So proud of my boys...

An Israeli bio pharmaceutical company said that it has the resources to produce ZMapp – the drug that can potentially cure Ebola.

The death toll from the Ebola epidemic has climbed above 2,000, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said Friday, as it voiced hopes a vaccine could be available in November.

However, supplies of experimental medicines — including the prototype drug ZMapp — are limited, and “will not be sufficient for several months to come,” the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned Friday.

Protalix, an Israeli bio pharmaceutical company, said that it has the resources to produce the coveted ZMapp, which has recently run out, Israeli site The Times of Israel, citing Channel 2 TV‘s report, said Sunday.
 
i've reached my daily limit on negativity, so be nice and cool or i'll fucking stab you in the throat.
 
I got .12 to my name. Seriously...

...no bank account(s) of any kind, no insurance of any kind, no outside $$ sustenance except for what I can produce myself; I don't own anything I can't carry on my back, except a couple of computers and a monitor I've salvaged; I am not employed by anyone.

Wasn't so concerned yesterday when I had $5+ left...

...it was enough for a couple of beef dogs on buns w/ all the ketchup, mustard, and relish I could stand ($1.50), a .50 bag of crunchy Cheetos, and a $1 box of Milk Duds for dessert.

Today, the concern became somewhat more acute, knowing that after eating tonight I'd be looking at a Monday morn almost completely broke, with a stomach no doubt wanting by the eve and the 9 ferals who've somehow come to rely on me for food and water also starting to grrrowl.

So, after feeding the ferals the last of their food this evening and filling their bowl full of nice, cool water, I headed out for grub, economizing in my head all the way: 2 beef burritos, 1 beef/bean/green chile burrito = $1; a pan of tomato & basil noodles = .66; a can of golden whole kernal corn = .66; a meal just over 1200 calories which would leave me .12 to my name...

...but, before I could even near my delicacies once in the store, I recognized a potential client, whom I've been working since April, straight in my path; he not seeing me, I walked by his side and said, Hello Mr. Jones and smiled and stuck out my hand, and he turned his head, recognized me, and stuck out his hand and said, Hi eyer and smiled - and I kept traveling toward the goods I'd come to acquire.

As I stood in the aisle scanning for my first item, Mr. Jones walked-up and announced with a wide, welcoming grin that he was ready; after months and months now of waiting for him to say just those words, I kind of hesitated when he said it and he took that pause to immediately ask me if I could come see him tomorrow. Of course I said yes and asked him what time...

...I'll be meeting with him first thing in the morning and when I leave him, I'll have a great idea of exactly what he wants me to build for him and $$ in my pocket, with more within the week. And, of course, 1 more solid client.

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Ain't that the friggin' truth....
 
2hrs53mins.

Dammit! I can't even break the 3 these days. Screw the herbs, I'm going the synthetic route.
 
I know you told me to go back to sleep, but I can't. Now I'll just talk to myself here until someone, or, better yet, sleep, intervenes.
 
Is anyone awake? It's times like these when I'm tempted to take people off of iggy just for new reading material, but then common sense kicks in and I remember exactly how crazy people have to (seem to) be to end up on my list.
 
everyone is asleep but us... hmmm...
we should vandalise some political threads.
 
The only political type thread I see on my front page is Yates's death row thread.

But if you point in the right direction, I'll pull out my spray paint for some proper vandalizing.

Sleep might win. I can feel her trying to pull me back into her warm embrace.
