I was told I look like Julianna Margulies (again) and that I have birthing hips (for the first time).  Welcome back to school, Molly!

I remember exactly how to get everywhere but don't remember the street names.  The bathroom counters seem too tall now, and my bed is so wide.  There are new floors but it's all just the same and, God, I'm glad to be home.

". . . I'm starting to realize that we live in order to change someone else's life."

An hour and 45 minutes later, my immunization adventure has ended. Good news--I won't give anybody rabies now get meningitis OR mumps OR measles OR rubella.  There's a possibility that I'll die/ my limbs will fall off/ I'll have a seizure, but I won't get meningitis, mumps, measles, or rubella.  Probably.  Except maybe a little from the vaccines.  ( Read more... )

The "vertical indentation in the midline of the upper lip" is called a philtrum (plural: philtra).
