The downside to being asthmatic is that I'm 90% sure I have a sinus infection and the asthma attack that usually goes along with it because of post-nasal drip, but I knew, as I called my GP this morning, that I was more than likely going to be tested ( Read more... )

Cuomo gave the order for everyone in New York to stay in place today. Mom and I had run to Target & Whole Foods before the announcement to pick up a few things; I wore my mask and didn't touch anything unless necessary. Hopefully that'll be the last time I have to go out before my turn on the work rotation, unless something changes drastically ( Read more... )

Between my GP ( Read more... )

After spending quite some time reading reviews and watching YouTube videos, I finally decided I wanted either the Asus Flip C434 or (shockingly) the HP x360 14 in white and gold. I figured I'd watch for a sale and then whichever one went below 450$ first would be the one I got. Ironically enough, it turned out that Best Buy had the HP for 399 ( Read more... )

Well this week has been... interesting. It must've been a full moon because work has been pure insanity: overscheduled on procedures, understaffed because everyone is sick, clients showing up 30 minutes to an hour before their appointments, multiple clients coming in on the wrong day and then asking, "Well, we're here, any way you can see us today ( Read more... )
