As we prepare to send Dylan off to college, I've been noticing all the little routine family things that are happening for the last time (really minor things like "this is the last time I'll have to buy this specific cereal only he eats" at the grocery store).
I described this to the kids at dinner as "I'm having all these Boromir-will-never-eat-scrambled-eggs-again feelings" and received blank stares, which I think proves that this generation is not as Very Online as they think they are SO THERE. #learnyourhistorykids
My firm is remote for the next two weeks and I just took a little twenty minute nap.
Glorious!
I've been making yogurt for the past bit because its protein that works very well for mom. I was just buying it but we kept having a freezer full of little half-pints of milk from her lunch delivery service to contend with. One day the penny dropped...
I was also making almond milk for a while because she was on an iodine restriction and finding a plant-based milk with no salt proved impossible. That was fun. Almond flour, pinch of sugar, pinch of kosher salt, a few drops of vanilla, blend, strain it in a nut milk bag... it tends to separate in a few hours so there's shaking involved but that's no big and you get to snicker like a 12 year old about the nut milk bag (basically a thicker cheese cloth) that I now use to strain the yogurt.
I'm so sorry about your brother, Laura.
I had my annual mammogram this morning and am now in the Schrodinger's boobs stage of waiting to get a message that there's an update for me in MyChart.
And this is what I like to read in MyChart:
Benign finding. Routine Mammography screening in 1 Year is recommended.
No mammographic evidence of malignancy.
