Units of measure
I told a girl at my work how my friend's new baby is gaining two ounces a day. She said, "But that's just two shots!"
"Yeah, but when you're only eight pounds, it a significant percentage of your body weight."
I did catch some rainbows:
Rainbow over Del Ray
I am still employed.
I sliced up some peppers tonight, which I didn't realized were hot peppers, and ended up with a burning hand. I googled up some remedies. The one that worked for me was whiskey, taken internally. (I think the only remedy is to wash off with a degreaser as best you can, then wait out the pain. Disrupting the nerve endings by touching things (though oddly enough, washing the dishes made it hurt worse) helps too. But a good stiff drink is pretty much the way to go.
Last month, I got to take steroids for my lupus. Wow! It's too bad steroids will kill you, because they gave me a two week vacation from lupus. I was walking around without all my assorted joint pains and thinking, "Hey, 40 doesn't suck after all. Is this how my friends feel all the time? Lucky bastards, they don't know how good they have it."
I read a book on photography and figured out how to use the light meter which is built into my camera:
Gladiolas in Simpson Park, Del Ray, Alexandria VA
I thought about writing, but didn't.
