Do you ever wake up and hear words in your head? I do. Right upon waking. Not every morning. But often. They sound in my head as if I am actually hearing them with my ears.

Usually it’s total nonsense. But now and then I’ll hear a sentence that almost makes sense, like this morning:  a latent approach to tmb.

Latent generally means existing but not yet developed or manifest; hidden or concealed. So I suppose an approach could be described as latent.

Then I plugged the letters t, m, and b into a Google search. The first page had a number of results:

“TMB – Texas Medical Board”

“TMB (3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine) is a chromogenic substrate for Horseradish Peroxidase. TMB produces a deep blue color during the enzymatic … ” I didn’t pursue it any further than that. There were a number of other references to this meaning of TMB on the first page of results.

Then I found “Tumor mutational burden – an emerging immuno biomarker.”

On the basis of my “research,” I’d have to say that this morning’s message from my subconscious … if that is indeed what these things are … is just TMB. Or “Too Much Bullshit.”

And that’s my thought for the day.
