I just found out that S., my friend who is living with us, got so sick that she fell at work and had to go to the emergency room- on Monday. She has stayed away from the house so not to contaminate it. I feel like a horrible person that gives the impression that you can't be sick in your own bed. Also, I feel like a horrible person to make this all about me. In conclusion: I suck in a myriad of not-so-delightful ways.

No helpful, but whenever I see the word sacroiliac (and it's not often) I immediately start singing a song from the 1980s by Canadian rap artist Maestro Fresh Wes:

So many suckers on my sacroiliac
It's like a rap-sack, backpack
(wic-wic-whack)
Give me some slack jack

I've had plenty of online interaction with her and like her a lot.

Thanks Kristin!

Hey Buffy!

I'm not saying I'm headache free this morning, but I will say that today is a much better day than the last few.

Took CJ to the ortho yesterday afternoon and he will start Braces - Phase 1 next week. YIKES! The good news is that our insurance will cover 85% of the cost. The bad news is that there won't be any coverage left for Phase 2 (unless one of us has a new job by then).

Welcome, Buffy!

A song for Nora

where's a nice place to stay in London? Tom's dad is being slow in his response to Tom telling him we're coming so I wish to punish him by staying somewhere else, not in his neighborhood (Brentford) as originally planned. Back pain makes me vengeful and mean.

Nora, then you'll have to travel more to see them. Don't be punish-y if it's going to end up punishing you. I hope your sacroiliacorwhatamychsaid feels better.

Megan E., what is the name of that song? I have a vague memory of it and was trying to think of it when I read Nora's first post.

Welcome, vroomvroom! I've been hesitant to say it, because your board name is so fun, I might not stop saying it.

The misunderstanding-that-can-be-resolved-by-one-conversation thing annoys me in any show.

actually, I have a theory that this is responsible for the invention of chick lit - with somewhat smarter characters.

got a rejection letter from my last interview - which means they found someone really interested in working the children's room. Which is good. Though I don't hate the kids room, that was one of the negatives to that job.

happy iceing, nora

welcome new people

now, should I go to the cafe this am , and hear more spain stories or should I stay home?

Hi Laura! And others...including the new and not-completely newbies.

It's almost 6:00 pm and I'm sitting at work, over half an hour after my husband called and said "Can we get out of here at a reasonable hour tonight?" He's on the phone and I'm v. bored. And trying to decide if I should dispute an eBay thing or give the vendor one more chance to refund my money.
