Friday Night Wine-Buzz.

Earlier than usual. Mrs. Aristus is binge-watching Modern Family, so I beat a hasty retreat.

Cheers!

I’m enjoying the Jameson’s my BIL left with us after his visit last weekend! 👍

Where do you get to march tomorrow?

LPN or RN?

I'm a Physician Assistant. I work in Healthcare for the Homeless.

In what field do you work? Emergency? Hospital? Specialty Care?

...wow...

I can't even imagine the level of compassion, strength, and emotional fortitude it must take to work in a field like that. I thought mine was an emotionally trying field...

You and your colleagues have my respect.

and working with an amazing doctor who is so talented at controlling symptoms. We can't get it perfect 100% of the time that's for sure. But, over the years I do see a difference and I'm proud to be a part of it.

Also, it's hard to describe how great it is to be a witness to the things I see.
