Oh god, that poor kid.
Glad you're not going to explode, Steph.
Man, I just reviewed a crapload of terrible job applicants, and a couple of OK ones. Depressing.
Darn your sinister attraction!

I apologize in advance for anyone who is having productivity issues today. I have the day off, but have to pick up mac at 2. It seems I am actually going to be productive today, so yeah, I stole it.
- laundry in
- dog dishes washed
- car cleaned out (not vacuumed)
- litter cleaned
I have 2 bags of clothes/stuff to go to thrift stores and a storage bin of NOT MY books to go to half-price books, also mail ready to go.
Let's hope I can keep this up for tomorrow also!

re: the article about man and dog on foodstuff. There is a go fund me link for them that should be added - it is over $20K, so maybe not a link, but a note recognizing that not all people suck. It looks like maybe some of the funds will go to the org that trained the guide dog.

Thanks for all the advice last night. Rose is doing better today. We did take her to the ER because when M picked her up at daycare last night her fever had risen to 104.7, and I was worried it could keep rising. We had a pretty decent ER experience, fortunately; they got us in and out as quickly as possible, about an hour and a half in total. The advice was just what you all were saying: Tylenol/ibuprofen, keep her hydrated and keep an eye on her. I was very relieved when I got to the ER last night to see that she was acting basically normal; a little fussy & clingy, but otherwise her usual inquisitive self, which is a good sign.
She slept well last night and after taking another dose of Tylenol this morning, her temp was down to 99.1. I'm sure it will fluctuate a bit, but am very relieved that it's responding to medication.

I like your doc, Steph.
I hope I can syphon off a bit of msbelle's productivity as I am trying to clean up the den today.

Because books.
Fevers are scary! I'm glad the ER wasn't too onerous, Kate, and I'm glad she's feeling a little better.

Those pictures almost made me pee a little. Not from excitement, to be clear; from sheer terror.
