Staples out! (Again!)

-
I got my staples removed today. No more appointments until the followup next month.

One of the firemen even gave SYS a couple.of stickers.

I have had worse flues, so I feel as if vaccines are only partially effective for me. In any case, the family will be staying home for a while and life is put on pause again. At least I can work from home, if I don't get bothered by the kids that much..
