Hopefully you pull through! You live in Oregon or Maine?

That's rough. If you gargle some bleach it'll just go away. I know, the president endorses it. Rolleyes

Seriously, I'm hoping for the best for you both! Instead of good luck, I'll say "good medicine!"  Great

I think I'll stick to gin for medical needs.

Yuch. I can't stand the stuff, so you can have all that I will never drink. Are you a Samuel Pepys fan? Wasn't it Pepys who said to cure a cold, drink gin until everything is double, then get under a bunch of blankets? I know I murdered that paraphrase.  Panic

I've ordered two masks from Etsy and they're both on their way:

(And, yes, I chose the white MASH mask over one in olive drab because A, the white one was cheaper by $5, and B, it's actually closer to what they wore in the OR scenes though without those huge-ass ties)

Also, this week in the Deep Hurting Project will be Trolland, Asylum's answer to Dreamworks' Trolls.

Confirmed today.

My bike is for sale and my apartment is on the market.

My house is in trust to go to my niece when she's old enough.
