The "Liittle country, big dreams" placard on the Beresheet lander hit me right in the feels. Way to go, Israel! Space is hard.

I'm at urgent care with ltc who was up coughing all night.

{{ltc and family}} I hope she, and the rest of you, get quick relief.

Not the way you'd want to spend a nice Saturday (and it's VERY nice in this corner of New England right now). I woke up with bad indigestion so I got a "late" start to driving (8 AM?) but had a bunch of good rides, and dropped off some stuff with Rosemary at the rehab place. Now I'm going to get some stuff down out in the yard, mainly killing all the vines I can reach.
It would be much easier just to set fire to the yard.

Conjunctivitis and an ear infection.

Oh no! Sorry, sj. I get pinkeye so easily. Just thinking about it makes my eyes water.

She is so completely miserable. I had to wake her up at the pharmacy to get the prescription, and I've never seen her so mad or so miserable. I'm hoping she feels better for the rest of her school vacation week.

At least with kids they do seem to bounce back a lot quicker than we do, but I certainly understand why she is miserable!

She is just now finally admitting her ear hurts. This kid is determined to always be fine at all costs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, poor ltc!
