Great article in the NYT magazine about how medical schools are addressing abortion. [link] I didn't realize that the Susan Buffet Foundation (wife of Warren) funds so much pro-choice and contraception programs.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Should you even have to do that as a contractor?
He is going to have a shitfit when he sees my bill. I wonder if I can take a day off next week...Thursday is Colin's birthday, and his girlfriend is having a surprise thing for him.

I spent the day at a hotel pool for my friend Whitney's birthday. Honestly, I felt like I was at MTV's Spring Break. As I walked in, "Welcome to the Jungle" was playing. Luckily, we had a roped off area away from the children.
It was surprisingly fun (I think that the special area helped). Hanging out, enjoying the sunshine and a cocktail or two was a lot of fun. I thought of ita and wondered if she was having a good time at Colin's pool.

hmmm...I wonder if Grace has chicken pox.

Because books.
Did they break out on her torso first, Kat? Check her temp, too.

Amy, no fever. And no, the rash originated on her leg and then her arm.
But with benadryl and an oatmeal bath, the original inflammation that is left looks like pimples, they are still there and they are on her torso.
I'm fucked up because i'm like, "well, if it's chicken pox then at least it's not what I fed her."
I have guilt and worry around her feedings.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Heat rashes and just general irritation rashes tend to get little blistery pimply things on me.

Because books.
Yeah, but with feedings you *need* to know about allergies, because you'd need to stop giving that food. Chicken pox, if that's what it is, will pass.
You've got a big job feeding her, lady. And you're doing awesomely.

They aren't blistery. They're little angry dots of unbroken skin that say SCRATCH ME.
Yeah. I know. K was like, "Well I'm not taking her to the ER because even if she has chicken pox, they aren't going to do anything about it."
Great.
okay. going to bed. Paranoia is not a beautiful or efficacious thing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Kat. I'm hoping it all looks better in the morning.
One thought: my kids got impetigo once. It was a rash, little red dots all over them, esp arms and torso. It wasn't bad except it took the doctors over a week to accurately diagnose it, and then two more weeks until it had cleared, and I had to keep them home from school for the whole time because it was communicable.
