Strings
Growing up I had a problem with pica. That is when a person chews on and sometimes swallows things that aren’t food. When I was six I had a fuzzy blanket. The outside was a soft polyester and it was woven onto a cloth fishnet. I nibbled on that blanket for a good year. I…

Artificially High
Between the dopamine the sugar and the caffeine I’m in a really energetic mood today. I declined an extra pharmacy shift because real life is hard. I’ve made art and as you can see I’m blogging. I even got up the energy to cook actual food. My wife asked how I was doing and I…

I am slow at registering people for shots and our pharmacy was absolutely swamped. So I stayed on drive thru instead…

Intelligence
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. I grew up believing I was smart. Maybe I am. I also grew up believing that being smart was a lot more important than it actually is. I am rarely the most intelligent person in the room and I wish I had learned that…

Bad Teeth
What are your favorite types of foods? For most of my life I have had what people call a “sweet tooth.” And while I still enjoy sugary foods they have over the years ruined my teeth. I was told as a child that I had strong enamel and a rarely had cavities so I never…
