Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

I’m glad the mammo follow up is ok, Cash.

Hmm, 200 rolls for a family of four; I'm a single person and I think I have maybe 20? I know I have most of a pack in the garage and 5 in my bathroom. So I think we're about equal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I guess I'll buy TP next time I'm in a store? I think I have two rolls on hand?

My mailbox today had $640 in it from the Supervisor of Elections for payment for services rendered on election day for me and DH. Seriously, we would have done it for free, but ChaChing, money is good too.

Wow, they pay well! My gig was $180.

Call back on the mammogram came back ok.

All right, Lefty!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

wow, the parent/teacher pressures are really bad! I have a niece teaching grade school with her own 2 kids on hand, and another who has 4 kids and is a nurse, i think she's an OBGYN like her mom, the nursing professor. this is all so crazy!

so, now I don't feel like venting anything myself. My world problems pale in comparison to what people with families and/or are teachers have.

so, I'm not exactly cheered up, but I'm sending all my spare ~ma out to them that needs it.

What is even happening?

I'm glad your mammo came back okay, Cashmere.

Teppy, how many days ago was Tim exposed? I read something last night (that I now can't find) about not getting tested too soon. You could think you've gotten an all clear, when it's just that the virus hasn't replicated enough yet to be detected. This is from July, and is not what I read, but will give you the general idea: [link]

This is my long way of saying Tim definitely should get tested, but he maybe shouldn't rush to it. Just trying to help calibrate your nudge-o-meter.

Jessica, are you testing because you're sick/have been exposed, or to be safe for the holiday, etc.?

I just read that Bobby Brown's 28 year old son, Bobby Brown, Jr. has died. No real info yet. (Link leads to TMZ: [link] )

That poor family.

The last day they worked together would have been last Wednesday, IIRC. So, 1 week.

Maybe you can convince him to call his doc, tell him when he was exposed, and ask if he should be tested (he should!) and when. Then it's not coming from you.

Oh, but also! He texted me from work tonight "I scheduled a visit with Dad on Friday." [His dad's assisted living facility is still allowing short visits in a specific area away from residents' rooms, and everyone has to wear masks and be 6 feet apart, and you have to schedule the visit in advance.] "But now I'm thinking 'I really should have followed my wife's advice and gotten a Covid test'."

VINDICATION.

I told him "You can re-schedule the visit with your dad for next week, and schedule a Covid test for Friday." And he replied, "I think that's what I'll do." Sheesh, thick-headed husband.
