Tons to do today, so of course I did not sleep at all last night. Ugh.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to the Dublin Writers Museum today. We are also day tripping Shamrokon. Tomorrow we fly home. Sigh.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I had a horrible night for "sleep" myself -- aches and pains and twitches. And I left my ibuprofen home, which might have helped more than the Tylenol I did have. Bleh.
Instead of cat-sitting, I'm Aunt-sitting, which is more interactive. We may even go to a movie matinee this afternoon, which sounds like exactly the kind of diversion that would keep her from fretting about the fate of the shore house, which is being emptied this weekend preparatory to final demolition and lot sale.
My poor cousin, who just dropped her only child off to college this week, is going to be helping with the house, so she's really getting hit on two emotional fronts at once.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry, guys -- I slept a ton! I know "they" say there's no such thing as making up lost sleep, but I do not believe it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh god, wolf spiders. We get them sometimes up at the cabin, and they are fucking terrifying. The fact that they aren't at all dangerous is entirely beside the point. Furry + extra legs + HUGE = lizard-brain-freakout.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Guys, I am so terrible at math that I cannot wrap my brain around this, and it's a little embarrassing: is -0.04 really smaller than -0.002? The extra zero in -0.002 makes it look like it's the smaller number, to me.
t edit I can put it another way: does -0.002 fall within the range of -0.04 to 0.03? (This is a statistical question for an author, and to me it looks like -0.002 is not within that range, because it's smaller than the low end [-0.04], but the author says that -0.04 is a smaller number than -0.002, therefore -0.002 is within that range.)

Yes it is smaller, Steph. If you multiply them by 100, .04 = 40 while .002 = 2.

It's because it's negative that it's confusing, maybe? I wish I had a number line on my desk right now! -.002 is between -.04 and 0, and then .03 is on the other side of zero.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
In the same way that -40 < -2, yeah. .002 is a smaller number than .04, but the negatives have to be taken into account. If you owe more money you have less net worth, for example.
Eta: yes, it's within the range. This is totally a job for a number line.
