News from around here

Once again, thank you to everyone for all the kind thoughts. They meant a lot to me. {{{hugs}}}

I'm happy to report that my sister was discharged from the hospital today. The biopsy results will take about a week and a half, but the surgeon was optimistic that everything was benign. She's pretty groggy and still in a fair amount of pain, but hopefully that will improve soon.

The contagion count at my house is now up to 3 kids with the flu and 1 with a sinus infection. M and N are doing much better, but E is pretty sick. He didn't get the Tamiflu (which costs a lovely $50 per prescription *with* insurance) like the others as he didn't start evidencing true symptoms until yesterday, so I'm afraid that his illness will have to run the traditional course. I'm not a fan of the 102.5 fevers and neither is he. It's amazing how much a 6'1" 14 year old becomes the little baby he used to be when he's sick. So far at least, G and I have avoided succumbing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that continues to be the case.

In unrelated pleasant news, it was 82 and sunny here today. In my humble opinion, it doesn't ever have to get warmer than this. :)

Glad about the sis, sorry about the quarantine ward. :)

Re: weather...I, er, planted herbs today. :) Well, indoors. For now. :)

You're obviously more garden-y than me. More power to you! I'll be glad when the weather decides to stop yo-yoing personally. I'm ready for warm, not hot, temperatures.

So glad things are getting a bit better. I'm crossing my fingers for your sister and your kiddos. Plus I hope you and G escape the crud!

Well, we did escape the flu. No word yet on whether or not we're going to escape the latest bug. lol

How's life on the Left Coast?
