.social had a ridiculous low number but was only able to snag 4 (max allowed). My waiting room didn't auto-refresh so I was 16k deep. But did get 2 for the last 2 in our party! #PartyOfSix

With the release of Mature/Luck or Something Like It, I think by the time summer rolls around, she'll be in more demand. I mean, this was the pre-pre-sale and it was insane. I was 16k deep.

She's got ride or die fans, going back to Lizzie.

See you there bestie! 🫶

This was mine ♥️

☹️

Happy Opalite day to all who celebrate! @rheumcat.bsky.social @klusardi.bsky.social @erinmccreary.bsky.social @ebhirsch.bsky.social

Oh goodness, I really can't remember. Except that I legit took a Spanish literary course where we read books in Spanish and wrote essays on Spanish. I was so good! Why did I drop the language? ☹️

Here's the mad libs one

It'll teach them that ABX are a limited resource and we can't use all ABX for all bacteria. Plus, they get to throw things.

Will also bring back the Mad libs style design your own ABX sheets. Those were fun #ScienceSymposium

#ScienceSymposium 2026 coming up. What activities to do this year?

Thinking I'll have the kids choose an antibiogram card. Bean bags with drug names on them. Based on their antibiogram, they can only use susceptible bean bags to try to kill bacteria (tin cans with bacteria faces)

I also had a spicy margarita and short rib empanadas and they were AMAZING!

I left my phone at home today, and it was so nice to not be bombarded with all the terrible headlines. And then I met up with a friend for dinner, and it was a nice pocket of playing pretend.

I did not have @mmpharmd.bsky.social making a 6-7 reference in a CID article on my bingo card of things that were going to make my day today but here we are

Now go back and find all the Taylor Swift lyrics 😘

Welcome to the first Monday in 2026. Today, I sent my technician a list of 10 patients who needed PAs for their HIV meds. The kicker? Most of them were for Biktarvy and Dovato. AKA 1st line regimens who have no business needing PAs. 🤬 Insurance companies

Last December I challenged myself to not buy a single item of clothing for myself in 2025

I present to you, the 4 items I did in fact purchase:

1. TS TLOAS cardi
2. TS Lover cardi
3. Plain T to make Life of an OPAT Girl shirt
4. BIL's band's shirt (Prymora)

Technically..that's merch not clothing

Met my book goal for the year ♥️ 70 books!

😮 I want to know who saved this post and for what purpose 🤣 Friendly or nefarious?

Why yes, I *DID* send you a peer review request, today, Christmas Eve Eve. But if you notice ... I added an extra week's time for the turnaround so could you pretty please accept? 🙏

...I was not prepared for this 😮
