What the fuck, ita !. Do any doctors work there, indeed. I'm sorry that you have to go through this shit AGAIN.

Don't get Veteran's Day off. Voting tomorrow between the early-morning and the lunch crowds; benefit of working from home. Doubt I'll actually be working, though, because power still hasn't been restored to the NJ offices and it doesn't look good for tomorrow either.

That's completely do-able, Liese. BWI has both AMTRAK and MARC trains (my last MARC ticket from BWI was $6) to Union Station and DCA is on the Metro.

We should be around!

I just got the "this has addictive potential" speech. So I reminded her that if I'd had what my docs recommended, I'd have had less dilaudid, and this bed would be open for ACTUAL SICK PEOPLE. Instead, I'm waving away nurses who keep offering me a little more dilaudid "just in case".

Oh, yeah--I'm totally setting shit up for addiction here, right? It's all on me? Hand to god, I have been turning down dilaudid for the last 4 hours because it's just dilaudid, not a plan. I don't want them to just keep a steady stream of opiates into my bloodstream that ends up to be way more than what my doctors requested, and way less effective.

My day off tomorrow is back on! I don't have to come in, just be on call. (Yes, they're very flaky here).

Lavender oil is no joke, yo.

I hope Nurse Paisley Moonblossom has some lavender oil handy in lieu of painkillers the next time she has a broken bone or similarly painful problem so she can test its efficacy for herself.

I think I made the wrong choice for sheriff on my early voting ballot. Only heard ads about his opponent being endorsed by police organizations and his retiring predecessor after voting, so I went mainly by years of experience in law enforcement.

Goddamn, ita !. What in the everloving hell? So they decided the agreed-on ineffective plan wasn't ineffective enough? And fucking lavender oil? Seriously, "attack the migraine with hummus" might make more sense.

Re: Romney not paying taxes - my understanding is that this was a legal loophole now closed (he's grandfathered in) that he used on a small percentage of his income. It's just a part of the picture. Also, somehow, it paid him an annuity, which may have hurt the church's funds? Don't quite understand that part.

That reminds me I need to write up my cheat sheet of judges to vote no on.

I still have to sit down tonight with the LWV site to see what issues are on my ballot, and what they actually say, so I can make my cheat sheet, to pack with my food, coffee, book, charged phone, and life raft.

I just looked at my sample ballot, and I really love the font they're using.
