so my talk of the table is that i started a women's mid-career mentoring program (i gotta brag that i was told my application was "one of the most highly-rated"). my mentor is younger, which i don't care about because she has more experience in the policy field. but i feel like i am in such a dirty space mentally that i might just treat her like a therapist...i can be super open and vulnerable in 1-on-1 conversations with anyone. i have to be careful about not letting those floodgates open.
i love that we have so much in common, though. she is also a Mexican woman who strongly identifies as that but doesn't speak Spanish and feels shame for it because of external influences. we have similar upbringings and we're both really personable and open with one another. if anything, i hope i gain a friend out of it. |

maybe you should invite her onto the board

if anyone wants to connect via Mastodon DM me. It's the thing to do these days.
|
Is that the Musk-free Twitter? I never had Twitter anyway...or Instagram. I'm stuck on Facebook and missing MySpace.
|
I just googled when did PM become DM. I'll take 4 bingo cards, please.

I'm on Mastodon.social If you set up a profile. Do it on a laptop/desktop and don't download the "Mastodon" app on Google play or Apple store. Those apps are garbage. |
My GF is working today on the Chicken cam. We already have a cam. And she's going to use a Raspberry Pi to complete the system. Hoping to have it up and running in a week

My theme for this Thanksgiving is "summer barbecue" and I'm making baby back ribs (in homemade Jack Daniels sauce!), mac n cheese, cole slaw, cranberry sauce, and apple pie (which is the only store bought component because I hate making pie crust). I don't really like turkey or the traditional Thanksgiving sides so I'm going completely opposite. Plus I got a new pressure cooker and want to see if the ribs will really be fall-off-the-bone tender in 30 minutes. You're all invited.

I'll be posting about it on Facebook later.
Bye, thanks for stopping by! |
but i am not on the face book :/

My crown broke so I have to get it fixed and stay ANOTHER MONTH IN MEXICO
AW 😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😂 |
The pressure cooker works great, though it took an hour instead of 30 minutes. The Jack Daniels sauce came out perfect, too. Full success with the food.
Ever single member of my family, except for ilikeplanets, had a mental breakdown at some point yesterday. I saved a little of that Jack Daniels for a well deserved cocktail after they all went to sleep. Thanksgiving really brings it out of people! I did not post those parts on Facebook, though perhaps I should have. |
|
what a funny looking combination! i think mainly the mac n cheese looks out of place to me.
and i'm kind of satisfied to learn it took one hour instead of thirty minutes. sounded too good to be true. |
It's pretty standard fare, I thought. Just not on Thanksgiving.

So apparently the racing heartbeat I’ve been getting on and off for more than 10 years is called SVT. I thought I was just having panic attacks, so I’ve been trying to fix it with box breathing and mindfulness.
I went to the emergency department the first time I had it, but it passed before I was seen by a doctor, so they told me there was nothing wrong with me and implied it was all in my head. So I figured it was, until Thursday. It kept going for 8 hours, so I went to my family doctor, and thought he would tell me to get over myself and stop worrying. But instead he had the nurse hook me up to their ECG, tried the valsalva manoeuvre, gave me a child aspirin, called an ambulance and put a line in my arm. At the hospital they gave me a drug that stopped my heart, to re-set it. It was a pretty disgusting feeling, having my heart stop beating. Then it just started up again, in a normal rhythm. If I keep having these longer episodes I might need minor heart surgery to prevent it. So yeah. Apparently I don’t get panic attacks, I just have a small electrical problem with my heart. Who knew? |
Well shit. How long do the positive effects of the drug last?
|
Only a few seconds. The drug actually stops your heart, but it has such a short half life that the effect is only momentary. Then your heart starts up again on its own after the drug wears off.
Or, it doesn’t start up again and then the doctors freak out and do CPR. But that hardly ever happens, apparently. They didn’t tell me about that before giving me the drug. |
Well, it didn't happen so I guess that's fine, totally fine
|
Seriously though, that sounds terrifying, obviously.
Bright side is you may not have panic attacks, though this may start them, eh? I'm bad at cheering people up when it comes to health issues, there's not much anyone can say or do. I'm glad you're okay and hope no further action is needed. |
I'm in Berlin. Fuck you.
|
I mean AMA.
|
Fuck me.

glad you're ok. I just had a quasi panic attack trying to imagine right around the seams where the heart stops. or starts. both sound equally terrible. shudders sorry you had to go through that. on the upside though, now you can finally start your new care free life as the child-eating undead? |
At least now we have official confirmation that vixnix does indeed have a heart.
