I ordered breakfast delivery this morning, which seems ridiculously indulgent to me, but fuck 2020 so it was worth it. I had a bagel sandwich with an egg, avocado, cheese, and sausage and a soy chai latte.
Oh, that sounds great.
Steph, I'm really pleased with your report on that appointment, it sounds like the nurse was really on the ball. Did you get a form signed by your dad allowing you to consult independently with his physicians? Because I found that super-helpful, and even without it I was able to call my folks' doctors and report on what was really going on. Both my parents were unable to remember to tell the doctors everything so that was really helpful.
He lives in an apartment, so yard is not an issue.
Ah, I mentioned that as a potential way to sneakily get a male person introduced into your dad's life. I know some men are more willing to accept another man as a confidant/buddy into their lives and not see it as a nurse/caregiver situation.
Some friends had a younger man go play dominoes with their dad as an intro to then being the person who drove him places and did some of his errands with/for him.

I didn't think about that, but I should definitely do that. Thanks!
The timesheet saga continues - I decided the only way out is through and I might as well take control. I am ignoring the "working document" nonsense. It will come back up if I FUBAR in some way.
I sent this to co-worker her asst just now and I let Big Boss know that I was sending it to said co-worker.
As discussed, attached is my draft of (BB)'s timesheet for 7/1/2020 – 9/11/2020. Please make adjustments and send to (BB) for her approval and signature, then I will send to (originator) before the Friday deadline.
The work descriptions from 7/1/2020 – 9/4/2020 were what (BB) provided on the composite time-sheets I have already submitted to (Dept) on behalf of (our dept). I do not have that information for the days after 9/4/2020, but included some of the ongoing COVID work that (BB) does every week.
Please feel free to reach out to me if anything is not clear. I have let (BB) know that this is the process we will be following for the time being.
Thank you,
Do you SEE how I am trying to model good behavior with the "reach out to me if this is not clear" and how I am CYA with the "as we discussed" and "I have let her know" and the "what she previously provided".
msbelle, you get a gold star ... and my permission to drink yourself into a less aggravated state of mind
Well done, msbelle.
I had tech for a show yesterday! It's been a while since I've done outdoor theatre or had the entire lighting rig for a show in my car. We're performing in 9 city parks but our two days of tech/dress are in the back lot of the scene shop. When we did a full run in the evening folks from the factory next door were watching from their loading door and a Metra train went by reeealy slowly because the driver was listening.
Wearing a mask and a cap all day left me with the strangest little spots of sunburn on my cheekbones right next to my hairline. Oops. Gotta remember the sunscreen today.
Toddson - I'm actually not aggravated at the moment - I am sitting on my seat of superiority.
well, I guess the booze is superfluous ... but you still get the gold star ... maybe a second for not resorting to swearing or violence
Wheeee! My office is having a virtual happy hour after work, and Big Boss sent everyone gift visas for food & wine so it's more a virtual dinner with drinks after!
I wasn't consciously avoiding eating beef this past weekend to save up my red meat allotment for a steak from a swanky restaurant, but it worked out that way nonetheless.
