Maria, my recollection was that the subQ fluid bags and needles were in the 15-20 dollars a bag range. But that's based on memory and not checking receipts, so take it with a grain of salt.

And my morning worked out perfectly!

Hooray!

Two more hours of work and then 11 days off. Ish. I do have a couple of time sensitive things I need to do next week, but those should be done on Tuesday. OMG, I shall sleep, and read, and craft, and play music, and clean the house (ok, not as fun as the rest, but whatever), and do my nails, and put my bra on only when I really want to.

Ooh 11 days off sounds magical. I'm feeling pretty good about my current 4, especially since I've only replied to few work emails?

11 days off sounds super nice. Jealous.

I think I'm getting a cold--been drinking tea and hit the Emergen-C yesterday, but boo! Do not want!

Ooh 11 days off sounds magical.

It feels magical. And it hasn't even started yet. I love the people I work with cause the reaction has been "enjoy your well deserved time off".

I'm awaiting ONE report before I can shut down for the day and this guy is notorious for being late. I've told him I'm offline at 2:30 today and will not be near my laptop after that (a lie, but I'm not doing the late night Friday hustle today).

That does sound great.

I've got another 1:15 to work, and then I have two days off. But next weekend will be a three-day weekend, and the one after that 6, so that'll be nice.

Hey, Suzi, is Broomfield, CO actually Denver?

It is just north of Denver. Tis a suburb.

I had a productive morning. Went to the eye doctor for a follow-up--all's well--and while in the waiting room got a call from a lawyer in Pennsylvania about paperwork details for the gas lease. Apparently my grandfather's heirs are a point of frustration for the energy company that has the lease, as there are so many of them in so many places, and it's hard to get in contact with all of them (my father's two sisters had 15 children between them, and those also have had a lackadaisical approach to birth control). The lawyer made an unhappy noise when I mentioned that I wasn't sure if my late sister's husband had gone back to Brazil or not. I told him my other sister would know.

For some reason, even though Daddy was the youngest, he is apparently primary heir (yay, primogeniture?), which make Linda and me the candidates for official executors of our grandfather's estate--at least in this matter. Whee, I'm an heiress to lands in the old country! At least until I notarize and return the documents that make Linda the sole executor, which is the only rational step, as executors have to appear in court, and I don't think my bosses would be happy if I told them I had to pop back East for a couple of days to appear in a county probate court.

Also, despite my personal knowledge that Mother and Daddy had wills drawn up--I held them in my hands--there is no record of such wills. I wonder if they never bothered to file them properly. No wonder he sounded frazzled, this is a case with property deeds going back a hundred years. 1913 sounds so recent, but not when you think of how much paperwork has to be sorted through.

I would have loved to talk to him more about it, but he was busy, and my cell phone is pay as you go. It was funny when he mentioned sending the papers out to me, then he said, "Oh, wait, do you do much with computers?" I did not guffaw loudly and say "Why, yes, I make my living with them, why do you ask?" Given that he's been working with mostly rural people who consider education past high school kind of a waste (I know my relatives), it's not a foregone conclusion that I'd be comfortable with receiving an email of the files. I may be in Utah, but I'm in the tech hub of Utah, not in rural Greene County, Pennsylvania, home of dying coal mines and small farms.

To finish the morning, as I was leaving the doctor's office, LifeFlight went by overhead and made a hard, steep turn to get to the landing pad. I've never seen them come in so hot before, and I can't imagine the angle they were at was comfortable for anybody. I hope they got there in time.

Now to watch RDJ as Sherlock Homes and clean the bedroom.
