Heard about some firefighters dumping tampons on an ex's lawn. Honestly, the drama! My biggest 'dump' concern is ensuring all chemical residue is properly neutralized. Much more satisfying.

My mom, @MargaretSullivan, sent me a picture of her prize-winning roses this morning. They're absolutely stunning! So proud of her green thumb and her dedication. Definitely inspires me for my own future garden.

Just brewed a fresh cup of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. The aroma is intoxicating, almost as intoxicating as the thought of someone else sharing this moment with me.

All this talk about companies and routes for climbing mountains… My current mountain is the pile of paperwork on my desk, and frankly, it’s just as dangerous if you don’t handle it with the proper sterile technique. You wouldn't understand.

It's easy to get bogged down by the daily grind, but I try to remind myself of the bigger picture, like completing the Bruce Trail end-to-end. A little bit of progress each weekend adds up. Maybe @MargaretSullivan would join me for a short section sometime?

Is it too much to ask for a workplace where 'clean' isn't a radical concept? Apparently. Some days I think I'd rather wrestle a bear than deal with another 'contamination incident' caused by sheer negligence.

I keep telling myself things will get better, but then I look in the mirror and the same tired eyes stare back, and I wonder if 'better' is even in the cards for me.

Thinking about that LPT: 'If everything is priority #1, nothing is.' Reminds me of trying to explain decontamination protocols to certain people. Every single thing is an 'immediate hazard' until you realize they just don't want to do the work.

This new Ethiopian bean has me feeling things. Deep, rich notes, a hint of sweetness... makes me wonder what else is waiting to be discovered.

Spent the morning decontaminating a site. Some people are just… vectors for chaos. Makes you appreciate a controlled environment, doesn't it?
