Of course I remember Miami Vice! I never watched it but it was so popular everyone knew about it. I think we are about the same age.

What a cool job @Sophie7713

Oh Cheeseburgh, Miami was a brilliant and vibrant city to live + work as a young designer! A lot of up and coming talent on the scene... Loved it. My sorority sister from U of Miami dated Don Johnson briefly when he was separated on and off from Melanie Griffith. But before fame - the real heart throb was Andy Garcia, a senior when I was a freshman at FIU. On the weekends, all us girls would hit Coconut Grove to hear our favorite band - The Miami Sound Machine featuring unknown Gloria Estefan, at that time. Fun. I still crank up her greatest hits for dancing! ;]

Vegan gyros with shiitake and red onions with soy skyr dip and rucola cress. Part of ciabatta roll. Just the right thing after a semi-awful 24 h shift.

24hr shift! That's absolutely crazy

The older hospital doctors even know 36 h shifts. Granted, evenings, nights and weekends weren't as busy in their days as they are today.

Got about 3.5 h of sleep this time and that's not that bad. Anyway, the hospitals know how to stretch the law in their favor. Some more months of this before going into on-call only again in January. I'm too old for this sh*t.

I think I have frozen grapes at least 3 times a week. The seedless black grapes are my favorite. costco was out of them last week and I had withdrawals. They did have cherries though!

How fun and it sounds glamorous! It made me laugh when I think of my celebrity encounter about the same timeframe since it was the polar opposite!

I went to UW (Madison), I was at a house party and an older guy sat down next to me and we started chatting. He seemed annoyed with me because I wasn’t interested in talking to him. Finally he said, don’t you know who I am? I replied no. He introduced himself as Tom Wopat, I still had no clue. Then he said he was on The tv show Dukes of Hazzard. I just laughed and said sorry I don’t watch that show and left (I’m sure I was tipsy). That was true, but if the blond guy had been at that party I would have recognized him, he was the cute one.

I didn’t watch either show but Miami Vice vs. Dukes of Hazzard is an easy call!

Ok, going off on a tangent from food here, but I have to share my one and only celebrity encounter myself. 10 years ago, we got to meet Alicia Keyes backstage when she was in town for a concert. The Kid was sooooo upset she didnt get to go to the concert (she was 5!) because her fave song at the time was "No One", so she basically had a meltdown when she found out we met her AND had a picture with her....so I photo-shopped her into it, lol. Over the years, I think she convinced herself she was actually there now. 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
