Who, What, When, Where, Why?

Q&A a Day: What’s your favorite question to ask people? anything that crosses the line

I’m off to see my classmates to learn about SOAP notes

I’ve found myself asking questions that are inappropriate, make others uncomfortable, and that I probably didn’t want the answer to. I’ve asked my: family, dentist, friends, boss, teachers, and strangers. I like to claim situational awareness, but Caleb snuck up on me in the backyard on Monday because I was so deep in thought. I get lost in myself a lot, and sometimes it comes across as narcissistic, but I get the kind of curiosity that gets the cat killed and makes the dog cry.

A Green and Yellow Basket

Q&A a Day: How did you get to work today? I have Sundays off, but I will be driving my blue Mazda 3 to school and work tomorrow, while Caleb takes the gray rental Mazda CX-5 to work while our Mazda tribute remains in the shop. It turns out that after six good, and high mileage years, it’s in need of a new (used) engine that comes with a one-year warranty (cheaper than buying another car to tow our boat this spring), but also where our tax return will be going.

Anthropomorphic

Q&A a Day: If this day was an animal, which animal would it be? a sleeping dog

sleep dog

I left the house this morning with the intention to workout till Caleb returned from Alabama via plane but got sweaty at the gym and returned home for a shower and to walk the dogs. It was around 11am when I remembered that I should eat something (peanut butter-egg toast) and I was out the door after his message that he had just landed. I got to the cell lot as he grabbed his bag and picked him up outside.

We got home and Fallon invited us to Kanpai for a bowl of ramen and I suggested she bring the birthday girl; her oldest daughter turned 8 today. I had gone over this morning pre-shower to share in the singing and cupcake celebration. We ordered a bowl and shared and drank plenty of water, but that only filled me up for about two hours before I was eating again; this time leftover spinach-tofu lasagna with carrots and pine nuts.

I tried getting some work done, but Sparky wanted to cuddle so I grabbed my book instead while Caleb worked on our taxes and our car in the shop situation so we can get those figured out. Dinner would be lentil-white bean burgers with cauliflower tots and some cherry juice and figs even though I was craving chocolate chip cookies and ice cream — which is why you don’t keep temptation inside.
