Yep. The doctor told me it was flu, and then proceeded to lecture me about my blood pressure for fifteen minutes.
Boooooo.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I am concerned about our "informed" electorate. At the Iowa caucus a woman - wearing an "Amy" button - had voted for "Mayor Pete" ... but she hadn't realized he was gay and wanted to change her form. (I didn't follow long enough to find out if she could - seemingly, having filled out the form? ballot? and handed it in, they had to get special permission for her to change.)
And at either a primary or a caucus, an older woman wanted to know why Trump wasn't on the ballot/form ... she didn't understand that this wasn't the general election and that there were all these names - none of them him - because it was to choose the Democratic candidate ... and she'd been registered as a Democrat for years.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sigh...why does it seem like every day when I get home, something else is borked.(I know why, but I wish Mr. S was more careful)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I bet being lectured at does great things for your blood pressure.

Our wings are not tired.
The last time my PCP took my BP it was absurdly high. Of course I hadn't slept all night due to ear pain from a sinus infection and drank an entire French Press of coffee prior to seeing him to wake up enough to drive there. I told him not to judge me and I would text him a picture from my home machine later. He was cool with that, but made me continue to send him text pictures for a few days.
Just got home from girl's night out with my son's MIL. We went to dinner then to a National Live Theater production of Cyrano de Bergerac. We were both exhausted by the end, but it was so very good.

Our fevers spiked again yesterday afternoon, and ltc and I are both really sick again. Also, my netflix account was hacked, which is not allowed when I have a sick kid. Thank goodness we also have Disney+. She had something to watch while I dealt with the issue.

Yikes, what a pain. After a crazy-busy few days at work, I'm finally having a slow morning. Bored now...

We were supposed to go to a birthday party for one of ltc's classmates tomorrow, but I just let them know we wouldn't be there. I'm probably also going to have to reschedule our theater tickets from Sunday to another day, if I can find a sitter.

I'm waiting for TCG to get home so I can nap. ltc won't nap even when sick.
