Lord, I need you. I don't want to go to in office...will you come with me? I can't do this without you.

Psychiatric Hospitals

So something that I have found intriguing recently are the misperceptions people have of psychiatric hospitals. I thought I would take a few minutes today to clear a few things up.

(I would like to clarify that a majority of the people...all three of you...actually understand what psychiatric units look like...so skip this post).

Psychiatric hospitals are NOT (in my experience) what you see in the media...at all. They are a bit more like this...typically, pretty similar to regular hospitals:

Also, some important things to note, the term "mental institutions" isn't used anymore. More proper terms are psychiatric hospital/unit, mental health, behavioral health.

Alright, that's enough about work related topics...otherwise, good day.

eat.shop.kansas city

So I feel a bit like a fraud having just bought my copy of eat.shop.kansas city at Barnes and Noble. So you won't make the same mistake, here's where you can buy it directly from the publisher - http://eatshopguides.com/buy.php you have your choice of buying a print copy or an electronic copy...what a crazy wired world we live in now.



Anyway, this book is wonderful! I bought mine about an hour ago and I've been glued to it. It does a wonderful job of highlighting the best of our local flare. It goes beyond our very typical tourist spots like Gates, Union Station...etc. It has 85 local places...including bookstores, clothing stores, toy stores...and of course food...from bbq to bistros to sweets to down home greasy cooking.


My personal favorite currently is Fresher Than Fresh Snowcones:


Pictures speak a 1,000 words and this pretty much sums it up. I had my first snowcone from them today...simply incredible. I may begin reserving a place in my budget for snowcones.

I 'm done. People have lost their mind. I hate bureaucracy.

Trying to ignore it...all of it.

Tide to go pen saved the day! not smart to take leftover pasta (w/tomato sauce) for lunch when wearing a light colored shirt...

Is it a full moon? Seriously. I always seem to be busier during them. Weird weird day...really the whole week has been strange...even for my standards.

I hate parking dowtown. Convience is clearly not a priority. And all for a freaking burrito...

Good weekend...visited my grandparents, shot off nonnoise making fireworks, picked veggies from my parents garden, caughtup on sleep, & hungout at a royals game
