#legit laughed pretty hard when I briefly had service and saw the top messages roll in

Lassen National Park - feat. Trail to Bumpass Hell and Summit Lake.

#i don't think i'm ever going to use the velvia again because it's too saturated but it's fun to play around #left the house and went camping this weekend #had to pivot on two meals because our friend forgot a bag of food #they did have a picture of someone's foot on all the signs warning us not to go in #the skin was sloughing off #wife: probably killed off all the nerve endings in that foot. I bet they don't feel anything. but I don't specialize in burns so idk #us: but the intrusive thoughts are saying the blue water is so enticing #I did remember that guy who died in Yellowstone in one of the hydrothermal pools and then his body melted #lassen volcanic national park

“You didn't come here just to cry, you came to shake some ass.” — Rosalía

And feat. special guest Chappell Roan talking about someone who led her on

Chappell: "they can turn on their emotions on and off like a faucet."

Rosalía: "What is a faucet?"

cue Chappell floundering through an explanation about sinks and the pit yelling in Spanish

#my friend: she’s like that one person who came out of art school with a clear vision and real skill #rosalia

Came out of exam feeling not great but not terrible which is to say - I think I got at least half right? I'll find out in a month 😭

#off to Rosalia #you can sorta tell who on the train is going and who's just doing their thing #fuck I'm tired #turned on the us Belgium game bc a friend insisted I should watch them get humiliated #eng vs mexico was infinitely more lively

I'm poking around campsite reservations and clearly the NPS has had people claim they didn't realize this campground was horses-only.

#that first picture of just a horse #incredible

Chili dogs are so unaesthetic but they are so good. What I cooked in 24 hours:

Japanese style potato salad (thanks J. Kenji Lopez-Alt

Giant pot of chili

Grilled hot dogs

Lao gan ma focaccia

Made a sourdough loaf

Apricot jam

Strawberry syrup

#i never want to cook so much in such short time again #my dinner guests were happy though so it all works out?#the cat hid for a while but eventually ate his cake of tuna/turkey/bonito flakes

HAPPY THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY TO THIS BITCH, WHOM I LOVE SO MUCH

I don't know his actual birthday or gotcha day (I said yes to temporary catsitting and then that became 12+ years) and back calculating had him more or less born in summer so I set it to today so I wouldn't forget

Sorry buddy about all the fireworks outside, you'll be okay I promise

#today is possibly his least favorite day bc of the fireworks #definitely less the past couple of years #however 2020 was the worst #started in June and didn't let up until mid July at least

We have an apricot tree?? which has started fruiting and I picked about 3+ pounds/1.5 kg last night and cooked about 1 kg into a jammy mess with lemon juice and sugar this morning. I know it's not a shelf stable jam so it's chilling in the fridge but I slathered some sourdough with brie and fresh fruit slop and Bonne Maman got nothing on the fresh stuff, my god

#there is also Japanese potato salad #chili simmering on the stove #a focaccia that I'm proofing and will slather with lao gan ma #thank fuck for temperate weather I guess #(sorry to everyone else)

Stuck in a historical war

You are stuck as a soldier in this historical war

me, after a practice exam labeled "tricky" by the instructor: 74.5%, not bad

also me: how the FUCK did I get this problem wrong when my equation and inputs are all correct?

finally me: did I fuck up inputting the numbers into the calculator?

#help me i'm losing my mind #the only explanation i have for at least one problem is I straight up input it wrong #maybe i left out a number or something #who knows

#i took my first timed practice exam yesterday and lost my goddamn mind #i did learn after that it was deliberately lengthier than usual (in terms of calcs needed) so there’s that #and the instructor did say don’t go in thinking you need to do all 55 #just focus on the ones you can absolutely knock out first #and i feel a little better #also 69% on the practice is not bad (nice) but i’d like to be higher #i swear i’ll be normaler in a week

Had a cute little hangout with friends (who are doctors) and the other non-doctor (a husband) with a cute charcuterie spread featuring Maison Bordier butter and pate imported from Paris (aka carried back via our friend's suitcase) when the conversation invariably turned to Shit We Saw in the Hospital Recently —

and preceding all of this, the wife and I went to a soft opening of an obscenely priced Asian-fusion restaurant/market, where they proceeded to forget our rice AND mixed up our Non-Alcoholic and Alcoholic cocktails so I proceeded to drink half of a gin-laced cocktail while the wife kept saying there’s no alcohol in this?? and absolutely got blitzed (i.e. covered in hives and flushed purple and looking like I was about to cause a major chickenpox outbreak) and I had mostly recovered by the time we got to our friend’s house, thanks to a lot of Pepcid and allergy meds and water. but I still spent at least 20 min lying on their floor while we watched the England match and listened to them chatter about how old ‘arry Kane looks (the man is 32 and yet he looks like he’s 45) —

our friend launched into a story about a patient telling her that he went to bed with ten (10) toes and woke up with eight (8) toes, featuring a diabetic/possibly gangrenous foot, a Chihuahua, and a hospital full of specialists faced with a situation with absolutely no precedent freaking out

god. at least the butter was amazing. wild garlic and kampot pepper is now on my list of Bordier flavors to go wild about (first will always be seaweed, that shit rocks)

#i love getting texts from the ob/gyn friend #i love these medical hangouts #grey’s anatomy was really on something #(we can’t watch the pitt because why watch work when you’re at home and want something light)#and that’s when you turn on real housewives of salt lake city
