Aristus's JournalNow is the very witching hour of night...
Good wishes to all who are still awake...
:hi;
The vodka is doing its work...
I can't feel anything...
Except that its Ukrainian vodka. Godspeed all those fighting for their freedom...
Stuck in a hotel room after Continuing Education. Anyone want to hang out?
I've got some dinner and a vodka and tonic. Just relaxing after a day of lectures...
All three members of the Aristus household have submitted their ballots. Straight Democratic ticket.
No armed thugs surrounding the ballot drop-box, either. This is Western Washington, not East Cornpone. Hopeful for a Blue Tsunami!
Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.
Finally cracked my bottle of Ukrainian vodka. Its smooth, slightly fruity, and wonderful. A few evaluative sips, then a couple of shots to get the party started.
Now enjoying a Sherry Sangaree. Dry sherry, Cointreau, and simple syrup over ice. Yummy.
I love you all
If your medical provider gives advice you don't want to hear, don't try to talk him/her out of it.
Please. Just don't.
I had a patient on my schedule yesterday with a stated reason for visit being that she wanted a prescription for weight-loss supplements. I had my team call her to let her know that I don't prescribe those, as most of them are amphetamine-based, and very addictive. Thought that would convince her.
Nope. She showed up to the clinic (late; we had already filled her slot with a stand-by patient, and now I was double-booked) and try to convince me to give her addictive medications. I went through all of the standard regimens, exercise, nutritional changes, lifestyle changes, etc. I even offered to do a metabolic and thyroid panel, just to rule out organic causes (which are rarer than people expect; eat less and exercise more is the way to go in the vast majority of cases). She wouldn't hear of it, and stomped out angrily. I had to really struggle the rest of the morning to make up for the lost time.
Friday evening, here I come...
Just confirmed the validity of my voter registration. Ballots mailed out tomorrow!
Any right-wing asshole tries to prevent me from voting had better be square with God first, and beg His mercy; because he will get none from me.
Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.
I announced a few days ago my purchase of a bottle of Ukrainian corn vodka, and my plans to try it out tonight.
Well, I apologize. The tasting is deferred until later this weekend. I had to finish off my bottle of Smirnoff Lemon. Thats done. Now its on to the drinking!
I love you all
