Diffused Illumination

If I thought MeSH was a PITA that was nothing compared to UMLS & now CPT. I can tell this has all gotten to me because I wish I could flip through this but alas, too pricy & no library nearby has it.

After much griping and angsting (and asking him what are/how to explain ISA hierarchies and APIs) over the past few days, my husband finally asked what on earth I was doing with so much coding in school. I explained how I have to do 3 reviews of healthcare-related vocabularies/coding systems for an assignment due tomorrow.

Kieran, who was calmly eating dinner, overheard me saying 'healthcare' and picked up from my tone that I was less than thrilled about it. He loudly announced "I DON'T CARE EITHER!" How right he is.

Also, today's Death Cab For Cutie lyrics interpretation from him insists that soul meets potty.

Why can I remember things like Kieran's height & weight measurements for the past 6 months and what percentiles they fall in, yet forget something like say... driving the car home from work? ( So how'd you manage that one? )

Between that and the Cake Emergency (another story for another post), I think I'm ready to call the holidays a wrap.
