Ugh, Sara, I'm sorry you're dealing that.

Recruiters tell me that number of pages isn't really a big deal anymore and generally more is better.

Recruiters might not care but hiring managers might. I know I don't want to see a list of all the tasks you ever did at every job you had for the last 20 years when I'm trying to figure out if you'll be a good fit for my team.

Much sympathies to Buffistas going through rough stuff, health-wise and otherwise.

Speaking of health, Rosemary is still recovering from heart valve replacement, though not as quickly as her doctors liked so they called her back in for more tests... and found that she had, seriously a gallon of fluid around her lungs. Happily, it's actually not a big deal to drain that, which is how they measured it to nearly a gallon!!!

She says that she's surprised to be feeling much better now.

I bet she feels better not having all that fluid in her.

I like my Honda Fit. Well except for the underpowered A/C.

At work we have to put in any time off requests 3 weeks in advance. Which I've done. Except my requests are sitting there not looked at so not approved. I've asked my supervisor and my assistant manager and ninth have assured me they will do it and no one has. It's annoying.

Especially because the bulk of it has to be used by Sept 29. Which seems like a long way away until you have to put in requests 3 weeks in advance and then it isn't.

Ooooh, healthy vibes for everyone.

In the health roll call... I'm two weeks into PT for my ankle and I had a cast taken to get a Richie brace. I'm so ready to be done with the boot, but the turnaround time for the brace is sloooow. PT is helping. Gradually.

One positive side effect is that my migraines have all but stopped (until this week) either due to the anti-inflammatory I'm taking or the fact that alcohol is contra-indicated with the med. I guess I'll have to figure that out eventually. I'm blaming this week on allergies plus yo-yo weather. This migraine started on the left side of my head Tuesday, kept me home from work Wednesday, faded a little Thursday, then shifted to the right side of my head. Limiting screen time and not reading is so very boring.

Survived evening shift. Of course my hand flared up. Now to see when I can fall asleep. It's boring as hell, but you have to pay attention & that means I need to wind down.

Is it wrong of me to hope that out of this medical suckiness, I get a drs orders out of grave shifts? (For: right now, all shift work is short term, we sign up, so pretty voluntary. Come 2021, gonna be 24/7, so it'll be routine. I want to never run a week of grave.)

Sorry about the grave yard shift work. I know I would suck at that. I am nodding off around 9!

DH's grandmother found the RA diet very helpful for her joint issues, but only did it when she got bad because grandpa insisted on eating icky stuff like kidney pie and fish and chips. She would follow the diet until she was mobile again then go back to eating her British staples diet so she wouldn't have to cook separate meals for them. I've tried to get DH to try it because he knows how it worked for her, and yet he eats fried chicken and drinks tons of diet mountain dew. Oh well. I'm not the boss of him!

In yet another moment of polls being meaningless, Prime Minister Scott Morrison defied the predictions and won the Australian elections. Seriously, every time I see polls and predictions I grumble. False hope is all they represent to me.

Does anyone here wear a medium LLR Amelia dress? I have some I am getting rid of and I'd be happy to let them go for $5 each plus shipping.
