New thread smell!

Shir, lots of wishes for fast healing.

Thanks, -t. The one (out of two) coworkers I like may have walked out today? Unclear. Waiting for a text back but he super hates texting.

askye, I’m glad you pushed for testing. Do you know how long it will take before you get results?

Edited: I went to Beep Me. Duh. JZ’s memorial is 5/18 for anyone else out of it.

Oof, Shir, glad it's mild and I hope you clear the infection soon.

I will have to miss the memorial. DH is in Mamma Mia and we don't have the child care infrastructure to make that weekend work. Sad.

Uncertain work drama... Not a good band name.

Askye, that seems reasonable.

Speaking of meds, I've just started a low-does SSRI and have nausea on Day 2. I'm trying to figure out if this will persist, because this is worse than what it's trying to fix. Anyone have any insights or experiences?

Shir, Covid is a lousy welcome-to-the-US gift. I'm glad it's mild, and I hope you stay fever-free!

It will be good to see E. He will be 16 in Aug.

How is he 16 already?

Initial side effects should go away, but you might have to give it a couple of weeks (hopefully sooner, though!).

The infection in my left ear has been joined by my right ear, in some kind of sympathy or copycat move. It is not very cool at all. I feel like I'm underwater.

Oh no, Steph. That super sucks.

I have antibiotics, so they just need to do their job. Still, I don't care for this shit at all.

Natter natter natter natter, I need to catch up but right now it doesn't matter matter matter matter....

Hey, batter batter!

A's won tonight! And they won a series against the (first place at the time) Orioles. And split with the Yankees. And aside from their first disastrous week, they've played above .500. And that's with their three best hitters from last year being useless.

Also, our closer throws 103 mph and nobody can hit it.

This is the last season the A's will be in Oakland and I'm just trying to soak it up.

Matilda went over to her friend Iris's house and when Janet (Iris's mom) drove Matilda home she brought Cupid and Sparky over and I got to see dogs. Cupid blew right by me running up the steps to go find free snacks on the kitchen floor. Sparky was dumb, chunky and confused.

Anyway: dogs!

Yay dogs.

Y’all am I losing my mind?? I keep losing things. First it was my little travel bag I kept plugs and chargers in. Not a huge deal but a little annoying. Several of the chargers had been taken out of it, so the only one I really need to replace is the Apple Watch charger. Then I lost my makeup bag. Ok, I had it for the dance weekend, and took it to the hotel, maybe I left it there and it never showed up at lost and found. Bummer. Then I realized that I couldn’t find two of the hair things my sister gave me for Christmas. Maybe I put them away somewhere that is not the first five places I looked? Maybe. But then tonight I wanted to wear a sweater I own…and it is nowhere to be found. Nowhere! What did I do with that sweater?? Why can I not find things??

I hope you get past the COVID quickly, Shir.

Looking forward to smonster’s visit next week!
