The Aunt and Uncle I'm now helping out had an elaborate policy for missing school. If you missed a day of school you had the following day's afterschool activity too. So if you were out tuesday you missed, say, gymnastics wednesday even though you were back at school.

It cut back on faked illnesses to be sure.

Poor little Dillo! Home seems wise.

Some it's-nothing-ma? I felt a sore spot up by my collarbone yesterday and there is a marble sized bump there and it's tender. I am on my way to the dr, they are seeing me when I get there.

Did you ever eat at Artisenal, Jesse? OMG so good. It's like cheese heaven.

Oh yes. I worked in that building for a while, and we would go after work sometimes. A little gougeres, a little cheese plate. Yum.

Wishing for it being nothing, msbelle.

Nothing-ma, msbelle

All kinds of nothing~ma, msbelle.

S. made gougeres the other night, Jesse, and I almost wept with joy. I'd only ever had them there, and he found a recipe on the web. SO good.

I love gougeres! I have a super easy recipe.

Now I would like gougeres! There better be something cheesy for me at lunch today, because I just went looking for someplace I could get raclette after work tonight and came up empty. (There are places that look good, but they are more inconvenient than just passing by on my way home.)

Good luck, msbelle!

I've had fondue at Artisanal. It is like cheese heaven.

CJ loves karate, so that is usually a good bellweather of how he is really feeling. No school means no karate.

Mmmmm, cheesy goodness. Will need to see if I can make anything appropriately nommy for lunch.

Good luck, msbelle.
