felicitations!

A very happy birthday to two delightful women, cynthia1960 and blunaris! Hope you are both having lovely days.

I would have done this earlier, really, but I've been out and about having medical adventures much of the day. And getting into and out of the car repeatedly on a really hot day is just not my idea of a good time. So I'm off to the showers now, and shall post the not-really-very-gory-at-all details later.

the gore-free details

Well, to make a long story short, I have a couple of clogged sweat glands in my armpit. They're pea-sized lumps that hurt like hell. On the plus side, it's not serious and a quick course of antibiotics should clear it right up; of course on the minus side I'm probably going to grow a few more gray hairs after spending the night imagining breast-cancer scenarios. Anyway, I'm on the antibiotics now and hopefully all will be well that ends well.

The other half of our medical adventures today involved taking Isaac to get his blood drawn so it can be re-tested for anemia now that he has been taking iron supplements (mostly) for a couple of months. Needless to say he didn't at all care for the vampirish procedure, but he recovered quickly. Still, he firmly rebuffed the phlebotomist's attempts to make friends with him afterward. ;)

Anyway, that's the report, boring though it may be.
