Betsy, I hope your eye issues get resoloved quickly and well. Sorry I didn't say so earlier.
Amazing pictures, Laura.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Shrift, in a minor bit of better news, I have mailed your glam music to you. Should be there in a couple days.

After a wild-eyed appeal to my boss, he went off to tell Big Boss that our department will NOT be attending the retreat tomorrow, at least in the morning, in order to deal with the network issues.
I am happy to trade four hours of sitting at my desk visibly working like a demon for four less hours of PowerPoint and Skits with Props.

Skits with Props.
Despite knowing better, I find myself having to ask what kind of props?

Note to self: Reconsider storing bottle of naproxen on desk next to similarly-colored and shaped bottle of white-out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've just committed a huge familial faux pas. I have no words. Blaming it on concussion and being stunned at the gossip won't cover it. I've just named the elephant in the room we've been ignoring for years. Nothing good can come of it. I want to throw up. And it's not just the concussion talking.

I do not know, as we have not yet had the annual meeting. But I saw a coworker walking around with a prop stop sign, and I imagine they have more props where that came from.

Oh, ita. I've totally been the blurter of the elephant before (helpful hint: when a family member's spouse is rambling on about his ex-wife, it isn't a good idea to ask, "Which one?" at Thanksgiving dinner), yet I have no helpful suggestions.
