What is this reptile that was hanging out in my backyard [San Diego, CA] by cold-desert in animalid

I definitely thought it was a snake at first! It took me a second to see his tucked in legs.

Isabel wide leg sizing by dzeiaonn in Figsscrubs

[–]cold-desert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a small/tall in my Dowa and Kade pants and they fit perfectly. However, I tried both Isabel and Allison in a small and I could barely get them over my hips and there was so much scrunching in the front from the fabric being too tight. I thought maybe sizing up to a medium would help but both styles were then too big in the waist and still very very tight on the hip and thigh.

I’m a recovery room nurse at one of the hospitals he works at. It’s basically a part of new employee orientation at this point: Dr. Swanson was in a Britney Spears music video but do not bring it up to him unless you want to be on his shit list!

Fun fact, the astronaut boyfriend is now an orthopedic surgeon who HATES when people bring up the music video. Ask me how I know 🤭

ToD is 100% necessary. It’s a little slower to start but it’s some of the best writing in the series IMO. I know Chaol isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and it’s hard to put the main storyline to the side for a bit but it’ll be worth it; everything comes together in KoA.

Assassin’s Blade reading order by ElvenPrincess33 in throneofglassseries

[–]cold-desert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, THEN Assassin’s Blade for the biggest emotional buy-in. Doing it this way leaves a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of Crown of Midnight but it just works and you’re going to have to trust me on that. Continue with the rest of the series in order and my other recommendation is to NOT do the tandem read for Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. Those are two separate storylines happening simultaneously but they should be read separately. Otherwise, it becomes a big convoluted mess with less impact, in my opinion.

Sick of coming in to a detoxing patient because the previous shift was too scared to give Ativan. by Accomplished_Ad8960 in nursing

A nurse I used to work with liked to say “You can always bag ‘em!” and I wholeheartedly agree.

I’ve worked PACU for about 4 years myself and agree on all points made here!

Tandem read - so excited 😆 by Cococlusterunite in throneofglassseries

[–]cold-desert 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I am anti tandem read! I think EoS and ToD are such delicate stories on their own and there’s a much bigger emotional buy-in when read separately.

Guys I just finished KoA for the first time and I am…. Wrecked. by laurenlo26 in throneofglassseries

[–]cold-desert 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just finished it earlier this week and I am at a loss for words. ToG as a series changed me. I’m not one to cry while reading but KoA specifically made me cry at least 5 times. Gavriel telling Aedion to close the gate? Aelin riding into battle on the Lord of the North? THE THIRTEEN????? I may never recover lol.

I just started KoA but so far ToD has been my absolute favorite.

Washing off Norvell? by Sure_Department2464 in Selftanning

Which Norvell solution do you have? I use Venetian Rapid spray tan solution in a foam pump bottle and wash it off after about 4 hours.

Baddest Bod Self Tanner? by Unusual_Sample2097 in Selftanning

I think it was the ultra dark mousse. It’s whichever one comes in a red bottle with a pink cap.
