Ellie woke up last night at 11 just burning up. When I took her temp, it was over 102. I was very worried because, in addition to my worries about her health, we are leaving tomorrow for Minnesota for 3 weeks. This morning, she is totally fine. Temp is 99 and she is acting well rested.

Of course, now im bummed that she can't go to school and I have to pack with toddler assistance.

This show is never going to end.

back on the couch, flat on my back. stupid back! I do have an adorable Taz curled up next to me though. Kristin, I'm sorry about the computer thing and the resulting money woes. at least you got your data back though. Healing ma for Byron.

it is hard to type while flat on one's back. that is all.

{{{Kristin and Byron}}}

But, go Kristin on getting the data back!

Poor Ellie! Poor Stephanie!

Poor Nora!

Not a good morning around here, me thinks.

{{Stephanie}} I'm glad her fever's down today!

just fyi, in case - we had one of those viruses over here for a couple days where she only got the fever at night - and during the day she was active and fine. Which was (wrt daycare and getting work done) insanely insane.

{{Nora}}

healing~ma and benign~ma for Byron!

did you get my email, vw?

Yup. I responded. We can totally reschedule. You take care of yourself, k?

Ya in May I'll get the $600 tax incentive thing. But I have to pay my taxes before I get the incentive.

IRS Stimulus Payment Schedule: [link]

Note that people who had their tax refund direct deposited are the first to get their stimulus payments issued, and will receive the payment by direct deposit to the same account.

People who received their refund by check, and those who owed taxes and paid by check or credit card, are on the later schedule to receive their payment by check through the mail.

It's still unclear to me whether people who paid their tax bill with an electronic funds withdrawal from a checking or savings account will get their payment by direct deposit or not. I'd bet "not," until the IRS clearly says otherwise.

Lots of healing ~ma and biopsy ~ma for Byron.

Get well soon, but take a long nap ~ma for Ellie!

I would very much like to give one of our part time librarians enough rope to hang herself tonight in an annual review meeting, but I'm afraid the Big Boss won't let me. (She'd hang herself by answering the question, "What hours did you work on Sunday?" because if she lies I have proof that she left in the middle of the day (elevator & garage records), and if she tells the truth then she falsified her timesheet.) Big Boss never lets me fire people who deserve it! ::pout::

So I gave in to the urge and had BK for breakfast. I have achieved a semblance of a tater tot! The sausage, egg and cheese biscuit was somewhat disappointing due to the biscuit; I miss the sourdough thing they used to have for a breakfast sandwich.

Must have a light lunch, though. And take a long walk afterwards.
