Holy crap. There's been an earthquake in New Zealand: [link]
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

he has had no fever, just increasingly sore throat. 5 days of meds. Now to send him to school tomorrow or no? Technically he will be contagious until about 7pm tomorrow.

No, do not send him to school. He's still contagious, and he might feel progressively more miserable tomorrow. Let the meds work.

Because books.
he has had no fever, just increasingly sore throat.
That used to happen with Ben all the time, and I missed strep until way late a couple of times because his throat *wasn't* really too sore.
Give him a day at home to let the meds start working.

I find it charming that a couple of my neighbors have taken to calling me for distraction/support when having awful commutes home. Just talked one down after watching the car ahead do a 360 and crash into the rail on one of the scary overpasses into downtown.

Should be - Christchurch is on a very volatile plate right now. Auckland's a couple hours' flight north, and, I think, more prone to volcanos than earthquakes. I could be wrong. I've dropped a line to them and to the people we met from Christchurch. Hopefully they're ok.
Thanks for asking JZ.

Loki wanted out. He dug in the snow and lasted 30 seconds before he was digging at the door. The whole house hates snow.
