Our wings are not tired.

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!

ltc has a snow day today. However, there is now snow, at least not yet. Because of the complete lack of snow TCG still has work. ltc is already being difficult; so, I’m having my tea in bed until her morning shows end.

I haven’t noticed any hair loss yet.

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

I hope urgent care was able to give you some relief, Tom!

Do they at least post it on a website or text you?

It's a random mix - I get emails, my husband gets texts and calls. Sometimes I also get texts! And they update FB/Twitter. Anyway, they did cancel school last night so nobody had to wait for a 5am call. Victory!
