I missed Wednesday due to a calamity day use for temps reaching 102F yesterday. My son, however, has AC in his building so he was in school. I had the whole day to
I have many colds/seasonal allergies. A couple suspected strep but no word back from the parents, and alot of general blah due to near 90 degree days all
Honestly, I'm not sure who these people are as far as experience yet. I am concerned about how many of them are already working on med cards and lab videos. The semester starts on Sept. 10, and I...
