Interesting, Dana. Hope that works out for you over time.
How aggravating, meara!
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I decided on Friday afternoon to request today off, so I'm enjoying a four-day weekend with few plans and a lot of time to just sit around and read.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Taking the four day weekend as well, with the exception of one call I agreed to take.
I came up to the cabin this weekend to discover that a big tree branch came down and pretty much demolished my dock. It was not in great shape to begin with but I guess now I have to do something about it. And about the tree. It’s very tall, mostly dead, and in a pretty precarious position on a slope right by the channel so that’ll be interesting.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I’m also in the office today. I neglected to do some things Friday so the summer youth workers don’t have logins. Boo bad admin

Oh yikes Brenda. Good luck.
I am having a hard time accomplishing anything today. There’s definitely tasks I should be working on! But…

I had hoped to go home about now using the precedent of going-early-the-day-before-a-holiday that has always held but there is too much to do. Dang it.

So sorry about the deck and the tree, brenda!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If I started work at 6:30, I can log off now, right?

I certainly hope so! I would say so even in my timezone.

Thrive to spite them
I had therapy today and then took the long way home and went to see Mom and had lunch with her. At the yummy New Mexican Place that was super busy because it's really good but also most restaurants are closed on Monday in Brevard so there are limited options.
Tomorrow M's mom invited people over but most aren't coming so it will be the 3 of us, his cousin and her daughter, a family friend or two, and maybe Mom for burgers and root beer floats.
Got an update about my aunt. They are inserting a feeding tube and when I was with Mom the palliative care nurse called and talked to mom about my aunt's prognosis (not good) and options. Right now Mom is going to give the feeding tube a few days and see if there is improvement and if there isn't then the decision will probably be made for making her comfortable as possible and hospice. My aunt isn't really responding to anyone right now and is mostly sleeping so I guess that's good.
Mom kept saying that last week my aunt was doing her rehab and seemed to be determined to do well and then it just suddenly went downhill. But my aunt had been really constipated and I'm wondering now if part of it was dehydration (since she isn't known for drinking water) and then she ended up having the opposite issue and getting really dehydrated. And then the UTI and then Covid and then it snowballed from there.
I have a feeling I'll be going with Mom to Florida this weekend or next week.
