Yay, Matilda!
ltc has pnuemonia and pink eye and is thoroughly miserable. The NP said I absolutely should not cancel my hotel reservations for Saturday because she'll be fine by then and not contagious after the antibiotic. Now if TCG and I can just avoid getting sick before then...
Oh, poor ltc. Health~ma for all y'all
Get well, ltc! That's a miserable combo.
Apparently they offered Matilda an $18K scholarship as well. I like that.
Having one good solid option will make waiting to hear on the others much less fraught. Very glad for Matilda.
At least the NP thinks ltc will get un-miserable in short order.
Yes, apparently the pneumonia is only in one lobe of one lung. So, we caught it early.
Poor ltc!! And her folks! Hope she recovers very quickly.
And hurray for Matilda!
Health~ma to ltc and congratulations to Matilda!
Conga-rats for Matilda and good wishes for ltc. If anyone has spare -ma tomorrow, Dad is going in for his second hip replacement.
Congrats to Matilda, and I hope ltc is feeling better soon!
I've been re-watching Sweet Magnolias. It's cute and fun, and also kind of interesting from a "culture wars" sort of perspective -- it's set in a small town in South Carolina, where the kids call their parents "sir" and "ma'am" and everyone goes to church on Sundays, and the pastor at that church is a Black woman. (I've also completely given up on trying to figure out the economy of this town -- there are mentions that there used to be a mill and a union hall, but the mill closed years ago, and there are tourists who I guess like going to cute small towns, but every town that I've ever seen that looks like this has had a university or a major employer or something nearby, and they don't seem to.)
Maybe they have a prison on the outskirts of town? My niece and her husband moved to a town like that a year or so ago and the prison is both the economic mainstay and not really talked about.
Also, congrats to Matilda! While I hope she has adventures elsewhere for 4+ years, it’s nice to know there’s something guaranteed. Where else is she looking, Hec?
Health~ma to ltc.
