Oh Sheryl, you and Gary must be so exhausted. I do hope you can come up with a more effective plan soon for all of you.

I am excited. On the local Otter Lake FB group there were several pictures from various days of a MOOSE on Lakeview Road, which is the road my sister lives on and I drive every day. The pictures were all early morning and I drive to pick her up every day at 6:30 AM and drive her back around 7:45 so I have digits crossed that we will see him!! (the time we go to the gym, Mona pays the dues and I drive every day so she has more wake up time)

Moose alert! This is not a drill!

'Tis another grey day in San Francisco, and once again everybody is moving at the speed of slug. As soon as I scootch Matilda out the door I have to move the car out of the garage so they can begin working. Then I'll get my run in.

Reading: Just finished Ducks by Kate Beaton. Currently reading the first Termaire book, His Majesty's Dragon, and Ripley's Game.

Watching: Paper Girls (it's really good! I don't know why more people aren't watching it), Puppycat and Bee, Hacks, What We Do In the Shadows.

To be Watched: A League of Their Own, Reservation Dogs, about eighty other things. Oh, I have been taking advantage of my Criterion Channel and watched Godard's "Masculin / Feminin" and Original Cast Album (the Sondheim doc by Pennebaker).

Ooooh, a moose! When I drove the Lake Superior north shore in 2007 I saw moose warning signs all over the place, but never a moose. I hope you see him (from a safe distance)!

Thanks for the update, Epic.

I heard from the lawyer. The hearing and deposition are canceled. Workers comp has agreed to pay for the ER visit they originally refused and they are sending the information they used to determine the full payments so the lawyer can determine if they were fair. I have to email my pay stubs to the lawyer sinfe i started back to work. Also i am on a cancelation list for the neuro opthomlogist but that appointment is still Dec 6.

That's also the next dr I'll see. I'm not clear why I am not going to see a different neurologist, the call was speaker phone and I hate having to focus with those. But I'm going to ask for clarification in an email. According to the lawyer I'll keep working 12 hours/week until I see the neuro opthomlogist.

I had another weird memory thing the other day. Minor really but a situation where I had to really think about information I should have known and then took me a bit to totally process it.

No settlement info because they can't do that until after the neuro opthomlogist visit at the very earliest.

Progress and I don't have to go to a hearing which I guess makes sense that they would figure this all out before it got to that point

I realized I'm kind of in a panic over only working 12 hours a week and I feel like I need to figure out a way to be able to work more hours because if I don't then...something bad will happen....except I could look at it as-- wow I can work part time for the rest of this year and working part time is something I never thought would be possible.

I mean, I'm slightly worried it will be Dec 6th and I'll hear I have to see another doctor to get cleared to go back to work but that is different than feeling like I'm doing something wrong by only being cleared to work 12 hours

Progress! Make sure to write down a list of any related symptoms or issues to give to the doctor.

OMG has anyone seen my motivation? I have just unable to get myself into a productive mode today.

Hi ND—I might have borrowed it this morning but it just ran out so sorry! Not sure how to refill the tank!

Poor Brendon. This has been the worst visit to NY for him. Was supposed to be a week or two at most. Then major software issue to deal with, then Covid, then Covid rebound, now a hurricane that will travel up the I-95 route for the next 5 days or so. So 7 weeks now, and no idea when he can leave. Considering flying him down in a couple days so he can deal with stuff but he wouldn't have his truck. Life be complex. But he is negative again!
