Once again, no cool number dates this week.

There is however, a cool medical date.

It turns out that I take injections, which are supposed to occur every other evening.  As the weeks and months slid by, it was much too hard to remember whether I had a shot last night or not.  The solution – inject on even-numbered days – 2,4,6,8, etc.

This method is close enough to “every other day” and has a positive mental side effect.  On months (January, March, May, July, August, October, and December) that have 31 days, I get an extra day off!  So no injection for two days in a row this week – July 31 and August 1.

Leap years are a bonus, since February has 29 days.  2016 will be special!
