Experience suggests that everyone else was also crying discreetly and likely did not notice.

My head-wound was hurting and I took Ibuprofen and thought, "Well, that will help."

But it didn't help enough. And it took me two hours to remember their main advisory: Ice it.

Which helped.

This is why the patient shouldn't have to look after themself.

I’m glad Sweeney Todd was good.

I’m holding off on my COVID and flu shots for a couple more weeks. I figure I should ride the post-COVID immunity a little longer and get the most effective versions of the flu vaccine. I understand that tends to get fine tuned a bit over autumn.

Joining those doing things that interest them, I signed up for a presentation from my local art museum on the Etruscans. They’re less well known than the classical Romans, but what I’ve heard sounds neat.

Now I want a fancy sandwich. My favorite bahn mi place let me down last time, so I’m not sure if I’ll realize that desire today.

This is why the patient shouldn't have to look after themself.

I hope the wound is better this morning and that you were able to get some rest.

Hadestown is phenomenal, and makes me cry every time (ok, twice, because Broadway is expensive, but still impressive for a story so thoroughly spoiled that the narrator reminds you that you already know the ending in the opening number).

How was the new Persephone?

They were great. We had an understudy for Euridicye and they were also great. I was least interested in Orpheus, which may be baked into the show, but that's a hard part to sing.

Ooh, I am fascinated by the Etruscans! Good one, Calli!

I submitted my time card and saw that my vacation pay out was, uh, paid. I feel like actually getting out of bed and doing work is unnecessary at this point. It’s not, but it feels like it should be.

Healing to David.

Low reactions to all getting shots. I’m going to get my shots later this month.

I’m currently on the train for my friend’s memorial. 2 months since she passed.

Work remains a cluster. Boss is now on admin leave and there is going to be an outside investigation into allegations of a hostile workplace and unethical practices. Giant poop show.

Ugh, msbelle. I hope the investigation yields some positive changes. May the memorial be comforting.

{{msbelle}} I hope the memorial is good

Dang on the workplace! At least something is being done, I guess.

I have thrown on a caftan and logged on to work AND my arm isn't even sore from the flu shot so my day is better than expected so far!
