santos purposefully pissing langdon off by being touchy with mel.
during the time the langdon was gone, trinity and mel became better friends. actual friends, not just people at work who are friendly (this is an important distinction to mel). they’ve had dinner together, gone out drinking a few times, they text regularly. it’s nice. mel has helped trinity be more forgiving to herself and others while trinity has helped mel stand up for herself. they have little jokes and private smiles.
when langdon gets back, there’s the few weeks of awkward adjustment where mel has to balance her friendships with two people who can’t fucking stand each other. she breaks one day, softly crying because she loves both of them but they keep making her feel bad about it. they realize that they love mel more than they hate each other so they come to a truce.
santos, now that she has this weird frenemies relationship with langdon, can now observe him without seeing him as an evil asshole. she notices that any time she makes mel giggle or when mel grips her arms in excitement, langdon makes that stupid fucking pouting face that he has. it’s like she’s hit a gold mine and makes langdon jealous becomes her favorite pastime.
if mel is charting and discussing the patient with langdon, trinity will lean on the counter next to her and play with the end of her braid “waiting” for her turn. mel starts getting sad over a shared patient so trinity rubs her arm until mel leans against her and trinity locks eyes with langdon. smirking while he fucking fumes.

Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was like…the end all, be all of special effects?
in recent events of that zoo losing the clouded leopard, it reminded me of the time i went to a large petting zoo and there was a free roaming little black sheep. cutest little guy i ever saw, soi went to the zookeeper nearby and said ‘i think its really cute how you have a sheep thats allowed to just walk around. ‘ then the zookeepers eyes widened and he grabbed his walky talky and ran

In one of my ADHD groups, a question about motivation and inability to start came up. This is one of the comments:
"Mel Robbins (who is also ADHD) talks about 54321-go. She wrote a whole book on it, but its mainly as soon as you think of something or have / want to do something, you count down from 5 to 1 then MOVE YOUR BODY TOWARDS WHAT EVER IT IS YOU NEED TO DO before your brain can talk you out of it. There loads of neuroscience why this works and before I was diagnosed I used this technique all the time. From getting out of bed, to getting a shower, to reading, stopping scrolling, stopping watching tv to literally everything if I needed to. I still do. It really helps me. And like you say, once you get started its okay, and then the dopamine kicks in. She did a talk on it, I think if you google it will come up. Also, tyrosine and theanine is good for me too. Hope this helps."
