So, I should be working right now. Nicole made me this nice little index card of all the things I need to get done today, something she does everyday, something that she has trained me to need, so much so that when I’m away from her, I make her send me a virtual index card, otherwise I’m like a lost cat searching for their yum yums. Or something like that. However, today, for some reason, I strayed. I strayed from the ...

Do you have a headache on a random Tuesday afternoon? Well, hm, according to the plot line of Grey’s, you might have a brain tumor.

Thumbnail image for Things I Don’t Understand Even When People Explain Them To Me

In terms of intelligence, I consider myself to be somewhat above average and yet… AND YET. There are some things, just, some of those things that, even when someone explains them to me, my brain tends to implode upon itself and I’m left there with drool coming out of my mouth, pointing at the shiniest thing. Or, you know, I just nod like I understand, but really? I have no for serious clue what the person is talking about and ...
