In reality, nurses are the most trusted people. However, I have discovered through my job, they have never learned to minimize windows on a browser. Or possibly use the internet

I have accomplished multiple things today and have rewarded myself with potato chips.

I am in my Vegas room, on the free wifi, and spending more on the room is a good idea. First class on the plane doesn't make much difference in a one-hour flight. And I made three bucks at the slots in the airport. And I bought some sparkly reading glasses I didn't need. More at Facebook.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is snowing AGAIN. Good grief, Seattle!! This is not right!! (Ok it's kinda pretty to watch but...)

My mother is on her way to Seattle on Wednesday, and she is not that excited about your weather!

Where are you staying, Connie?

Where are you staying, Connie?

Golden Nugget. I was here last year, I think I'll go back to Paris next year.

In things that have been occupying my headspace, my boss is still mostly out this week.

She & her husband became empty nesters just this fall. And in a day, everything changed & logistics on top of grief. But as she said, they'll figure it out because it isn't the worst of it; that already happened. 2 of the kids are moving in with them. The 3rd, finding them housing solutions so they can finish hs this semester at home school. One of the kids is an adult, but won't be able to live independently for a while.

It's just a lot. And all I can really do is redirect work stuff. I'm not her deputy, but I'm pushier than ours. So I've been telling him & everyone else to delegate or decide, here's my recc, don't bother her with this piddly shit. I'll take ownership & blame.

ETA: this situation also just hits me in some soft spots emotionally.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

You're a fine human being, sarameg, and I'd count myself lucky to have you for a colleague.

Our wings are not tired.

It is a lot, sarameg. Taking on the responsibility is huge.

I'm supposed to go to Vegas mid March. Visiting my friend who moved there. She'll want us to stay with her, and we can, but I kind of want to stay elsewhere at least a night or two. Really need to make some decisions, but haven't made any reservations yet.
