and they all fell like dominoes

Yup. They're all sick. Cass is on his way to mending, Littlegirl needs to get rid of her fever and bathroom difficulties, and Bear is.just.plain.sick.as.a.dog.

But the whole day wasn't bad. Cass went to the babysitters (a bit tired and cranky, but otherwise okay) and Rosey stayed home to cuddle with her Dada, and I went to work.

(I've been working at an old job I love for three weeks, not the one far far away)
And... they've offered me two more weeks, with the possibility of a third.

Yay me!

My brother is in in-patient rehab tonight, for a 17 day program. My heart aches for my baby brother, who is going through such a hard time and trying so hard to figure out how to begin his life again.
Being three thousand miles away doesn't make me feel helpful, either.

Thank God he's getting the help he needs, and I hope with all my heart that this time he is able to make the lessons he learns there work in his day-to-day existence.

I feel your pain. My house is being ravaged by strep throat.

Peace.

Jess, I know you feel horrible being so far away from your brother. {{{HUGS}}}

Thats great about the job! You must be doing awesome there, but I knew you would!

I hope all goes well for your brother. May he find the strength that he needs.

Also, I hope everyone in your house is well soon and that it leaves you alone.

Whole lot of nothing going on

Last week, I got covid. For the third time, and this one was unpleasant in ways that I don't really want to talk about. (Life tip: NO ...
