ok, maybe it's more of a thing where I have been dehydrated my entire life, and didn't notice until now. Because... there is no way I was drinking anywhere close to as much as you people.

and no, my pee is not sweet. My pee smells like... pee.

You don't need to drink that much water, as long as you drink that much beer, anyway.

Today I'm gonna be at work again.  Also tomorrow.  Management has just now realized that our team was down 40 percent for the past two months during which they also gave us an extra month's worth of stuff to do.  Also: They moved their deadline up a week.

Also also: I used also a lot in this post.  Count how many times and tell a grown-up!

I don't drink That much beer. But I'm not sure how much is That much.

2-3 Liters, dog.


Also, I have always heard that it is 1 ounce for every 2 pounds you weigh (200 lbs-- 100 ounces.)

I have agreed to bake far too many cakes this week.

Also: where in the name of the one panda who's successfully maintained an erection this year is everyone this last couple of days? I'm sure you cats don't all keep Sunday holy.

Yesterday I worked.  Today I was working.  Tomorrow I will work also.

There is a pattern forming.

Today I'm going to lose my job. Oh, wait, I did that yesterday. Well today I shall find a new one!

I made some delicious hashbrowns.

I got some potatoes and grated them, also some onions and cooked it all so it was delicious.

Wait, aren't you the one in Qatar? Is finding a new job that easy there?

I read it like this 3 times and couldnt figure out why you were putting potatoes into brownies.

Today I'm gonna have actors read the final draft of a play I've been working my ass off on.  It's about a class of students dealing with the death of a favorite teacher.  It's a real tear jerker.

Then I'll continue to comfort my friend whose husband left for a remote part of the Congo today (for a month with no contact with the outside world) on a UN mission to try to contain an outbreak of Ebola.  He assesses who lives and dies.  Holy shit!  People A got to a tent for treatment, People B go to a tent to die and be incinerated!  He has to burn everything he takes with him before his return.  I cheered my friend up by telling her she knows what to buy him for Christmas - replacement socks and underwear!  She was telling me the UN warned him that the locals hate the treatment team because they wont allow the dead proper burial, and that the majority of the people who finally go in for assessment are too far gone for help.  She had their son make her husband a bunch of hand prints labelled "Hi Five!" for his dad to take with him, which started me misty eyed.  A month is a long time for a little boy, nevermind my friend.

Then I'll comfort my other friend who's been unable to get pregnant after trying for a year straight.

Then maybe I'll cook up a stir fry for the SO and I, and maybe go to bed early?  I'm tired just typing this. 

There's been so many tears in the past 24hrs (friends' and my own).  Why is it so fuckin' hard to be cognizant?  Seriously!  I come out feeling like an awesome friend, and like I'm definitely not alone in the universe, so, you know... Melanie 1, CrapWorld 0, but seriously... my spirit hurts.  Fuckin' life!

Today I'm gonna finish up this shittay field work and go home for a much needed shower. Err, by home I meant "hotel". I hope I brought enough shampoo and conditioner. My hair is so tangly from all this work and wind that I am gonna need a lot of conditioner to get it untangled.

[wombat]

Smells, thanks for reminding me to stop whining and count my blessings.

Yikes.  I didn't know that particular bug had raised it's blood-soaked head again.  Could you imagine the media frenzy that 166 deaths out of 372 cases would stir up in the US?  I just did a quick fact check on that - the closest thing we have to it is Dengue fever.  Sixteen people contracted in Texas last year (presumably on the Gulf coast).  None died - although the experience probably sucked.  "Breakbone fever".
