I am now full of awwww for poor sick Matilda.
GC, I'm so sorry all this is piling up on you.
I am the queen of the respiratory infection, and I have all the drugs separately: ibuprofen, antihistamine, decongestant and guaifenesin. If my nose is just runny, I take an antihistamine. I take a decongestant (and only the kind you have to sign your life away for is worth anything) if my sinuses start filling up, but I only do that if I really feel terrible or I'm flying, because it makes me wired. Particularly during the day, I think it's better to take the guaifenesin and lots of fluids to help you cough up mucus, and only worry about the cough if it's keeping you from sleeping or you're going to the theater. If the cough gets bad, only codeine works, but despite the fact that I've had bronchitis one to four times a year for my entire life, the doctors still treat me like I'm a glassy-eyed twitching addict and allot me four ounces of codeine cough syrup.
t / rant, except that the codeine rant never closes
Okay, that's probably more than you wanted to know. My real point, when I started, was that it's better to know your medicine and take exactly what you need.
I'm getting allergies (you know of the non-allergy kind). My cousin sent me this this morning [link] with the message "He would have loved this." (He being our grandandy.
Can't. Ruin. Makeup.

Oh my. Blessings of ease to you and yours.
And a warm hug to Matilda and JZ. Having the snot monster in residence for the last week, I feels so deeply for her...and the heartrendingness of cheerful, sick baby. Aww to infinity.
hah. and how are the lords of disorder at your place today?
Disorderly. But I'm leaving early anyway, I told them we'll be happy to help them out
on Tuesday morning.
Full stop. They can suck it.
She's such a beauty, Susan! And that's a lovely picture of the two of you.
For someone who spends half his time goofing off online, I sure got a pretty awesome performance review.
I just upset the teacher of an employee's child. The teacher called trying to get in touch with the employee, I said i'd have to take a message and instead of simply saying, please have her call Ms. So and so regarding her son. The teacher went into this whole long explanation about what the child had done. I cut her off and said that I shouldn't be privy that information and she said, "oh. I see you don't want be responsible for giving a message." I told her I would definitely pass on the message that the teacher needed to be called but I felt uncomfortable hearing the personal details that were none of my business.
The teacher gave me a call back number but sounded huffy.
You were completely correct, askye. Has the woman never heard of FERPA?
