> [@gotpasswords](#): > > Anyone got a Geiger counter? The post-scan instructions say DH might set off radiation alarms for the next 24 hours or so. :eek: My DH owns one, but I suspect we’re not in practical range of you. **Anaamika** , congrats on the grades and the car, which sounds nice. Either I’m confused or the nice people at McD’s are (or both). I ordered, among other food, a cherry pielet. Got my food home, pulled an apple pielet out, or so the box claimed. NBD, apple’s good too. Opened the box to retrieve the pastry, and it really was cherry. Either they were out of cherry pie boxes or someone just got confused when packaging. Not getting enough sleep lately (I’m a chronic insomniac), and tomorrow’s rush-rush-rush. Volunteer stuff, getting DH to work, more volunteering, gotta feed the car sometime, going to have an indignant cat when I finally get home tomorrow evening, since her evening serving of canned gunk will be later than Her Majesty is accustomed to. Melatonin, you can feel totally free to kick in HARD any time you like. Congratulations, sympathy, hugs, chocolate goodies, etc. to all as needed or desired. ---

Good morning! I decided McD’s would make my breakfast this morning, just because. Chickie biscuit meal. Yay! 😃 We drove in separate cars today because \*\*FCD \*\*has to go to Jessup for a meeting later this morning. He’ll probably go straight home from the meeting, since home is between here and Jessup, leaving me to come home on my own when I want to. Shall I be a slacker today?? I don’t know if I have time to slack. That’s all I’ve got - it’s too early for much more. Happy Thursday!!! ---

A couple of the days it only covered PART of the driveway. Sunday was the heaviest day, as I was driving around I saw couple people clearing the snow not with shovels but with leaf blowers. now there’s a nor’easter coming we should get anywhere between 0 and 3 inches but Boston is supposed get something like a foot & 1/2. I want a good snowstorm! ☹ ---

Morning all. I dry swallowed some pills in the middle of the night and it still feels like they are stuck in my throat. Bleh. I am actually looking forward to going to the dentist today. I haven’t been in over ten years but my TMJ is bothering me SO badly that it has pushed me to go and start the process for getting some sort of relief. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Not. ---

No worries on the radiation now. The tracer’s half-life is under two hours, so now, there’s about 1/512[sup]th[/sup] of the original dose left. AIUI, the actual “radiation” treatments are really more like strong X-rays rather than ionizing radioactivity. ---
