Condolences, Jessica, on your grandmother's passing. I'm sorry about missing eaglefest, and about your employer's questionable judgement. Wishing you best of luck on the new job and grad school.
Kat, wish I had a big metaphorical sword to give you to face that gorgon. May all be less formidable than it seems from here.
meara, I can't ever do cough drops as I'm violently allergic to menthol and eucalyptus. Our local Haggen has a wall o' candy, where I find lemon drops tart enough that they help with sore throats and coughs, at least a little bit.
Is there a way for your kids to go to Eaglefest without you and Ethan? Could someone else take them?
The funeral is in a different state, and we don't have any close local friends because we suck at meeting people.
If I look at this weekend straight on, I feel like I'm facing a gorgon.
That is a lot. I hope Grace gives you a break, at least!
Yikes, Kat, that's an awful lot of Not Good Things. I have no real advice, except to maybe meditate/drink heavily over the weekend, and hope Grace is feeling better when you get back?

Mentho-lyptus makes me sick to my stomach as well. I find Wild Cherry Lifesavers soothe my throat a bit.
Kat, mucho-ma, in all it's many & varied forms, to deal with that crapton of stuff you're dealing with.
I am so sorry Jessica That is a lot
It is also a lot for Kat. I was mad on your behalf about the obit, but didn't want to say something in a public lost that your family might be on.
I had emergency dental work today because one of my teeth fell apart. The dental urgent care was pretty great. I got the clean out the infection and put in a temp filling which was free. I have to call general dentistry to host a root canal and crown. We get a 10% discount at the dental center or the faculty group, plus insurance pAys 80% so hopefully this won't be too bad.
My condolences, Jessica. Even when they're in their 90s and lived a good life before passing, it doesn't make the ache of missing them any less.
Ugh, Jessica. I'm sorry for your loss, and all of the subsequent changing of plans. I hope the new job will allow you to regain a more solid footing.
Kat, it's a whole pile of ridiculousness for you.

Me too. I wasn't going to bring it up unless you opened the door. It's bullshit.
Sorry, Sophia. Dental work is just not fun.
fuck, y'all.(another fragment to show punctuation is important)
wish I had something more eloquent to say, but that is all such a lot. So sorry.
