I've gotten the results on the uterine ultrasound, and, hm, well most everything looks fine. It's just that the report twice mentions something that they couldn't quite get a good look at that may or may not have really been there and that they're ruling 'clinically insignificant' without explaining why. I will be seeing the gynecologist tomorrow and asking exactly what that means. If nothing else, my breast cancer experience shows that, just because something can't be seen clearly. doesn't mean it's not there or not important.

Scott and I voted this afternoon. There was no wait at all. I wish more people would turn out for these primaries because they determine the city council. The winner of the Democratic primary almost always runs unopposed or opposed only by an independent candidate. Only about 10% of eligible voters (if that many) turn out for off year primaries.

Scott and Cordelia are out shopping for some things Cordelia needs for camp next week. Scott is convinced that everything she needs can be wedged into one of our small suitcases (we don't have any medium sized suitcases), but I'm not certain that Cordelia will be able to do it unaided. Since they will have daily cabin inspections with the expectation that everything not currently on the child be in the suitcase... Um.

I thought about going with them, but I'm very tired, and Scott doesn't get all that much time with just him and Cordelia.

I didn't get up until about 9:30 this morning. When I got up, I felt like I might actually be starting to get to a better place in terms of resolving my sleep deficit, but I don't know. I lost my oomph mid-afternoon after I got Cordelia's clothes washed and the trash and recycling out and a couple of other every day chores out of the way. I completely lacked the wherewithal to feed myself lunch.

I'm glad you're being proactive about those results!

Oops. For some reason, I thought this was a comment on the other post. I'm going to delete that other response and put it where it belongs.

For what it's worth, this is the last odd-year city primary. The November (2017) general election for city council will be for 3-year terms, not 4-, so the councilcritters will roll off every 2 years starting (continuing) in 2018, 2020, 2022, et seq.

I very much approve of the change. I don't know how much it will help given that the August primary is just at a kind of terrible time of year. I've missed it a couple of times because of last minute family plans-- One time, my sister told me on a Friday that she and her son would be coming to Michigan on Sunday and driving me and Cordelia up to visit our grandmother and stay in a rental cottage that was already paid for.

I didn't realize that I was going to miss that election until we were already in East Tawas.
