Time to attempt to go home again. I'm so ready to be home, despite how much I'm going to miss everyone. Keeping my fingers crossed that I get home today or I may just run out of medical supplies.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good luck, sj!
I'm trying to decide if I want to make a new pot of coffee or go out and grab some. I think I made the weakest coffee ever this morning, and it's just gross.

Because books.
Fingers crossed, sj!
Coffee~ma, vw! It's a brave person who can venture outside before caffeination.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I hated taking the kids for vaccines, too. I always dosed them with a little Tylenol beforehand, but it's hard to let someone poke your baby and make them scream.
Aims had to leave the room, leaving me to be Captain Stoic.
Hardest part, I think, was after the first shot (they were doing two that day) the nurse asked me to help hold Emeline down 'cause she was, understandably, thrashing about. THAT sucked. "Daddy's helping torture you. So much for innocence, huh?"

I decided it was worth it, and off I went. The building next to my Dunkin Donuts was torn down yesterday, so that was weird to see...especially since I didn't realize that Staples was tearing it down. It's going to be weird to have a Staples in my neighborhood. It just seems so commercialized.
But, at least now I have a decent cup of coffee. And donuts. Now some inspiration would be good!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
ND and Kristin, that really sucks about the Mouse mistreatment.
Apparently the "that'll give you bees" story ended up in the LJ community Metaquotes. And someone there has made an icon of it. And that someone happens to be in my friends list from the Doctor Who fandom. So here is the post [link] .
ETA: Ok, it may or may not have been made by that person, but anyway, I saw it in her journal.

Funny. I was out for drinks recently with one of the consultants from my old job and he was telling his own version of the bees. Though in his case the key line was "I met the Pope!"

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Related to yesterday's vaccine conversation, Science-Based Medicine and Neurologica both have really excellent posts up about the Hannah Poling case if people want to read more about it.

Just had a quick talk with the producer, there will be compensation. He agrees that I've gone above and beyond on this project.
