Happy birthday you guys!
So in keeping with my nye tradition, my SIL has been diagnosed with a highly contagious bacterial infection ( mycoplasma pneumonia.) So there's a good chance we'll all get it.
And yes, we're still moving 'em.
Raise your hand if 'ew.'

So, Noah asked for a tablet for Christmas. Two christmas's ago, my mom bought me a nook color. Last year I gave her one. I re-purposed mine for Noah (and he is THRILLED) and then my mom offered to send me hers for Grace. So we took her up on the offer.
Yesterday, we were talking about the nooks and my mom said, "I'm not even sure why I got one. I barely used it."
I reminded her I got it for her and I think she felt abashed. Honestly, it's fine. IF you aren't going to use it, better for the kids, who will use it, to get them.

Oh no, poor SIL. Hope you all remain as well as you can.

Oy sarameg!
Good luck with that Burrell.
So, after an hour at work I have done everything that really needed doing today...I can come up with stuff to do for the next seven hours, I hope...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, Theo, Jesse, and Rayne!!! (One exclamation point each.)

SIL got a steroid shot, the right antibiotics and oral steroids. So if any of us do start to come down with something, straight to a clinic with haste and warning.

Forewarned is forearmed.
The great thing about coming to work today is that I could bring in the plate of cookies my neighbor gave me (last year the ants got it).

sarameg - maybe gargle with Listerine? Or something? Don't get sick!

Heh. I just edited an article about how sugar is going to KILL US ALL! (Actually, it's not alarmist in any way, but the data are pretty damn clear that added sugar is actually WAY more of a risk factor for chronic disease like cardiovascular disease and dementia than was previously thought. DAMN IT.)
t edit I'm glad I waited until AFTER Christmas pie and cookies to edit it. That way I got in my deadly sugar with no shame.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
