The AMA office is across the street from Trump tower, and they're pissed that he's having a fundraiser there this week.
Yeah, and he's talking to a convention of police chiefs at McCormick place before that. So everything between them is hosed.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Our wings are not tired.
Back to the time of year where just about every weekend our traffic, land and sea will be disrupted by the orange one. Grumble.
Fire bad. Sending cool moist vibes to CA.

Happy birthday, aurelia! Yes, FB gave me that reminder, and also told me that I have been there for 11 years today. Hrmph, I still have a hate/love relationship there.
DH is off to buy trailer tires then we head again to Florida. It's always something. He was pleased that he found the tires both at Lowe's and from a local trailer guy so he didn't have to go big chain.
Meanwhile, although the hotel has a very nice room it has no breakfast and I am hungry now.

Happy Birthday Aurelia! Laura, I am sorry you are hungry and are having a hard time getting home. You and DH are such good partners so you are getting through it together.
I have to admit I am finally getting a little winded. I think today I will irk on sorting my bins, which are right now just bins of "save". I can put away stuff in the bathroom and kitchen and then sort into sewing room and bedroom for the rest.
First, I just have a little to do in the kitchen to be Done, though.
Washing ceilings was tough

My old office was around the corner from the AMA. I gave the tower some elaborate fuck off gestures, or at the very least a stink eye, whenever I walked by it.
I smelled smoke as soon as I walked out the front door of my apartment this morning.

Every time I'm there for a meeting, I give the finger to the tower. It's very soothing.

Happy birthday Aurelia!
I will also be briefly visiting Chicago, although with far less disruption (I would hope) than the Cheeto in Chief will bring. Details in F2F.

Yikes to all the fires!!
I dropped my bff off at the airport last night and promptly came home and went to bed with a headache. This morning it's still lurking. Grrrr.

Ugh. My job just makes me despair for humanity sometimes. I had an article last week about the differences in mortality rates between black and white patients with pancreatic cancer (I know you'll be shocked -- shocked! -- to hear that black patients had higher mortality rates) that basically boiled down to "because racism." (Seriously, the authors went to some impressive linguistic gymnastics to say "this is because of racism," without actually using the word "racism.")
Today's article is about how homeless patients with cardiovascular conditions receive poorer treatment (or no treatment) compared with non-homeless patients with the same conditions, and it basically boils down to "because fuck the homeless." [edit: To be clear, the article is really compassionate toward homeless people, and is pretty angry about the huge differences in mortality rates between homeless patients and non-homeless patients.]
Bah. (Not as entertaining as the article about STIs that got the word "Chlamydia" stuck in my head to the tune of "Lydia, the tattooed lady.")
