Oh, I forgot to report that I came in third in the Ugly Sweater contest. Out of 5 (they changed the time and I don't think everyone saw the e-mail that said so before the new time, which was earlier) so not that much of an accomplishment, but, hey, I got a prize so that's nice. I had to explain several times that the images were ice skating penguins that had lost their white bellies to the ravages of time, and not misshapen dolphins; that probably gave me the edge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A prize is always good! (I mean, depending on what it is, I guess.)
So I got a hoodie from the Alzheimer's Associate for fundraising, and I ordered the XL, and it is not at all L, which is a bummer. I think I might just bring it straight to Goodwill.

Timelies all!
Grrr, I just found out I was short-changed $5 at Starbucks. Nothing I can do about it now...

Bummer, Sheryl.
My prize was a set of mini-springform pans, which I already have but maybe in a different brand and I can totally make use of more. Single-serving cheesecakes are a major part of my diet.
And now I am home, have my candles lit and a glass of wine. Hooray weekend!

Question: If I wanted to get my sister a pair of sunglasses, and I wanted to spend about $100, and I wanted to go to a store to see them in person, where would I go?

I still have a 101+ fever and my lungs are wheezy. The closest Kaiser urgent care is at the same exit as a mall. I suspect that spending three hours to see a doctor would cancel out whatever benefit I might get. I'd like to talk to the oncology nurse line about it. You get to the oncology nurse line by calling the oncology department and then pressing a number. However, calling the oncology number gets a recording that says "the behavioral health department is closed." This has happened before.
I'm supposed to have a transfusion tomorrow to make sure I have enough red blood cells to go to Nashville, but I don't think I can do that with this fever. I don't know what I should be doing, and I cannot brane with a fever.

Ginger, can you go to the next-closes Kaiser urgent care? Or if you go to get a transfusion, will there be someone there who can take a look at you and get you help, or will they just be like 'oh, you're sick, go somewhere else this is not our department"?

Oh, crap, Ginger. Is the transfusion part of the treatment, or a booster for a trip?

Can you call a more general nurse/help line, Ginger? Maybe they can get you to the oncology nurse without going through the oncology number?
