I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Looks like tonsilitis or similar--kiddo has a sore throat. We're to treat her fever and keep an eye on her.

DH and one of his brothers had severe, recurrent tonsilitis as children until they had their tonsils out. My family is the opposite--my parents managed to raise four children born between 1953 and 1971 without a doctor ever so much as hinting at yanking our tonsils, which I get the impression is even more unusual than them raising four children who didn't need braces. (We may have time bombs for hearts and be a bit cancer-susceptible, but at least we have bombproof throats and straight teeth!) Looks like Annabel may be more of a W. than an S. in the throat department. Poor kiddo.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Poor thing. Hope she feels better soon.

Sorry, Susan. I hope it clears up soon.

Speaking of throats, mine is feeling kinda sore and I'm feeling kinda feverish. I'm hoping I'm not coming down with something, 'cause I'm supposed to see Mom this weekend (Mother's Day and all that) and sick folks visiting chemo patients is majorly contraindicated.

Plus, hurty, a bit.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, poor Annabel! Hope she feels better soon.

I just sent off another resume. I think this one would be a really good fit. Here's to hearing back...

WARNING: EXTREME CUTENESS AHEAD!!

Outside at last. Hey what's that over there!?! I found a leaf; it's the best leaf ever. Yay! Stick! The end.

Job~ma for vw!

Get better soon~ma for Annabel!

And congrats to Fay! (With a side-helping of finding-the-documents~ma, of course.)

So! Anyone have suggestions for where I can find a good lunchbag sort of thing? One that I could customize with a Nightmare Before Christmas patch or something? One that I could put a lock on?

Yes, my luch was stolen AGAIN. Or thrown away. I don't know which. All I know is that the plastic bag holding my lunch wasn't there.

(I don't want to use my Lenore lunchbox, because what if it gets stolen? Plus, it's not quite big enough to hold the food containers I prefer.)

grrrr. SO angry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That's it. Someone's getting a smite in the face.

I have no ideas on the lunchbox. Maybe one of those industrial, construction worker lunchboxes? Or maybe a fancy cooler that you can keep at your desk?
