Hee. Sorry, I headed out of the office after that.

watched an episode of Dr. Who

Which one? (We're up to The Unicorn and the Wasp on Australian TV.)

Cocksackie is viral; there's not much to do about it.

Is there anything the pediatrician can do? Other than confirm or rule out the illness?

No, and in some cases not even that, if it's a nonytpical presentation like Dylan had. We were told to keep him on Tylenol if his fever spiked, and otherwise just keep him away from other kids for a few days. (Though if it's going around the daycare that ship has likely already sailed.)

Hi all. Good to see Kristin finally arrived home. We've had about 8" of rain. Messy but not bad. Tornadoes to the west of us leaving horses without barns. Horsies ok. Only injury I have seen was a kite surfer that was picked up off the water, bounced a couple times on the beach then tossed into a truck on the road. Yep, Darwin at work again.

Looks like I might have a rain break for a little while. Might drive the mile to the office and check things there since I can't reach my computers. Might not have power.

eta: yes, a lot of mights there, like storm track, uncertain

I was gonna say...

Glad all you got was a good soaking.

The weather people here keep saying wistfully how much good a tropical storm could do for the reservoirs. Florida's cloud = our silver lining.

I kept asking folks where the nearest bell tower is, since it seems historically speaking, Texans do that kinda thing, but nobody would tell me where one is.

He was sitting up there in the Texas tower
Way up there for more than an hour

He didn't choke or stab or slit them

eta: Sorry about the bold. Not enough coffee.

Kristin, I'm so glad you finally made it home!

I did NOT sleep well last night. Stupid asthma.

Anyone have any ideas about removing mold from the inside of a window AC unit? I'm thinking that's not helping me. I didn't even realize it was as bad as it was until I took a little glance last night. Yuck. Need the AC, but wow, that *cannot* be helping me.

I hope for Georgia's sake that you do get some good soaking. It would be lovely if it would stall over Lake Okeechobee here for some time since it is still 3' down. I need to stay away from the weather blogs since they are making noises about it heading out to the Gulf to get its organization thing going on.

My plan to check on the office just got scrapped by another tornado warning. Silly storm. All in the path please stay safe. Kids want to go play in the wind. Um, not while the tornado warning is up. I'm such a mean mom.

Yeah, sanity's such a bitch.

Sorry for all the non-sleeping, Bitches. I actually had a pretty good night except for when the puppy had trouble figuring out where she wanted to be at 3 a.m.

Dear Student: I know you don't care for that reference librarian. I'd like to let him go myself. However, submitting anonymous demands that the BigBoss ("if [Boss' Name] isn't man enough") fire him immediately or else you'll go to the Dean, is really immature and makes you sound like a spoiled brat. S/he who can't actually walk into one of our offices with a well worded complaint shouldn't accuse someone else of not being able to man-up.
