The more it is zero degrees here, the more I want to move to Portland. Bike courier soup delivery only sweetens the pot, so to speak.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

[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.

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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I couldn't be more happy to be living in Souplandia. It was even sunny and 66 degrees today! Ok, that's a total aberration and will be back to cold and rainy tomorrow, but it was a delightful diversion. I would totally try to move all the buffistas here except for the SAD disorder.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's a lovely gift, and shows that she is attuned to what you're going through and what might help.

I'm having a really difficult time at my hematology appointment. they can't get a vein. And I'm alone because Mom is on vacation. Some distract me.

Ask for the funky laser machine that reads the veins. Then bewail the state of their technology when they say they don't know what you're talking about.

They finally got one, but I'll ask about that, Connie. Right now I'm working on not crying in public.

Thanks, WS!
I'm finally out of there. I'm treating myself to a burger an the. I have to find something to wear to my cousin's fiancée's shower this weekend. And finally a trip to Target because we're out of all the things.

OK, here is something strange. Any medical mathematicians out there? What are the odds?
Our sound program has 9 people. 2 faculty, 1 staff, and 6 students. In 3 days, we have a SECOND person in the hospital with appendix problems. First one burst over the weekend. Second one, not sure if it's burst or just enflamed (? not sure what right term is). Two out of nine in a few days? How crazy is that?

Ha, one of the faculty (who was a math major in undergrad days) asked in his Facebook, and one of his friends responded [inserted sic's as needed]
One is seven individuals will require an appendectomy during their lifetime. Average American life expectancy is 78.64 years, or about 4103 weeks. In any given week, there's a 0.021% chance that once of your students will need an appendectomy. In any given week, there's a 0.017% chance one of the remain 5 students will need an appendectomy. In any given week, there's a 0.0000036% chance 2 students will need an appendectomy. Assuming a 3 year program, with an academic year consisting of, let's say 32 weeks per year (96 total), that makes for a 0.00035% chance that 2 out of 6 MFA students would need an appendectomy in the same week, or about 1 in 300,000.
