So sorry to hear the new tribulations Grace and Noah are being hit with, Kat. Here's hoping for the best possible outcomes and speediest recoveries.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Kat, I am so sorry for the risks that are coming up for you and the family. I really hope for the best for all of you.

Oh, Kat. My thoughts and love is with you and Noah and Grace. I'm so sorry that life is dogpiling on you guys so horribly.

Noah's surgery is not a huge deal. Routine for micro preemies. It's only a big deal in that the onset of the retinopathy has been so late.
I feel like the future for Noah and Grace is like a Wally Lamb book.
But, again, whatever. There's really nothing I can do about it.

Yup. Been thinking about you, Kat. I know it's tough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In news about me, is there any good way to say to one's boss, "You know, I can only focus on so many things at one time!!" I think the real problem right now is that the number of things I can focus on is approaching zero, but still.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Delicious grilled panini sandwich for lunch. Yummers.
I have been informed this morning by sundry strangers that I am a) working that corset b) rocking that corset c) sexy. Which probably means I'm not appropriately dressed for work. Ooops.

yes. ask her to prioritize what in her mind is urgent and important, not just urgent.

I used to have this issue a lot when I started my last job. I had to keep sitting my boss at the time down and have him prioritize tasks for me. And, to some extent, I just had to get used to those priorities changing on a dime and having to do many different things at once.
