Was driving home--only 10 minutes after leaving--when I got a call that I have Strep. Early birthday present--bacteria and antibiotics! My SiL, (a nurse--lives in NM) and I share a birthday today--we texted each other this morning and it turns out she is home quarantined and sick, too, having been exposed to Covid (for the umpteenth time). A real banner day for the birthday girls. Lol<br /><br />On a side note--my London born maternal grandmother's maiden name was Clark (born 1877). :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-43461785415509465562021-12-09T11:18:58.485+00:002021-12-09T11:18:58.485+00:00LOL - they do rather, don't they.
