Friday, March 29, 2013 ( 10:19 PM ) shut up christine healthcare PSA: medication costs consumer reports issued an analysis comparing out-of-pocket costs for various medications at popular pharmacies Looking at medications that treated diabetes, depression, high cholesterol, blood clots and asthma, analysts totaled how much a month's supply of each of those five drugs would cost at one pharmacy and then used that as an indicator of how expensive that pharmacy was. source most expensive - CVS $916 least expensive - Costco $167 holy moly that's a difference of $749 for the exact. same. medications! takeaways: - cut costs by buying the generic version, not the brand name drug - costco for the win! you can purchase medications from a costco pharmacy even if you don't have a costco membership but pass on the chicken bake and churros girlfriend - that's how you got high cholesterol in the first place!  # ( 10:15 PM ) shut up christine love. macklemore & ryan lewis feat. mary lambert - same love # Tuesday, March 26, 2013 ( 8:45 PM ) shut up christine  red and pink i proudly support marriage equality i believe all Americans deserve to be treated fairly and equally under the law - no matter who they love it is very possible that my gay cousin was the victim of a violent hate crime (trial pending) i stand up for marriage equality and LGBT rights, in his honor and memory # Monday, March 25, 2013 ( 9:32 PM ) shut up christine preach!  Sunday, March 24, 2013 ( 2:13 PM ) shut up christine truth i get kind of annoyed when our mutual friends/acquaintances ask me about him now, as if i know. how's __? innocuous question that people once regularly asked me, and i used to be able to answer it's not their fault oh i haven't talked to him in a long time (i don't mention it's been 4 years since i last sat down with him) why am i annoyed? the truth is, i'm reminded that there was a time when i cared deeply for him, and he did the same. this is not the case anymore, but it's okay. i don't want it to go back to how it was, beacause it won't. truthfully, i wouldn't be upset if i never saw his face again this is not a bad thing, just the truth # Friday, March 22, 2013 ( 7:04 PM ) shut up christine

( 3:04 PM ) shut up christine growth of the body, mind, and soul  .jpg) our go-to juice recipe as of late is 6-10 bunches of greens (usually kale), 2 bags of carrots, and apples. i've been taking a ball of leftover veggie pulp, mixing it with tap water, and watering my plants with it holy cow magic juice! i poured a bit on a brown dying houseplant and the next day the innermost leaves of my plant turned green! i put some on the grass outside and hundreds of tiny yellow flowers popped up (probably weeds, but still) i see the effects on my grass and i can only imagine the benefits to my body also, i haven't talked about this at all on this blog. i still don't have a job. i didn't start actively looking for an RN job until january of this year (that's another story) but to make a long story even longer, i've applied to many hospitals in the last couple months. still waiting, wish me luck. in the meantime, i've been taking classes 4-5 days a week. dysrhythmia, 12 lead EKG, vents/trachs, sedation, rapid response, critical care, chemo, chest tubes, stroke, wound care.... i have taken or am signed up to take basically every course i can get my hands on. it's good. it's a lot of review, practice, developing and honing last but not least, 3 groups of friends have invited me to join them in meditation. in one group we meditate by ourselves and support each other via an internet forum, in another we meet up at a location and meditate in person, and in the third, we participate in a guided meditation via skype. i'm lucky to have such a supportive community. if you're just beginning to meditate, or if you're looking for someone to meditate with, let me know! (about meditation) # Saturday, March 09, 2013 ( 11:48 PM ) shut up christine today was noah's baptism and we had a big party with lots of little ones i blew bubbles (for four hours!!) and hula hooped and rolled in the grass and chased kiddies and got chased and broke the heel on my shoe i haven't had this much fun in a long time i am happy :) that is all # |
