PS Nephews/Godsons are great, but Aidan is still my outstanding gift. He may just be getting a gift card!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tim's pre-mitral valve surgery imaging procedures are this morning, so please cross your fingers that the results give the go-ahead for a simple, minimally invasive procedure.

Our wings are not tired.
Good pictures ~ma for Tim. I know you will be relieved to have this behind you.

Well, Theodosia is a bit to spell. (I knew a Theodosia in HS)
Sounds good, msbelle! I endorse Katie Bee's suggestion on the OTT cover letter to put you in the right frame of mind.

Here's hoping all goes well with Tim's surgery!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
all good thoughts for Tim AND calm-ma to you.
Sophia, what does Aidan do for fun and what is he planning on studying?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Pre-surgery imaging ~ma for Tim!
Well,my org is definitely fast-paced and we're neither disorganized nor inefficient.
Can I come work with you??
msbelle, I would indeed be interested in coordinating on that. I need something to keep me accountable; I'm turning into a sloth. A hermit sloth.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Procedure~ma to Tim.
Zen and msbelle, no set schedule for sleep or doing things was a big problem for me these past few months, and now I'm paying for it. Part of me knows I desperately needed the break, but another part of me knows that I will be a total sloth and hermit if I don't have external factors making me do things. TL;DR? I fully support your desire to have a schedule and if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
Sophia, the (re)fills are always cheaper than a full set. I've been getting mine done since 1992 (!) and even when I didn't have a lot of money, I still got them done because it made me feel good to have pretty hands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Best thoughts for Tim and Steph!!
Pretty sure I have done all of the things including a mandatory security training and dealt with all my outstanding emails. I am SO READY to be on vacation.
Part of me knows I desperately needed the break, but another part of me knows that I will be a total sloth and hermit if I don't have external factors making me do things.
I feel like the advice I've heard recently for college students about to be on break for six weeks is useful here: You definitely need a couple of weeks to relax! But then it's time to have a plan.
