My heart is with the @RiceUniversity community today. As the parent of a college student, a faculty member, and a Rice alum, I can't imagine what they are feeling today and I send all my best thoughts to anyone affected by this tragedy.
@joshmcgoo I had an endometrial biopsy with no meds and no warning. Supposed to be a routine pap and back to work, but the OB said let's just do the biopsy now to save time. No time to mentally prep. I had a panic attack in my car afterward and left work early because of the pain.
@StephenKing has used the full names of both of my children in 2 different stories. In 2002 it was a cute coincidence. In 2024 I wonder if there if there is something I should know.
How's my 1st semester back teaching full time, you ask? Well I have had several small mental breakdowns and have apologized more to students in the last few months than I have in years. On the plus side, if you need an extension for anything, you got it friend. No questions asked
@Catherineoscopy Saw TLK in a theater when it came out. Dead silence during the Mufasa scene. Then a small voice (maybe 4 years old) talk-whispers “Daddy, don’t die.”
