Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, OSU.

Yikes, Sara!! It seems good that they figured out the problem ASAP, though -- I remember my mother trying for months to figure out what was wrong when it turned out to be her gallbladder.

And another yikes to msbelle -- whatcha doing at Immigration?

Gallbladders are the worst! Again, let me know if we can do anything for you, sarameg!

I honestly don't mean this to be flip, but à la John Oliver, how are school shootings still a thing?

Surgery~ma, sarameg. You gallstone overachiever.

Immigration~ma, msbelle.

shrift, you should totally work from home tomorrow. Tell them I said so.

I didn't get to bed until 2am and I had a 9am meeting, so I elected to spare my coworkers from my sneezing and nose-blowing. Downside is that I need to go to the grocery store because I've been gone for a week and have no food.

Oi, sarameg. Best to you with that.

My niece is a resident in the ER at OSU - I don't know if she's working today, but I texted my sister/her mother.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

A friend from HS reports that her kid at OSU is safe.

My sister says my niece was in lock down in the MICU, but has been called into the ER to work. She and her husband (also a medical resident) are both safe.

I get to go home today. They don't want to operate on my cold. I need to schedule it for early next week.

Jesse, getting Mac's Certificate of Citizenship which involved going through a citizenship swearing in even though he is already a citizen. But it's over and we have the paper and yay!

OSU horrible. So sad this keeps happening.

Lisa- you need to get video of Sara postop on the good stuff.
