Prince Valiant or Mary Worth get the dullest comic ever votes from me.
Mary Worth is hysterical if you read The Comics Curmudgeon.

Yay ita's mom!
Man, that's good to hear, because I am in a FOUL mood. One of my brothers has basically gone awol, isn't returning texts or voicemails, and his wife isn't either. I don't even know what state they're in, because they're supposed to be moving to Colorado from DC. And I just redirected my father from running off to Whole Foods to spend hundreds of dollars on gluten-free food which my mother won't eat and which they don't have a diagnosis for anyway.
And I have gotten this frelling project through all sorts of complicated regulatory hoops, to have some late-to-the-party jackass bureaucrat ask me to change everything just so it will look nice when it's done. ARGH.
AND the tv in the break room keeps getting changed back to Fox News. Which I half-jokingly consider to be workplace harassment, because it makes me experience a hostile work environment.

Go, go ita !'s mom!!!! The wonderful news gave me a giddy smile.
Today has been fever and chills for me. I'm trying to work through it, but I keep zoning out. Luckily I don't have any deadlines today, so I can cross check my work tomorrow. I need a hot nurse to tend to me.

YAY ITA'S MOM!!!
I am so frustrated about this rash thing- it isn't getting any better, and I went to my PCP today. He thinks I have this: [link] which is apparently a mild form of Steven Johnson's syndrome!!! But he doesn't want to give me steroids and he does want me to go to the dermatologist. The weird part is that I do not appear to have an infection nor have I taken any drugs orally, and he does not think that clotrimizole applied topically could cause this. Anyway, I have no treatment yet, and somehow I have to find a dermatologist to be seem by in the next couple of days, because my doctor thinks it is fairly serious. He said the receptionist would help me, but she felt that they would not be able to see me sooner than July 31 even if my doctor wanted them to.

Wow. We're supposed to be low 80s today. I might regret having all of the windows open when we get there but the fresh air is nice.
but the medical community and Lady Luck conspired to give her cancer-free CAT scans and blood tests, so I'm going have to say...I don't feel bad. BECAUSE I'M BUSY FEELING RELIEVED.
That is wonderful! I am feeling huge relief on your behalf as well. Really good news. Wow.
Let this clean blood test overflow and spill on to as many people as need it.
Dad had a blood test on Monday and goes to the chemo oncologist tomorrow. I hope he's getting some of that overflow. No scans scheduled for a month currently. But I am hoping the blood test is good and am anxious about whether they are going to recommend any chemo.
Man, that's good to hear, because I am in a FOUL mood.
That's a lot of stress. And I am sorry your dad had to be redirected. I feel like I sometimes need (try) to do that with mom. The urge to do SOMETHING concrete is so overwhelming that it's hard to step back and figure out the most effective thing. I'm sure I am guilty of it too at times.
