Ugh. Kate, I'm sorry about your friend.

Poor Matilda.... pneumonia is the worst.

I got a message from a mom of one of the scouts in my troop. She's been home sick all week, but they received a notice that someone in her class had whooping cough. This is a kid in the class Grace just left. THANK GOD.

Suela, no getting what Rachel has

Yikes, no fear. Nah, I suspect it's gastroenteritis from over-indulging over the last few weeks. Every once in a while I just eat too much, and then my stomach punishes me for a while.

Foo, my flowers are wilting.

Ugh I'm sorry Steph, it's been a crappy 2016. On the other hand, you are doing an incredible job of keeping your sense of the ridiculous through all of this.

That's because the universe is doing its best to keep throwing the ridiculous at me. It's almost comical.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm so sorry, Kate.

That was stressful running out to grab Matilda and rush via cab to catch a last chance appointment today. But it was worth it.

She'd lost 3 pounds in a week! She didn't have that much to spare on her skinny frame (she went from 59 to 56) but eating has been hard with all the coughing. They put her on an oxygen mask with albuterol and some other meds for about ten minutes. That helped. Now she's on the strong meds which aren't sitting well in her stomach.

She's been a good trooper but it's been such a drain on everybody, especially earlier last week when she was coughing ALL NIGHT LONG. And I mean unceasingly no matter what the medicine. Even with better cough medicine we were getting woken up about 4-6 times a night. Like having a newborn again.

Hope this is a quick fix and relief.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just have to note that I don't want anyone talking about my ladyparts in a social group ever. (I was going to say any group at all, but god forbid I have a serious medical issue, the team there can discuss them.)

Must stop having an argument about the "Dark" Ages on Facebook. Have to go to work.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm just gonna say my ladyparts are not magical and anyone who says they are is lying and should be shunned.

No magical ladyparts here either. No need to discuss.

I'm headed home! Well, we will be off to the airport in about an hour and then HOME!

I'm glad I stayed a couple of extra days, regardless of the snow. My dad is getting older, though he isn't showing any signs of slowing down. We have a much better relationship than we did even a few years ago, so it is nice to just spend time together. There has been a lot of politics discussed, between the caucus the other day and last night's town hall. Both he and his wife are for Hillary, but they gobble up every bit of politics and discuss every nuance. If I had staunchly different views, it would likely be uncomfortable. Thankfully it is more informative instead.

my ladyparts are not magical

To be clear, I use that phrase as hyperbole.

AS FAR AS YOU KNOW.
