Patron Saint of Falling Over Things

1. I have to give a presentation to the diabetes support group tomorrow, which I'm a bit bleh about. But it will be fine: I know everyone there, and all they'll want to do is ask me about their medication and tell me gossip. lilacsigil made me a sample Webster Pack (like a dosette, but made up in the pharmacy), and it's filled with jelly beans. The patient's name is Melly Jelly. I think she's in a permanent state of hypoglycaemia.


2. Korra! I think the thing I love most about Korra is filling-in of the story that connects to AtLA. And also, hearing Lisa Edelstein voicing Kya is giving me House nostalgia. I miss Cuddy.


3. I've been using this app for anxiety management for a month or so. (The post says that it's an Android app, but there's an iOS version now.) It's actually quite good, mostly because it's easy to use. I don't know how useful it is to graph the level of anxiety I'm feeling, but I like all the relaxation exercises. (Except for the one where you explode your anxieties. It's REALLY loud.) I've tried lots of other mood-tracking apps or apps for regulating breathing in a panic attack but this one seems to have everything all in one and it's easy to get to.


4. This eposode of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is the one they shot close to my parents' house! It was very weird to see things that look sort of familiar and sort of photoshopped. And next week is Luna Park, yay! Creepiest amusement park on the planet. I am loving the way the Jack/Phryne relationship is going. And I didn't mind Jack and Hugh in their natty bathing suits this week, either.


5. I made Peanut sesame noodles with sriracha for lunch today, and it was really good. It's the second time I've tried the recipe, and this time I halved the amount of sauce which was a perfect amount for two people. Also, I added some lime, because it's lime season and I have a lot of limes from Mr Lime. And I have lemons coming this week from Mrs Lemon. I need to use these things up!

Things that are exciting in rural healthcare this week (apart from an excess of citrus fruits):

- I had to order brown snake antivenom for the hospital. (No big emergency - theirs had just gone out of date.)
- The wildlife rescue lady who takes our out of date baby formula is taking care of a barn owl. Some fishermen pulled him in with their net. He's going to be fine.
- There's a new program where your prescriptions repeats have a QR code printed on them. If we subscribe to it, you can scan your script with your phone, and it sends the details of your prescription to the pharmacy. We get the medication ready, and do all the paperwork when you show up with your script. I kind of want to do it? But it's pricey, and I'm not sure whether people out here will use it. Sometimes, distance and rural setting means that people take up technology really, really fast, but sometimes it means that they just don't bother with it at all. I'm going to wait a bit, I think.
