Ice Skating and Orbital Cellulitis

 Julia's semester is in full swing, with classes and TA-ing. Benjamin and Jules went ice skating outside; the ice is amazingly smooth. It looks like so much fun. Julia has a real greenhouse going in her apartment. She even ordered a special heat lamp for all of her new plant babies. And no matter the weather, she's still drinking iced coffee every day. 

Back on the home front, Steven's eye infection went from bad to worse, from urgent care visit, to the ER, then following up with a Zoom video call with a PA. The infection wasn't responding to the first round of prescriptions. And though he hated to go to the ER, it was absolutely necessary to ensure via CT scan that the infection hadn't spread to behind his eyeball. They put him on 2 stronger, more broad-based antibiotics and new eye ointment. It is still not back to normal, but everyday it looks slightly better. He's lucky that 99% of his work calls are without video! :)
