Our wings are not tired.

Are you still getting your Tesla, Laura?

Yes! I am probably going to take delivery Thursday. They have had it there for a few days, but I told them they could wait until I had my ducks in a row. DH is at the DMV doing the title stuff signing over my Lincoln to the kid buying it now since they got his license and insurance stuff settled. I'll be transferring the tag from that vehicle to the Tesla.

This morning I had the notion that taking delivery the day after Halloween might be good since DH hasn't made space in the garage for me yet and I don't want it in the driveway when shenanigans may happen. I'm also thinking of requesting delivery rather than my picking it up because that way my son gets to deliver it to me! I'll ask him first if they are crazed because I would only do it if fun for him, not to add more on a busy day.

Oh Laura, that would be cool to have your son deliver it!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Finally got my flu shot. They've been giving them at work since the beginning of the month, but I just haven't been able to get there until now.

Oof, I need to remember to go get one of those.

Great job by Matilda, congrats!

Hahaha...ahhh. I went to my own family doc this morning, and she's doubtful of the shingles diagnosis, because I didn't have any pain or tingling before the rash erupted, the has rash crossed the centre line of my body, and because the area isn't painful. But she can't figure out what it is. It might be another type of herpes rash. It might be fleas or some other insect. She even got out her book of horrifying skin rashes. But since I seem to be okay, we're going to wait for the test results, and stay the course on the meds for now. If it changes for the worse or gets bigger, I'll go back and she'll try to get me in to a dermatologist. Sigh. While not have shingles is great, not know is going to drive me crazy.

I'd take fleas over shingles! Understand the not knowing is annoying though.

That's what I thought it was at first. But they don't quite look like flea bites, or bedbug bites for that matter. I guess it does mean I need to take my duvet to the laundromat.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congrats to Matilda! That's an excellent result.

Also, as An Academic, high fives to Matilda!
