Sorry that Covid was a stowaway on your welcome wagon, Shir. Here's hoping it doesn't disrupt your plans too much.

I've booked the room for my first vacation in a year and a half, a couple nights at the Crescent Hotel in late May. Hopefully the ghosts won't be too noisy. [link]

smonster--thanks to Mychart I can check and see the results. They are all in and everything looks like it's in the normal level so it's not any of that. But I'm glad I got the blood work done first. So I guess once the dr reviews it he'll have me start on a higher dose of Lexapro and I'll see what happens.

I'm still thinking it might be tied to my hormone levels because I thought my period started and realized I was having my regular a few days before it starts PMS symptoms (or regular since I figured out since I tracked my period and was able to pinpoint what it was) but it hasn't started so not sure what is going on there.

Steph--I have had double ear infections and they suck. Warm compresses felt really nice. I hope you get better soon.

Hey guys. Thought I should drop by for the new thread.

Shir, good to hear you made it to the States - sorry about the unwelcome guest. Hope you have as good a time as you can.

Nilly, if you happen to skip and land on this, know that I join everyone who's wishing good things for you and yours.

I won't make the memorial, but I promise to pour something out for JZ.

So hugely disappointing news for Matilda.

Three of the boys on her baseball team failed to make grades, and can't play the remaining four games of the season. That puts the team down to 8 players and they have to forfeit the end of the season. Which also means she doesn't get Senior Night where they honor graduating seniors.

It's just a horrible shitty ending to a very good season for her.

Oh no! That’s such a shame.

Oh that truly sucks, David! I’m sorry this is costing her so dearly.

That is DH’s main focus as coach. He gets updated grades on all his players consistently and they have “study hall” prior to practice to go over things or arrange tutoring before it gets bad.

I’m in Jamaica so I have cell service again. Whee! I forgot how smoky it is here.

Oh that truly sucks, David! I’m sorry this is costing her so dearly.

She's okay this morning. It's disappointing but she's already shifting focus to finishing her ceramics projects and prom and the Memorial and graduation.

She'd rather be playing baseball, but this does free up four days a week for her. She's just really ready to be done with high school.

Senioritis~ma to Matilda.

That puts the team down to 8 players and they have to forfeit the end of the season. Which also means she doesn't get Senior Night where they honor graduating seniors.

Oh, that is so unfair to Matilda and the other remaining players! What a huge disappointment.

M's baseball journey has been such a joy to witness, it's so disappointing of the universe to screw up the end

Nice moment this morning - when I got on the bus that I ride for 1 stop to get to work from the transit center the driver complimented my top and asked where I got it, and when we got to my stop asked if she could take a picture so she could have her daughter look for it in stores near her. I don't think I've ever had that happen before, it was neat. It's very bright colors. would make a good caftan.
