Playing Hooky...Kinda

EKM

What is it about not being at work in the middle of the day that makes it feel like you're breaking the rules? I'm downtown for lunch, and technically, I've been let out of work for the day, but I have coworkers who are still there trucking away. Honestly, there wasn't enough work to justify all of us staying, but it still

What the Hellfire?? (Literally)

EKM

Hear me out, it was never this hot when I was a kid. Back in the 90s my cousins and I would be outside every day during the summer, excepting the two hours we took for a lunch break and to watch Toonami (so many fond memories of Sailor Moon, DragonBallZ, Tenchi Universe and Gundam Wing). After using the blessed AC for those two hours, we had no problem going

Unrequited Love

EKM

Arguably, the type of love that hurts the most is the love that is not returned.  I’ve always thought the preteen and early teen years were the most frequent times for this depressing type of love to occur.  Those times when we go to the movies, and there on the screen, in all their majesty, is the love of our lives that we know we would be the perfect

The Love that Never Dies

EKM

February is literally a day away, so I thought that it would be fun to post a little about love in the coming days.  I don't necessarily mean that blanket definition of love between sweethearts, but the different forms of love attached to that multi-faceted, yet oh so tiny word.  Other cultures around the world have different words for different types of love, but in English, love just

A Sense of Sonder

EKM

Sonder - a realization that every single person around you has a life as complex and varied as your own.  That's my own definition of one of my favorite words.  I don't even know if it is considered an "official" or sanctioned word, considering that it cannot be found in the acclaimed dictionary by Merriam-Webster, or even on Dictionary.com.  Yet, the word is

Full Moon Medical Mayhem

EKM

Whoever said that a full moon doesn’t affect the intensity of your workday if you are employed in the medical field has obviously never worked in the medical field.  At my current job at a major trauma hospital, this event came and bit me in the ass, and I didn’t even realize I was being played until 11 that night when I was in my third emergent OR

The Devil's in the Eggs

EKM

Yesterday, while the husband and I were trying to be adults and cook up some appetizers to take to a BBQ at our good friends’ house, I had a mishap that did nothing short of baffle me.  We’ve been attempting to find recipes to create some of our more used and liked types of foods, and I have found that I have a knack for making sauces.  We don’

An Unbroken Lava Lamp

EKM

Do you ever feel like a lava lamp?  Like you should be constantly morphing and evolving?  You have all the setup that you need, but somehow you're not quite hot enough to make it flow.  Your environment is stable, you're plugged in and have a favorable power source, you even have a beacon to illuminate your maneuvers, but when it comes down to it, do you
