Got a call from someone at Mom and Dad’s church. Folks with experience in finance are stepping in to help them out. It’s a little like angels coming in.

However, it was Rob's 3 adult female cousins who made the most noise, screaming when he and Mary Linda announced part 2 of their news:

They're expecting a baby!!!


I have been expecting this news, not sure why but have been.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks, DR Jane!  It's what I thought they were going to tell us on September 4 when they told us about the move to Chicago.

Good for them!

Thanks, DR Elmore!  With this news and 2 of your '64 classmates celebrating 50th wedding anniversaries this month I'm beginning to feel old.

We have a dyslexic postal sorter in the 10024 station.  Last night I brought up a package with a big "3C" written in magic marker.  It was a priority mail package, and I kept wondering, what is this? A gift?  The package contained a box of Christmas cards, which I had not ordered.  I checked the label: 230 West 82nd Street, and not my address. Damn!

Now I have to deal with getting this to the proper owner and apologize for opening her mail.

DR Elmore, you're making me nervous about mailing the item to you that I'm getting ready this morning...

I just called the doctor who gave me hip and knee injections in October for the second time in the past week about getting another round.  His assistant sucks at returning calls.

That is very annoying.

She just called me back!  I now need to call my HMO and find out if I need another referral or if the eralier one form October is still good.

Excellent.  Good luck with the referral.

We are home bound today, being in the thick of the Wintry Mix. It looks like we got less than an inch of the white stuff, but it’s sleeting now and they’re calling for freezing rain for most of the day. Most of the public schools in Connecticut are closed.

What’s more, we’re going to be in a deep freeze for a good long while now.

Ugh.  It’s Winter, folks.


Not until Saturday.  Just a very chilly Fall.

DR vixmom and TCB, I hope you both are feeling better today.

Thank you.  I am feeling better today.  I took some Mucinex Night Shift, it seemed to help.

Thank you for the belated birthday wishes, DR TCB.

And no apologies, please. Vibes for Nicky, and take care of yourself while you’re at it. I had my flu shot a week ago, and fortunately no reaction. But I’ve never had anything but a mildly sore arm from them. Knocking wood. Well, actually, knocking the fabric of my recliner.


This is the first time I have had any reaction, so I think it may just be a bug of some kind.

My barber is booked tomorrow morning, so we have a date for Friday.


Maybe while you are on your date, you can get him to cut your hair!

I don't send any package without tracking info!

It makes sense unless you got a different flu vaccinations than normal.

Yes, Richard and I will become grandparents around June 11.  We have known for a couple of months, but, of course, waited until they were ready to spread the news.

Congrats all around, Ginny! :D

Thanks, Jane.  I don't know how long it'll take before they let me know, though.  Hopefully, not too long.
