BevDog! Excellent call on the ginger ale. I had forgotten I had some. That was lovely.

Bed with an alarm set for meds. Non 12-hour meds are a nightmare.

Oh msbelle, that sucks. And being in an ER all night by yourself sucks even more, on top of that! Yikes!!

My doggo got groomed this afternoon and I went to the store and then took a nap. But now I'm drinking a coke and feeling a bit better (or just more caffeinated and sugared?) and he's all fluffy!

Feel better, msbelle.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

I hope to meet up with some neighbors in our apartment complex parking lot for some socially distanced pumpkin carving on Sunday.

msbelle I hope that you start feeling better soon.

I'm glad, msbelle. Hope you feel better soon.

My ballot officially exists! I have to just mark and submit it now. Kinda excited and was scared I wouldn't get to here.

I have also conversed with WaPo about my difficulties in voting. So telling truths and also voting.

And you got a pen! I never got an I voted pen.

I want an I Voted pen a lot. NGL. I would use that pen every single time a person watched me writing. See this? I am using a pen that says, hey, I voted. Cause it matters.

I shouldn't complain when that gets amplified, I guess.

I slowly made myself indispensable and it was dumb because I love my clinic but sometimes working there is intolerable. So I'm working harder than usual to make anyone aware of what I do and make sure there is cross training. There is a hospital manager 2 position at a huge national vet available and I kinda want it. I could demand people be competent and get paid a lot more. Both are motivating.

Basically look at what you need to get out a situation for it to be a good work environment and see what needs to happen to work towards that goal.

I love the things I do for military families but I fix or try to eventually fix so many fuck ups that it's demoralizing. I didn't do anything wrong but I have to explain it and then maybe explain why the kid's puppy won't be going with them to another country for usually six months.

I wanted a lazy day. Maybe Saturday.

Oh, me too. My BF is onboard. My weekend better be snuggles, good NASCARing, whiskey and delicious food. With dog outings interspersed.

and had a wee cough. And because this is 2020, I was like "Probably not a heart attack but maybe Covid???"

Why isn't he isolated and quickly testing? No issue with Tim but that's how this should be handled from the outset. A single symptom, no symptom, isolate and and test.

Found out yesterday that if I test for any reason (including that vaguely weird thing called Public Health), I am out until I get a negative result.

In some coded discussion, I agreed that I would absolutely notify and isolate upon symptoms even if I thought they were not related to Covid. And if I, as a civilian, had health screenings, he is not privy to any tests or results that don't have a public health need to disclose. Fun Times.

I report symptoms I have or testing for symptoms, and I'm taking that leave.

But being a responsible human, we should test regularly.

Fever still not broke. On clear liquids. SO hungry, but everything sounds awful and I know would not cooperate with my innerds at the moment. So water, broth and tea.

I just checked the ballot tracker, and my ballot has been counted!

Yikes the "I can't go in" part sucks so bad--especially because when someone isn't feeling well and stressed out in the ER it's extra important to have someone else with you!!

It's really important, as a human, to be with our people who are ill or not feeling well. Absolutely 100% agree with and support that we cannot do that not but everyone could just wear a fucking facemask and we'd be in a different place.

Now that I am back in Florida I can swim daily again

I need to word this in a way that gets me flown into Florida to just swim every day and hangout with friends before eating fresh seafood and zapping me home. Or that nice hotel nearby. That place was good.

Just supporting you in kinda email as much as possible

I am an advocate for breakfast pie. Also? fried fruit-filled hand pies, crust sprinkled with whatever spices go with the fruit. Apple=cinnamon, peach=ginger, cherry=a little anise and cardamom, etc.

I made lunch mini pies the other day - apple with brie and ginger, and fig with goat cheese and proscuitto.

I definitely support pie for breakfast. Mom baked me a pumpkin pie for my birthday and I made almost as many breakfasts from it as desserts.

Oh no, msbelle. Feel better soon.
