Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

1.  Well, the public health district called me about my parasites—turns out giardia has to be reported when diagnosed.  So I’m sitting in my office about two feet from my colleagues and they’re asking me all these questions about my symptoms…very pleasant.  Now they also want my mother (remember she was in the ER?) and Owen tested also.  Very pleasant….

3.  Debbie left today—we were all sad to see her go.  She was really great and spent a lot of time with my folks.  Having someone else here makes me realize how my father is changing.
