What Are You Thinking Of Right Now?

My precancerous lesion on my arm went away. Then came back and looks like every photo of a cancerous lesion. Also, my leg still looks like a watermelon and the doctor said it could take months. This year has not been good. Trying to keep a positive attitude. On the bright side, I am doing a rotation as a supervisor for a few months. It will be nice to try something other than pumping out work products and if I'm lucky, I can help someone improve their career.
 
Sounds like you’ve got a good job.

In my career as an engineer in the medical device field, besides inventing many devices that improve the lives of many people, I also taught and mentored the people I worked with. In all, a very satisfying career.

Boo on the health situation, yay for the career stuff!
 
found out my fright-induced shriek/scream reflex is in perfect working order. had another 4 tons of rock delivered, four dudes were working out front, moving it into place. they had a couple of questions and called me out there to discuss. on the way back to the house, i picked up a couple of pine cones that were laying in the road (OCD). when i went to put them out of the way near a big boulder, sitting on it, the biggest alligator lizard i’ve ever seen reared up on its hind legs, opened its mouth wide and hissed at me. i screamed. loud. all four dudes came running. afterwards i told the boss of them how awesome it was of them to come rushing to help me. he smiled, ‘yeah, maybe. but they probably just wanted to see what it was that you’d found.’

i’m thinking, nope, i like my version. rushing to the rescue. :x
 
I once convinced one of my sisters to try catching an alligator lizard in our back yard. She wasn’t quick enough and it bit her.
 
for the most part, they’re actually pretty slow moving. but if you pick them up, you definitely need to make sure you do it in a way that they can’t reach any part of your hand with their mouth. their bite is painful. and they latch on once they’ve got a hold of you.

i’m thinking i can’t quite bring myself to tell a friend to fuck off. the only folks who need to know my travel schedule are me, my housemate, and my employer. don’t be pissed when you ask when i’ll be in town and i reply i am already here but leaving in a few days.

my trips to the city are great but absolutely exhausting in my current condition. they are filled with long days at work, physical therapy and medical appointments.
 
not sure I’ve ever told a friend to fuck off. but i have told them to go fuck themselves. i figure no harm, no foul - they were gonna do that anyway. as soon as they got some time alone. it’s practically a PSA (you need it, go do it).
 
I am thinking Marc Marquez is fully back on his game.
Quite the journey that does demand respect from this dude.

I'm thinking I adore my friendships and acquaintances but my main happiness button is being alone.

I agree. To a point. But being alone can also mean being lonely and separated from society.

However, we are all born into this life alone. And we will all die alone. So the time we spend alone, between those two points, should always be valued and cherished.
 
Yeah, you are born alone and then you aren't alone at all.

Solitude and loneliness is good in moderation, otherwise it can be a killer.
