This was not a vacation day where I got up early and was industrious. That vodka was mean.
Well, the railing isn't going anywhere.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I do believe this is a Significant Anniversary for NO.
Nope, it's today--same as my birthday. :(
Though that is so far so good--I spent several hours last night reorganizing my bathroom cabinets (because I'm a Virgo like that, when I put my mind to it), and am hoping to do more cleaning and reorganizing later today, so when I get back from my trip everything will be awesome. And a friend who is going to stay here for a week while I'm gone came over to get the key and brought delicious quiche and pastries and coffee! Aww yeah, birthday breakfast delivered!
Now if I could just figure out why I've been sleeping like crap the past week or so....not enough time in hotels?

Oh, yeah. So it is. Sympathies, Nora.
In other news, my brother the doctor is going to Liberia. Which I am NOT on board with, damn it. I don't know if he's going to be treating any patients, or just working with international staff to help set up facilities, but the whole thing really worries me. Argh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Many happy returns, meara! That does sound awesome so far.

Nope, different brother. This one's an infectious disease specialist who has spent a lot of time in Africa. He has done some consulting on Ebola, but I wasn't expecting him to go...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I would be just as happy if no one acknowledged the stupid anniversary. Next year is really going to suck.

We have off today. Nothing like a four day weekend to blunt the trauma of back-to-school in early August.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
I need hivemind help for a report. If a count goes from 11 in one year to 21 in the next year, is that an approximate 50% increase or 100% increase? I know that if it went from 21 to 11, then it would be a 50% decrease but, in my head, if it doubles then it has increased by twice as much so it should be 100% increase ... maybe.
I wish I could just say it almost doubled but I need percentages for this report.
