alicevangelineOther Things that aren't Things:
* Spent some time in the good old (?) Emergency Room on saturday for Dan who had one of those worrying headaches and dizziness. Vitals, catscan, testsare ok, so most likely a migraine, but that would be new to him (although hes probably had them before and attributed to other things). Most everyone else was there for ski incident (or slipping on ice) including a very vocal lady with a broken rib next to us who reminded me uncomfortably of my mom.
* Liz genetic report says the antidepressant she's on is a) less likely to be effective and b) more likely to have side effects, so we'll be making a change. That should help a lot. Meanwhile her lung test (because she gets short of breath) said minimal obstruction in her airways, so I was googling 'does minimal mean none to speak of, or does it mean mild but present' and anyway since a few folks have mentioned her tonsils, wondering if that would be An Obstruction. But who knows. She was pissed that it's one appointment after another.
* Ty's career counselor meeting on friday went okay - he was losing patience because she was glitchy, but we have concepts of a plan for beyond May: a Very Part Time internship this summer, and return to landmark in fall, aiming for an associates degree (which is a great use of 2 years at college).
* We did are putting one foot in front of the other re: future plans for the house by making the recommended repairs - because even if we don't sell, we should fix that stuff - so I got new light fixtures to replace the glitchy ones and dan put those up yesterday; also got some kilz paint to repaint the bathroom wall that has little mold spots and 18 paint cards to try to match colors (or choose a new one).
* talked to brother about his upcoming 3 weeks of solo-working-dad and if he thinks he needs help. I'm staying put for now but he'll call as needed.
