Forgot that I still had to shave for AA until it was Midnight. Freaking speedy shave - I actually tried something with the Tadé that I normally only do with my synthetic brushes; means no prep soaking, just putting heaps of water on it right before loading from the tub. You know what? It worked! Shows that it's firmly in the good territory now. Here it is up close after surviving this abuse. Here's a even closer look at the bristles! Can any boar nerds confirm that it's actually pretty nice by now? I never ever would've thought it'd be usable like this before day 25, at least...
Why was today so busy again? Well, doctors appointment - had to get a medical certificate that I can work in the field of nursing for my nursing school. They also tried hard to get some blood from me and only succeeded in the third attempt. I also got one of the important tetanus vax shots I was missing, the other hepatitis A one will be done in two weeks... And that was just before another stressful shift at the dementia ward. Needless to say, I'm spent. Sorry if I don't comment or even read any of your sidetracked posts today. I need to relax.
Sidetracked
But I'll only leave after sharing at least a little track: Eagle Eyed Tiger - I live here now. This track has a special connection with me: I often listened to it during the time when the nursing home I still work at had its first bad Covid outbreak. I heard it while I was working in nursing for the first time as an OT. The uplifting melody gave me some hope in dire situations and hard, gut-wrenching times when lots of residents died. It made me push through. Damnit, now I'm all teary eyed from just sharing a story of my personal life connected to a pretty chill synthwave song. What a wuss I am.
