This month has been a trying month of worries and sleepless nights. Since the hurricane season began its been choatic for me. I live in the UK but was born in Antigua and have family in the caribbean that has been affected from these storms. I have family in Barbuda, St Croix & St Thomas and when Irma was passing I was stressed TF out, now Maria is now causing this stress. I also have friends who have family members on different islands as well.
I just want all this to be over and that my family and my friend’s family are safe.
Back to work tomorrow. Going to be in the clinic which should be pretty chill, but ICU again in September, and then if I make it two more weeks of vacation in October. I literally waited until the very last minute (and very end of my sanity) to use the vacation days- I promise you I don’t usually get this much relaxation.
So for now goodbye happy place.

More like POUTING Thomas, amirite?
JOKE-OGRAPHY:
I’m told that the name Thomas comes from the ancient Aramaic word for “twin”, while Didymus (Thomas’s alternate name as mentioned by John in the Gospel) comes from the Greek word for “twin”, so essentially Thomas had two names: one Hebrew, and one Greek, which I hear probably wasn’t uncommon for Jews living in Jesus’s time since Greek was such a huge deal. In this cartoon, John comes up with a completely different reason for Thomas’s alternate name, saying it’s because he missed the first appearance of the risen Jesus. John says, “Boy, did he miss a lot!” and emphasizes the “did he miss” part, which sounds like how one might pronounce “Didymus”. John is saying this random segment of a sentence that someone might exclaim when they found out how much Thomas missed out is the reason for his Greek name. This has been “Fun Facts with the Bible and Tom but Not The tom from The bible But instead the Tom from the Tomics which have Fun With the Bible!”

I’d hate to lose Satan in my life, but all you can eat fried chicken?
It’s our summer vacation, at last! We had a ton of fun seeing the sights, and I even got a cute bag to carry Syls around easier!
