Thank you so m uch for checking in Shir! Always a relief to see yoru pixels

And thank you for the Toddson updates, beekaytee. I wish I had helpful resources.

Gah on the mono and the PITA medical records business, Hec. I hope the great European adventure is only delayed?

I feel super lurky and probably will continue to be until maybe Thanksgiving. Work has become a lot - not bad per se, just intense. Reading when I can and thinking of y'all a lot, though!

I hope the great European adventure is only delayed?

Mono lasts four to six weeks. And we can't begin planning it until we know she's healthy. And by then you're into Thanksgiving. Plus Hannah's already set up her work schedule around this and it's not easily transferrable, and her daughter's college term doesn't align with it either.

So, there may be a European trip but it probably won't happen until after she goes to Japan.

Presuming we can get this form signed and she can go to Japan.

Ugh, David, sending all the deadline ~ma.

I'm so stressed out.

Leaving for the clinic in fifteen minutes. Please, just sign the stupid fucking waiver without any further issues.

At the clinic. Please please please sign the fucking waiver.

been there. not the same, but... Good luck.

Oh, man, I certainly hope that waiver is signed by now. I forgot how good mono is at fucking up schedules for a way too long. Boo.

David that really sucks.

Work was less busy but more asshole customers. We don't have milk. We got bread but only Nature's Own Butter bread. People aren't happy with that.

Lots of people around here are buying locally to donate to WNC. I want to tell them to STOP because we are running low on stuff for local people who don't have power or water. But on the other hand I'm glad people are being generous.

A lady threatened to beat my ass because she thought I cut in line and I didn't "don't test me....I know I was here...I will bear your ass.." I was starving and trying to get food for my break. I got mad and left the came back with a manager and the lady had left and the other customers let me get my food

And I helped the lady twice before that !

There is still a power line down across 276 on my way to work. Most of the traffic lights are out. The mall parking lot has turned into temporary housing for 2000 workers...just for Greenville County they have mobile kitchen , bathrooms etc

Papers signed. Matilda is uploading now.

Bonus: we got there and Matilda said, "I think I should talk."

So she handled the whole thing and there was no issue. Did take an hour though and she needs a follow-up on low iron. Which could be yet another factor in her low energy ways.

Once her forms are uploaded I'll get a link for the deposit and we'll be on to the next stage.

But that should secure her spot in the spring Kyoto program.

Yay for form and Matilda handling her own healthcare!!
