		<description><![CDATA[Because I am getting SO OLD, it&#8217;s been about 10 years since I was last in a Spanish language class. I took a year of Japanese, a year of German, and a medical Spanish class, but since then my language skills have been mostly atrophying.
Then my husband wanted to go to Ecuador. So here I [...]]]></description>

		<title>restaurant names</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Someone should start a depressingly bad American-style Chinese restaurant chain, and name it &#8220;Sad Panda.&#8221;
I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217;.

		<title>Parenting WIN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a delightful encounter while I was stuck in the pharmacy by myself the other day.
Young gentleman and his mother came up to my counter with a new prescription. Mother realized she didn&#8217;t have the insurance card and ducked off to call the dad to ask him to fax it in. Young gentleman and [...]]]></description>

		<title>I have to p</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m forming a theory on culinary similarities between Southern China and the Southern US. I&#8217;ve covered the Chinese obsession with some of the pork products before, but tonight I made a very traditional Cantonese sweet-potato dessert soup. It contained sweet potatoes, jujube fruits, ginger and brown sugar.
It tasted like sweet potato pie.
Also, Cantonese-style mooncakes taste [...]]]></description>

		<title>paranoid antimicrobial wasters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I worked slightly over half of today&#8217;s pharmacist-hours. Of the pitifully small number of scripts processed in that time, I dispensed half our Relenza and all of our Tamiflu, and I sold a bajillion boxes of surgical-style masks. Oh, and some lady freaked out because the cheapo off-brand surgical-style masks don&#8217;t have a particle micron-size [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wish I had known: medical education and team structure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wish someone had told me how medical teams at hospitals are structured, given that they are the units in which most pharmacy students end up on hospital rotations. Well, and as a corollary, I now wish I&#8217;d known how physicians are educated, because they call the shots on most hospital rotations.
From what I&#8217;ve gleaned, MDs have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things I wish I had known before 4th-year pharmacy rotations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I now have a license, students and completed preceptor CE credits, which means that once I&#8217;ve been licensed for a year, I&#8217;ll also be a pharmacy preceptor.
I think this—in conjunction with other signifiers like the house, car and spouse—qualifies me as an adult, and true to adult form I cannot stop mining my past to try and [...]]]></description>

		<title>dear body: knock it off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a touch of the lung-gunk (a technical term), which is ordinarily no trouble for me to fight off in a weekend, except that earlier this week I sneezed while bending over to grab a stock bottle and stretched something unstretchable in the vicinity of my sacrum. So if I use the nice, vigorous [...]]]></description>

		<title>oh, you have no idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the midst of vacation&#8212;because I am now a yuppie and can do things like take vacations&#8212;I picked up some books on local flora. It bothers me to walk down the street and not know names or uses for any of the plants I see.
Anyway, Bookstore Gal was impressed by my signature. &#8220;You must be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. See calls the pharmacy several times a week, whether he needs a prescription filled or not. He called me about the peanut butter salmonella recall. He called to ask me about whether his previous pharmacy was engaging in fraudulent Medicare billing practices. He also asked me if he should continue to take his Parkinson&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
