You know what I don't understand? Those newfangled car key doodles that
are not actual keys but instead electronic fancy car remote thingies. What... why? I have a whole list of reasons I
don't like or understand them: They're expensive. You can get a key made
for a couple bucks, but those stupid electronic NON KEYS cost a couple
hundred. Oh, and water ruins them. And what if you forget them
somewhere, which is much easier to do since you don't actually have to
get them out of your pocket to unlock the car, start it, or exit it.
What if you're locked out? Exactly whom does AAA send for you, because I
feel like it wouldn't be a locksmith.

The last guy I dated told me that one of the
reasons he didn't want to date me anymore was that he wanted to be the
funny one in the relationship. I had decided to end things, but that was
his parting sentiment to me. Great.

Today I learned and performed the Dix-Hallpike test and Epley maneuver on a patient with vertigo. It's a way to diagnose vertigo and then to treat it. It's super weird because maneuvering the person around with their head and body in certain positions ACTUALLY does help vertigo. I know that it's supposedly science or physics or whatever, but it really seems like the maneuvers are sorcery. Which, given the names, I'm semi convinced they are.

This past weekend I spent a lot of time with my sister. Communicating with my sister is like... Well. It's like communicating with my sister. If you ask her a direct question she might answer, or she might answer a totally unrelated question (Me: "Hey when are you buying your ticket for the 4th?" Sis: "I don't have diabetes!"), or she might just NOT ANSWER AT ALL. And you know she heard you. And it's not out of malice, it's just... how she is.
She will often tell you only part of the story and assume that you already knew the rest. I am constantly getting texts from her that read like we were in the middle of a conversation.
Sis: IV fluids.
Me: What? Who is getting IV fluids? What's going on?
This weekend she tried to tell me a story, but I got all hung up on what she apparently thought was a minor detail.
Sis: So I was walking home and I caught a snake right over there. And it was so weird it-
Me: Wait, what? You caught a snake? How?
Sis: I was just walking and I saw a snake on the sidewalk, so I grabbed it. Anyhow, it-
Me: Why did you catch a snake?
Sis: To show it to the kids.
Me: Wait. You saw a snake and so you GRABBED IT?
Sis: Yes. Anyhow, it was so weird when we let it go in the yard it slithered all the way from the rocks to the bushes.
