Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hugs, friends. I've been reading and thinking about everyone.
My latest is that I had to go for a follow-up mammogram and ultrasound earlier this week because they saw something in June during my annual one. I wasn't worried, but they found something suspicious, so now I have to have a core needle biopsy next week. So. That's fun. It's probably nothing, I know. But still. I'm not looking forward to the procedure or waiting for the results.
a core needle biopsy next week.
That doesn't sound fun! Wishing you easy peasy best results.

Pix- I had to do that as well, except they basically wheeled me right in for the core needle biopsy. And then I was a wreck. It was nothing, and they gave me a metal tag in the lump so that I didn’t have to do it again.
My COVID-19 problem is now somewhat solved through the intervention of the provost with UHS actually allowing me to send the COVID-19 card I had already collecting, and giving us an email address for future enrollees to send their cards. They still basically have to do it in one day to not appear on the list and incur the Dean’s wrath, but still, an answer. But I may still be broken, because that was terrible. I play the role of Horton Hears a Who at work all the time, but this was the biggest one ever. But I guess even though I was embarrassed it went to the Provost (a student emailed her) it actually got someone to listen to me once I was able to explain the situation to her. It was a break from the endless number of people who kept repeating that the students should have been compliant by August 1 that they weren’t even our students until August 15, so how could they have been compliant by August 1? Do we all need to time travel to BEFORE August first so I can accept them earlier so they could have been compliant? Because it is now August 19th, and we need a solution now, not in the past. I may have gotten shirty with a number of people over this.
Those people deserved shirtiness, Sophia, how frustrating!
I have a no more stuffed animal rule for ltc, but those Jellcats are so cute! And she would go nuts for the caticorn.

We have, it seems, successfully produced an adult, in point of law. Which is to say, Casper is 18 today. I sort of feel the same way I felt when she turned 1 - they tell you the child is not a baby any more, but she is in fact very much still a baby. But she's working, and being quite responsible about it, and no doubt will continue to mature as is appropriate. She is a wonderful young woman.
Relatedly, I went looking for the Natter in which she was born, and on this site I can only find closed threads back to Natter 30 or so. IIRC there was a separate older archive hosted by DXM, bless his memory? Is that somewhere now?
Bookmarked. Thank you, Nilly!
