Mom's “real” case worker is supposed to be back from vacation today, so I left her a voicemail at 7:50 saying that Nancy was going to make some calls but left work w/o updating me yesterday, and so I'd like to find out where we're at in the process of getting her transferred to the skilled nursing facility closer to my house. Please pray. I'm pretty shaky today.

OK, now it's time to take BK to the pediatrician because he's complaining that his “ear hurts.” Just in time — Lex finished a 10-day course of amoxicillin last night. Oh pink stuff, haunting my refrigerator, begone!
