Thanks for the birthday wishes! I took the day off work and got in a nice, long walk in the park before the rains start again, finished a library book, made chicken pot pie, and assembled more of the 608 piece Lego Orchid I bought myself for my birthday.

Happy Belated Birthday, shrift! Sounds like you had a lovely day.
This is the first day so far in the new year that I don’t have anything to do when I drop off ltc at school. My house will be mine and I plan on journaling and reading and enjoying the quiet. And maybe doing a little bit of clean up. After having her home the whole week she was sick and then the whole vacation, I need a little bit of me time.

Our wings are not tired.
Excellent birthday plan, shrift!
Ah, nice recharge day, sj.
{{Sheryl}} I hope this year brings solutions.

{{{Sheryl}}} I hope you’re able to come up with a solution.

Punishingly Intricate
I’m so sorry, Sheryl, and I hate that there aren’t better resources in this stupid country for you and your kid.

I received a call from the school nurse first thing this morning that ltc needed her inhaler and couldn’t stop coughing. So, now I get to spend the rest of my day worrying about her. The cough from the flu can linger for 6 weeks or so according to her pediatrician.

We're getting ready for the big storm to hit. Heavy rains, flooding and high winds.
We're on a bit of a hill so I'm not too worried about flooding, but our drain at the bottom of the back stairs got overwhelmed the other day and looked scary as it filled up.

Yikes. Good luck, Hec.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Work told us yesterday that our regular in office day tomorrow will be optional because of the weather. Which I appreciate, I don't like driving in storms! I apparently lost power in the last one but I wasn't home for it so I just got the notices from PG&E and wasn't inconvenienced at all. I'm in a "flood zone" in that I am required to carry flood insurance but I am on slightly higher ground than nearby areas that are really flood prone, so I'm not too worried about my house, but some of the streets around here are likely to be pretty well underwater
