That is the word I would use for the heat we've been experiencing all week. It is draining the life out of me. I had off from work today (well deserved, after dealing with a violent and drunken patient who tried to beat the crap out of me last night at work), and had the very best intentions of getting a lot of housework done. Unfortunately, I found myself exhausted and overheated after completing just one task, and ended up retreating to the bedroom to cool off in the A/C. That made today a most unproductive day.
I was fascinated to hear that a new subatomic particle was recently discovered (they think). I got the gist of the story while listening to NPR, but found this little video very helpful in explaining what exactly the Higgs boson is and putting into context why it matters if they have really proved its existence. I thought I'd share!

I start my BSN program on Monday, and have already completed the first two week's assignments in an attempt to get ahead of the game. I'm not looking forward to this, but I know it must be done in order for me to advance my career. I've resigned myself to this reality. I'm going to do my best to improve my attitude and try to learn something useful as I progress through my classes.
The pumpkins have crawled over the garden fence and are making their way across the lawn. There is a marina di chiogga pumpking out there the size of a steering wheel. I'm a little frightened of them, honestly... if I don't post for several weeks, I may very well be being held hostage by the pumpkin patch. Send help.
