Hey, hands up if you made a stupid mistake (although only about 80% my fault) resulting in a lot of unnecessary piddly work that you now have to fix!

I feel like that's most days for me.

I'm struggling with the guilt of missing a friend's husband's funeral because it's Easter Monday and I am flying back from visiting family later that afternoon. I looked into changing my flight and it would be more than the ticket originally cost.

I wish you easy fixes and instant relief, Dana

That's hard, Sue, I'm sorry you have to make that call. It's reasonable for you not to change you plans and spend a lot more money, if that validation helps at all.

Thanks -t. I've bought a card, and I'll try to see her sometime soon.

Sucky options suck.

Y'all, not only do I not much like climbing on ladders, I apparently can't stand to watch other people climb them. (Contractor is on the roof.)

I went to Whole Foods last night in search of Matzo Ball Soup (we have a pot luck today and that was what I signed up to bring but I didn't feel like actually making it) which I did not find, but I went on a yogurt buying kick because I thought my poor digestive system might appreciate that, Smari Icelandic yogurt has earned a whole bunch of goodwill with me by putting words on the inside of the cup. Well, inside the label, but readable through the cup. It's like a cereal box, but in your bowl!

My boss and his boss made a change on something and did not inform us and I now have to back out and do over 100 shipments individually. Yay?

We have a meeting in about an hour at the skilled nursing facility where Tim's dad is, with the family and members of his medical team and his care manager, to talk about what the next steps for him are. Tim's dad will be at the meeting -- as he should be, since it's his future we're talking about.

To my knowledge, none of his sons have said to him explicitly that going back home would be unsafe for him and they can't handle taking care of him at home any longer. I wish one of them would have had that difficult conversation before this meeting, because Tim's dad is really going to feel like this is being sprung on him. He's going to feel ganged-up on.

This is not going to be easy. But it has to be done. Gah.

Fortitude.
