We're heading to Des Moines for Christmas today. Here are the logistics to get us out of town early, get to DM by 8, and not leave a car parked in an unusual spot since we won't be back until Wednesday.

Last night, I put the cargo topper on the vehicle and loaded everything except the wife's suitcase. Hopefully, she remembered to put it in the back of the vehicle this morning. I walked about a mile to a corner the bus travels past to catch a ride to work. The oldest daughter had to go into school early so she had a friend give her a ride. Called into youngest daughter's school to get a pass to leave school an hour early. Since she works at this school, Mrs JCyclonee had to get permission from an assistant principal to leave an hour early. The son didn't want to get up early so he got a ride to the high school from a neighbor. After school, the two oldest need to walk across the street to the school where my wife works and the youngest attends. They should leave that school by about 2:30. When they approach downtown, they will text me that they are near. I will then change into comfortable clothes and meet them on the side of a street. My wife or daughter will then need to switch seats so that I can drive through the early rush hour traffic to get out of town. This is all part of the reason we have the equivalent of a case of beer, 2 bottles of wine and a 1.75 liter bottle of Jameson packed for 2 days in Iowa.

I will definitely be interested to know if it all goes off without a hitch. :D

Pretty sure Velo was referring to him infecting OTHER kids. Who will now have strep for Christmas. Merry Christmas to them.

I know, I meant he will not infect the other kids since I started him on what he did not finish from a week and a half ago and has the three doses already that they say is needed.

Need to head to the airport in 90 minutes or so. I should probably get out of my pajamas and shower and pack a carry on or something. ;)

Okay, that one just doesn't sit well. Antibiotics work best as a full consecutive course of treatment. Stopping early because you feel better, or stopping for a week and then restarting the course is the best way to build drug resistant bugs.

Take the entire dose as prescribed, and only take antibiotics when you have a bacterial infection (NOT viral).

Also, I have been in Minnesota for 20 years and I still call it green bean casserole - not hot dish. I don't hate them for saying hot dish. You shouldn't hate people for being wrong - just pity them.

The thing that absolutely grates on my nerves about speaking Minnesotan is a select number of them who mispronounce the most common contractions. They drop consonants and a syllable in the contractions wouldn't, couldn't and shouldn't. They sound like wount, count and shount. The middle one sounding dangerously close to a word my mom told me I should never say to a girl.

I have started using hot dish. Marrying a Minnesota girl I guess I felt that I needed to concede either hot dish or gray duck and gray duck wasn't happening.

Totally agree, I was not happy when I found a couple days in the bottle. I figured by the time they are a senior they should be able to take them without me setting it out for them. I figured he should have only been off a few days but couldn't remember, that's whey I checked the bottle when he said his throat hurt and Iooked in his throat and could see strep.

I first read "shower"as a noun, and wondered why you would be in pajamas in your shower. Friday is the answer.
