Since I was feeling like I’d been hit by a Mac truck Sunday and Monday, I decided not to wait and see if my regular doctor could squeeze me in, since an Express Care opened not too far from our house. Which ultimately took longer than if I had waited to go see my regular…
There are still 6-1/2 weeks until the first trimester ends for Princess Nagger’s 3rd grade class (less than 1/3 of the way into the school year).
