Hi Rhonda, So sorry to miss today. I just feel so bad, I'd be useless. I have to get on top of this. I am never sick and this is really hard to take. I thought if I just laid on the couch today maybe the steroids could just work. I'll try tomorrow, we'll see.

I did look up the Jeffco Health Dept info for you last night, Here is what I think you needed. (below)

I really appreciate your time and patience to mentor me for these hours. I'll try to take off another Friday in the next two weeks to make today up and see if you or Vera have anything open. Have a good day! Alison
