and I should NOT have to wait until 5am tomorrow to find out it's a snow day for the kids
Of course having been raised in NY my first thought was WooT Snow Day! I would operate under the assumption that the busses won't go out, so no school.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

There is literally no chance school is happening tomorrow, it's just my stupid district never decides it's official until the last minute.

Do they at least post it on a website or text you? That is annoying. Ours seem to be the opposite. They cancel when they even suspect there might be an issue, then the kids get a day off with great weather.

Came down with a fever this afternoon, stopped at urgent care for a PCR test, and my BP is 170/90. It was 120/90 last month. Fuck fuck fuck.

Do they know what it might be? Also, obviously, being stressed elevates your blood pressure, which stresses you more.

I have such bad white-coat anxiety I've had people check my pressure twice "Because you would be dead, if your pressure was really like this."

I hae the white coat syndrome too, which is ridiculous since I work with doctors and am in the offices all the time, but apparently it is a thing.
I hope it was just a result of the understandable anxiety, Tom. Did you get any results on the test?

Yikes, Tom! If you have a fever, that means you're at least somewhat sick, and being sick (especially with a fever) can raise blood pressure. So this might be temporary.

OK I reread your Google doc, and actually my possible trip is the week after you're planning to leave NYC so we should be fine. Whew!
I haven't read the doc, when is Shir going to be in NYC, I could maybe come down!
My hairline has receded as I've gotten older, I have been diagnosed with frontal facing alopecia, which is very common in black women. I am on a whole bunch of meds (hair vitamins, anti inflammatory, antibiotic, a topical cream, a topical ointment, and minoxidil!). It's stopped receding, and my derm wants to discuss a hair transplant. Fun!
