I'm glad Lukas is doing well.
I had a couple of friends over last night for the first time in a year. We made G&Ts with Empress Gin, which is both yummy and pH sensitive.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Yeah I think the audience is important there! It’s good to be careful.

Yikes Teppy. Good luck there.
David I’m surprised they already extended to October! I know a lot of places here have done so but I figured if kids went back to school in September that would be the big change of circumstances. Fingers crossed that happens.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We are no longer doing telework in my lab. Guess I'll actually use some of my leave for days where I have an appointment of some sort(for me or Mr. S) in the middle of the day.
In annoying news, the practice where my primary care physician is is splitting into three new practices, all membership-based. I'll have to see what the fee is for the practice my doctor's in. If it's too high I'm going to have to find a new doctor/practice. Ugh.

In the end it's only ever been one step, and then the next.
I think I'm going to have Emmett come down and hold her hand while she gets her anesthesia.
(She's very anxious about it herself.)
I found out after the fact that Ken has had a deep-seated fear of not waking up from general anesthetic, and was very frightened; he said that my being there made him feel safer. I hope that this isn't in any way what Matilda is feeling! But if they will allow Emmett to be there, I would really encourage that.
(I got him settled for the night and had my meltdown in private, in the shower, where nobody could hear me screaming.)

That is delightful news about JZ's brother. I had wondered how he was doing several times, then forgot to ask.

We saw him tonight! He looks hale.

I’m so relieved to hear JZ’s brother is doing so well.

That is awesome. I hope there were many bear hugs.
Spent a week with my sisters, with hugs! Now back on my coast. Busy few days then send Mona back to NY on Thursday.

Glad to hear JZ's brother is doing well.
**Is socioeconomic status a problem in medicine? Sure. Does that mean that racism doesn't exist anymore? Jesus Christ, no. Are race and socioeconomic status intertwined to the point of being inseparable? Sure, but it still doesn't mean that racism doesn't exist anymore or that structural racism isn't a problem in medicine.
Oh, to be able to "gift" some people with ita's ER experiences trying to get treatment for her migraines, which always made me mad enough to spit nails. Though if I could have done that, I'd have started with her doctors.
