brain fog


i was in LLBean this afternoon and the salesperson asked me for my zip code.

i could see the numbers in my head, only they were really fuzzy.

finally, i retrieved the numbers from the haze by stating the town, then the state, then the zip code.

it's amazing what tricks a tired brain will play.

but i have to say, it was an incredible night. i love picu call. i intubated an 8yo kid with pneumonia who was breathing 70 times a minute, started a central line, and then proceeded to play with a dopamine drip all night long.

was that me?

I always say
"90210" when asked my zip! Never had a sales person catch the 'joke'-- guess it just ain't funny!! When they ask for my phone number (TJMaxx does this) I just say I don't give it out. Geez, they have my damn credit card number, can't they do their own research??
