"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ugh. Emmett has mono and he's had to go to the ER twice in two nights. Four hours last night (to confirm he didn't have strep on top of Mono.) And he's back tonight because he's coughing up blood. (Most probably because his tonsils are raw and inflamed.)

Poor guy. And he's got a final tomorrow. A biology final! You can't fluff your way through a bio final!

If he has mono and is coughing up blood, I'm pretty sure he can ask to get the test postponed.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Any decent bio prof would let him make up the final. (As I like to tell my students, "That's not the type of microbiology I want us to be doing!")

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I assured him as much but he's still stressing about it.

He got x-rays and a blood draw but he hasn't seen a doctor yet.

I know he really just wants to crawl back into bed and sleep for 18 hours.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, poor Emmett. Mono is not fun (been there, done that). Hoping for a speedy recovery.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor Emmett.

Is he graduating, or not yet?

Our wings are not tired.

Oh dear. I do hope Emmett gets much needed rest today.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Take care of yourself, Emmett!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

He was finally discharged at 1:30am. (after going in at 8:30)

Is he graduating, or not yet?

He's on the 5 and a half year plan at this point. Which is fine since he started young (and is only 21). He will look to transfer to a UC to finish his degree.

BUT he did just (very belatedly) get his driver's license.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Poor, Emmett! Much ~ma to him.
