Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, yet another reason to appreciate the hospital we usually go to -- you can totally get a "guest tray." And the food is pretty good.

Also you're a nice friend, flea.

In fun news, I just got Hall and Oates tickets for an outdoor venue on a Saturday in August, which will either be the most amazing thing or a really bad idea.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

So we occasionally get patient samples drawn on the weekend. All of us in the lab have to choose a weekend day to come in if there are samples expected. I chose tomorrow, and there are indeed samples from one patient being drawn. I was told I could come in when the last sample was drawn and process all time points together. The last time point is supposed to be drawn around 5 pm. Sigh...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well ... to try to be upbeat, at least it's not 5 am .... (signed, Not a Morning Person)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oy, Sheryl.

That's gonna be great, Jesse! I have no knowledge of your local typical August weather, but other than that, awesome! Is that with Squeeze?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Jesse, that sounds awesome.

Sheryl, that sounds very frustrating. I'm sorry.

It is! It could be terribly hot and humid, but we'll just sit still, I guess?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think we've hit the 8 month sleep regression. Gumball was up after 90 minutes, fell asleep on dad, then woke up upon being put into his crib. I'm currently trapped under the baby. Let's hope I don't run out of internet, and he considers the joys of sleep.

'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"

Too bad Grubhub doesn't come into your house and deliver to you when you're trapped under a baby.
