Critters!
So school is out, and life has been steady and quiet, thankfully. Dean took a week off, and the only place we went was a cabin in Fredericksberg for two days. I wish I'd gotten pics, as there was a herd of sheep that lived on the property. Sheep? Pushy critters, not too bright, love tortilla chips, but the lambs are adorable ( Read more... ) -
People are just so kind sometimes. :)
So I went back to school today. Everyone was incredibly sweet, and no one was miffy at all that we had to cancel concerts. Most of all, the kids were utterly understanding. They all just wanted to know if I was still contagious, and could they hug me? That was more important than when we'd reschedule the concerts, in their opinion. Then...end of ( Read more... ) -
Regained a few hit points, I think!
I know, I'm a late in life geek, but hey, hit points! With the funny for the win! Seriously, After two days of antibiotics, I feel about 50% better. Most of the time the pain ranged from mild annoyance to distinctly annoying, but I no longer wish to claw my own throat out. The pain meds were a godsend, but the antibiotics are clearly working very ( Read more... ) -
Heh. This is new.
Years ago, I was told that one cannot come down with strep if one does not have tonsils. I had my tonsils removed at the age of four, and lo, I have never had strep ( Read more... ) -
Help and advice?
Well, I've discovered a new diet! It's called 'throat feels like someone is sticking daggers in it, and I can barely drink water let alone eat." If I were more awake, I'd find a way to smoosh that into something comically bad Latin. Infer the comedy on your own, please. ;) Seriously, does anyone have even a temporary remedy for intensely sore ( Read more... ) -
I can has breathing? How about tea?
Pneumonia. I has it still.
Bah.
I work, I sleep. I sleep more. I sleep yet more. I work. Wash, rinse, repeat. Add a bit of coughing for spice.
On the otter hand, I made some iced tea with a tin of tea from Herrod's that quizcustodet brought me from England ages ago. Sadly, it got buried in the pantry stuff when we moved, but I have found it and -joy-. This ( Read more... ) -
Siiiiick
Heya folks. Nothing much new in the way of events here abouts. Unfortunately, I'm pretty well down and out sick. About three weeks ago I came down with the flu. Nope, not the flu that the flu shot covers, but some other strain. Whee. So I spent most of a week at home with that, using up the remaining time off I had. I started to feel a little ( Read more... ) -
Peace on Earth
Maybe not universally, but in my little corner? Thank all that's holy and little green apples, yes. The last three days have been spent in non-stop manual labor...moving Grandma into her apartment and getting it all set up. We filled two dumpsters by the end of it, took 40 boxes out of storage, put half of those back -into- storage, and finally ( Read more... ) -
School supplies
I just read an article on the Austin news website about how teachers often spend $200 to $800 a year on average on school supplies for their classroom. Well, yeah, I knew that. The article included information about how our tax break (a whopping $250) that we used to get for supplies on yearly taxes has expired. Earlier today I was buying supplies ( Read more... )
