Me (eating the zucchini bread I made today): what did I do to deserve this delicious bread?
Me: well, I guess I did bake it.

I watched the NASA livestream of the eclipse today and it was pretty great because in every city, they had scientists live reacting. They were all so moved. These are people who study the sun, moon, or eclipses, seeing the object of their work take shape in front of them. Lovely.

Y’all, as someone with only one functioning retina, I beg you, please don’t destroy your eyes today by looking directly at the eclipse. #Eclipse

@DrSamiSchalk @Nooworks Yeah, I’ve already found several items in this print and I love the sustainable materials. Checking size charts now. Thanks so much for sharing! I didn’t know about this brand and I love so much of their stuff.

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

@DrSamiSchalk @Nooworks Oooo! Thank you!

@DrSamiSchalk Please tell me where this dress is from and if it’s a recent enough purchase to still be available? Florals of my DREAMS

@DrSamiSchalk The worst part of Inbox Zero is that to reach it, you have to create the pathways for it to fill back up (by sending emails yourself).

@DrSamiSchalk I cannot wait for it to melt. We’re in the worst time for driving because it’s all slush everywhere. I love snow, but this is a bit unbearable.

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

@therealcbrad Yeah, I went to my PCP from the beginning because my therapist was like “getting into a psychiatrist is a nightmare. Just go to your PCP.” I’ve been on the same dose since the start and haven’t needed to change it at all, either. Good luck!

@DrSamiSchalk Oh dang. Have you checked the pharmacy? Usually Walgreens and CVS have testing for at least COVID and Flu, though I bet they’re separate tests. I’ll see if the Still COVIDing group on FB has any other suggestions.

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

@DrSamiSchalk UW Heath has drive up PCR testing if you need it. They test for COVID, Flu and RSV. I did get charged for it afterwards, but it was helpful for peace of mind. I got my results in less than 24 hours. You can request an appointment for testing through MyChart.

@therealcbrad I love Allbirds. I have a few now because they keep having great sales!! They’re what I wear every day since we’re casual at work.

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

@DrSamiSchalk @Wienermobile Seriously one of the most delightful things about living in Wisconsin--the pure joy I feel whenever I see it!

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

I have spent the last week and a half in three different time zones plus the time change (Central to Eastern back to Central then to Pacific and now back to Central but in Standard time!!) and that means my internal clock is totally messed up. Pray for me!

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

I forgot just how good #OurFlagMeansDeath is. What a lovely start to this season.

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

I was so tired last night after dinner, I put a bag of tortilla chips in my fridge. How’s your week going?

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

@davidwizard They are in so many pieces. I haven’t thrown them away yet because I’m too sad. They’re just sitting in pieces on my counter.

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

In one move, I managed to drop and shatter BOTH of my favorite ceramic mugs this morning, so that’s how my day is going.

[Dr. Chrissy Widmayer, PhD @cjwidmayer]

@SDoanut I literally just shouted “HOWWWWWW!” after.

@mdbell79 This episode was my absolute favorite!
