this tube came out of my arm today. not the dollar–that’s just there for scale. that would be pretty weird, having someone pull a dollar bill out of your arm. it was weird enough having the tube pulled out.
mocktails
we had a goodbye party for a coworker today, and since she is a very classy lady, it was a very classy party (them glasses are real plastic, don’tcha know)
playing doctor
so every night for the past couple weeks, Doug gets to inject me with antibiotics. there’s this whole little routine and the nurse recommended laying everything out in order, which works just fine. I’ll still be happy when the IV line is out and all this foolishness is over.

this is one of my favorite things to see: a book that I have been waiting for and it’s finally here! now I can settle down for some obsessive reading…
lion face
today was “Physiology Understanding” Day, aka PhUn Day. we invited my friend Jason to come in to teach one of his Laughing Yoga classes. it sounds a bit weird, but it’s really fun and you can’t help but feel better after half and hour of silliness and giggles.
MBTA
several of the visitor services staff dressed as the subway lines of the T. here’s a few of them…
designer at work
our floor staff created a fabulous pumpkin for the annual pumpkin pageant. the competition is usually very stiff, but this is a strong contender
life and death
the sugar skull is a traditional decoratiaon for the Day of the Dead. they represent the sweetness of life and the sadness of death.
halloween treats
last year’s witches’ finger cookies were such a success, I decided to make them again. I think the dough is greener than it was last year, but still a decent “moldy corpse” color all the same.
too many cooks?
for our special “tornado” themed Bad Movie Night, we made funnel cakes. Doug did the frying, while Greg and Carlos dusted the finsihed product with powdered sugar. once they were done, we brought them upstairs and promptly inhaled them.
