I will be sending all the good extraction vibes her way! I had dental work done yesterday (the first of a long road!), and it went well, so I am forwarding that ~ma on to Matilda!
Gladly accepted!
Dylan is getting a Presidential Award for Educational Excellence this year
Right the fuck on, Dylan!
and I'm so proud of him but also incredibly relieved he didn't graduate 8th grade during the Trump administration.
And well timed!
Emmett is here and supporting Matilda by mockingly eating food in front of her and talking about the burrito she can't have at the moment.
We're off!
As is right and proper sibling behavior.
Timelies all!
A little late here, but here's some healing ~ma for Matilda. Also, way to go on the grades!
Everything went smoothly. "Her teeth came out like candy."
She started to panic and cry when they were putting in the IV but Emmett knelt down beside her and held her hand, and she was okay.
Thanks for the -ma. I release it to the wild.
Aw, man, we all need an Emmett. I am so glad it went well, yay!
My friend just found out she's got to get her wisdom teeth out. She's 52.
I stand in solidarity with your friend, though I am one year older.
Finally got a decent video and a couple of pics of some ruby-throated hummingbirds today. [link]
Very nice, dcp! Somehow, the hummingbird in the video looks huge to me. I know how big those feeders are, so I know it isn’t, but my brain is getting tricked by something.
Hmmm. Curious. Depth-of-field issue, perhaps? The camera was about four feet away from the feeder, and the wall in the background is at least another ten feet away.
Let me know if you figure it out.
I am still amazed at how good cellphone cameras have become. (And my cellphone is almost two years old, now.)
My Mother met with the Oncologist today. Stage 1, 6mm - she will have a lumpectomy in the next couple of weeks, we think (they were waiting to hear from surgeon). After that, several weeks of radiation.
Really about the best news it could be.
