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

Oh, Sheryl! I'm so sorry. How frustrating. I hope you find a good solution.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Sheryl! That sounds difficult. I'm sorry.

"I hope you've enjoyed this year as much as I have!"

That is brilliant.

Our wings are not tired.

Adulting achieved. Had blood drawn at 8AM, and got the Shingrix vaccine. The phlebotomist at my PCP office is the best. He did tell me I have to get the 2nd shingles shot again in the fall. Boo. To celebrate getting my blood taken I stopped at Dunkin and got a cholesterol filled sandwich. Really hoping my diligence the past months shows up in my results. Digits crossed.

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

He did tell me I have to get the 2nd shingles shot again in the fall. Boo.

Didn't you explain to them how much you dislike shots?

Laura, good luck with the test results.

Fingers crossed, Laura!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck, Laura! I hope the sandwich was delicious!

Sheryl, there are a bunch of people who have been posting on my local (TKPK) listserv for summer work for their nanny while the families are away or home, so you might be able to do something local with a nanny or a share fairly painlessly. I think our ex-nanny is booked, but I can call her if you like to see if there is space in her share (Mr S would have to come towards us for that).

Good luck, Laura! I had my doc check my immunity to measles, mumps and rubella this year, just in case. Working on a U campus exposes me to all sorts of interesting things, and I have not forgotten that my sister caught TB from U students.

Caught TB sparky?!? Dang!!
