You're right. The people I'm feeling now just aren't up to snuff.
Yeah. He's my hero.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So I retrieved Emmett from the East Bay and we got into the Peds Urgent Care relatively quick. They have a rapid test for strep and, yep, that's what he's got. Which was actually good news since it wasn't Mono or some virus he'd just have to tough out.
I got the ABs and he should start feeling better in 24 hours. Just fed him beef broth over rice and will make him a cold smoothie in a bit. He's hungry but everything hurts to swallow.
Between this and Matilda having an extra holiday (Lunar/Chinese New Year on Monday) I'm getting behind on the writing time I usually have on Mon/Tues.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'd usually rather have strep than a bad cold or something else you just have to gut out.
Speaking of guts, feel better, msbelle!
I had a phone screen interview today that I think couldn't have gone better. But we'll see by Friday if they call me to come in for the next stage.

Before the test came back the doctor was saying, "If it's a virus and it goes on for two weeks or so, then bring him back in."
No! No two weeks of throat pain! Also, no mono thank you very much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh, the worst I have to complain about is too friendly co-workers. Seriously, the PMO made me have aimless chats about people and movies I don't know for half an hour before I got my point in. I'm chatty Cathy, but I like to top out at 7.5 minutes. Well, I guess I have new best friends. I think there's just one project manager left to woo.
The tester asked if she could hit me in the face just as my boss walked by. I love his "No! Exclude me!" face. It's pretty hysterical. I think everyone's high on first day of jeans.
I hope all the crappy people start feeling better, stat. I mean crappy feeling people. You know. Good lord.

Feel better, sick ones.
I think I need to make cornbread.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I'm glad Emmett is within 24 hours of feeling human again.
msbelle, I hope you feel better soon.
Second day back to karate and my shoulder is still feeling good. I'm very happy. Tomorrow I start learning how to use my fans. They make such a lovely wicked sound when they open and close.
