The funeral was really nice. Having to shake the hand of everyone who attended, nsm.
Yeah, that sounds familiar. Glad you're home. Is there any way you can take another day?
Good for you, Laura!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The new sitter is here, and I have a list of things I should be doing. But a nap may win because it's cold and damp today and everything hurts. However, I made 5 onerous phone calls this morning. So still sort of productive.

Our wings are not tired.
5 onerous phone calls absolutely calls for a nap!

5 onerous calls is impressive!
I got tagged for a last minute work trip starting early Wednesday morning. I'm going straight from there to a personal weekend trip. I am now panicking I'm forgetting something I need to do. (So far on the list: get suit drycleaned (happening right now), do laundry, get meds refilled.

Pats on the back and gold stars here. I went to GI doc this morning and made appt for colonoscopy on Tuesday next week. Made appt for breast squishing Monday, and tomorrow I see the cardiologist for a calcium score test. Sent an email to my PCP letting him know that I am a super good girl. The subject for the email was 'All the testing because I listen to my doctor', which will result in him laughing like a loon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's my birthday. To celebrate, I went to the doctor and got poked with two needles. The shots don't seem to be doing anything to stop the migraine, unfortunately, which means that tomorrow I guess I'll go to the ER.
I am obviously rescheduling my birthday. Also, this weekend is my parents' anniversary, and I refuse to be sick for that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Glad you're home, Sue.
Dana I hope you have a happy birthday in the near future.
Things from rehearsal reports that make you go hmm: "Could we please have a couple backup Emancipation Proclamations?"

Is there any way you can take another day?
I think I am going to take tomorrow off.
I have plenty of leave. I have five days of bereavement leave, and I may try to argue to use my family illness leave for taking care of my dad. Fortunately I have a ridiculous amount of vacation, (5 weeks this year and I have 5 more banked) so whatever happens I am fine.

Good, good. One of my staff just had to take off suddenly again for family care, and I'm just glad we get so much vacation. I mean, I'm sure she'd rather do something fun, but at least she's getting paid.

Ugh, Dana. I'm sorry.
Glad you're home and have time off coming to you, Sue.
