Sharing Knowledge

This week I had another opportunity to speak to the EEG class at Carnegie Institute. Because what they do and what I do are very similar, they have me come in and do two presentations about sleep medicine. The first week is an intro to Polysomnography and the second week is about the various sleep … Continue reading Sharing Knowledge →

At Home Behind The Podium

Before I came down with the crud, I was happy to once again stand behind the podium at the Carnegie Institute and teach some of the students about Sleep Medicine. This is something that I did last year and I was thrilled to be asked back again. I spoke to the students of the Electroneurodiagnostic … Continue reading At Home Behind The Podium →

Still Using My Voice

Not too long ago, my boss at the sleep lab left to pursue another opportunity. Before she left, she asked me if I would be willing to speak to an EEG class at the Carnegie Institute. It was something that she was lined up to do and with the new position, she was unable to … Continue reading Still Using My Voice →

Sleepless Snuggles

Remember that children's song where they sing, "There we're 10 in the bed and the little one said, 'Roll over! Roll over!"? I wanted to sing that so bad last night. Except that there were 4 in the bed (5 if you count the cat.)! Sleepy Ella quite a while ago... Andrew is teething, so … Continue reading Sleepless Snuggles →

I’m Sorry, I Can’t Remember

Lately I can't seem to remember anything! Well, I shouldn't say "anything," because there are things that I can remember from years ago, but can't remember what I read 5 minutes ago! Ask me about a character actor in an old movie, who wrote a specific song, how long a song is (or even better, … Continue reading I’m Sorry, I Can’t Remember →

Be careful for nothing …

I needed to read this verse tonight. The Greek word translated "careful" in verse 6 is (μεριμνάω) merimnáō. It literally means "to be anxious" or "to be troubled with cares." Anxious is defined: experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. So the verse is saying "Don't be … Continue reading Be careful for nothing … →

My Mind Overflows With Random Thought

Life used to have a routine. I could plan my day. Phrases like: Business as usual, status quo, day to day affairs, normal activities, daily grind, staying the course, standard practice, and as per usual - don't mean anything anymore. Nothing is normal anymore. As a midnight shift worker, it's hard to know what day … Continue reading My Mind Overflows With Random Thought →

New Year’s Resolutions

It's that time again ... Every year around this time I have a joke that I recycle when I am on the radio. Basically, I say that I am going to make some New Years Resolutions I can actually keep. I then proceed to list how I am (1) going to gain 20-30 pounds (2) … Continue reading New Year’s Resolutions →
