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

Laura, good luck with the test results.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fingers crossed, Laura!

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!!

Yup. Nine months of treatment.

Yikes! I should check on my vaccinations, I don't remember getting any boosters for long time, not even tetanus.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, I'm a baby about shots but would be a bigger baby about shingles. TB, yikes!

Yeah, I'm a baby about shots but would be a bigger baby about shingles.

Not one, but TWO friends of ours got shingles in their eye, and it messed them up for quite a while. One of the guys had to take a long leave of absence from his job because his eye couldn't tolerate any light. Even when he was indoors with the curtains drawn, he had to wear sunglasses.

Oh, yeah, shingles is horrible and painful and to be avoided in general but I hear eye involvement is a whole other level of bad. I'm so glad there's preventive care available!
