Snow is falling here. Not really sticking yet, hopefully the roads are warm enough to keep it from sticking tonight.

Sophia, they might have a specific term for such a meeting. I think in hospitals they call them morbidity and mortality meetings? Not 100% sure however. I think they focus on what went wrong in those.
Very true--but M&M meetings are even more specific than post-mortem, that would definitely confuse people if that's not what they're doing.
I am so annoyed by our archaic systems at work. They're godawful and ancient and used for way too many things they weren't built for. And I just entered something and the only way to fix ONE WRONG CLICK is to ask IT. My report is due tomorrow but IT takes up to 5 days apparently. Argh.

ooh, sounds super annoying, meara.
I knew that M&M meetings were pretty specific--and that I don't know how precisely the term is used--that's why I said I wasn't sure. But "debriefing" seems fairly all-purpose.

Ugh, my poor student. He's a hemophiliac, and he bashed his knee and it has filled with fluid (blood I assume). He has to go to the emergency room and anticipates missing school tomorrow. I'm just thinking what a gruel it must be for him, every little bonk is potentially life threatening!

Oh wow, that does sound like a pain, poor guy.
My tonsils are so annoying at the moment I am wishing I could give myself a tonsilectomy. They always swell up like crazy whenever I'm sick, so right now my throat doesn't hurt because it's raw, but just because they're all swollen. And I can FEEL them. Which is so gross. And annoying. Almost all my cold symptoms are gone, except this. Blech blech blech.

Oh ick, meara, I hate that feeling.

Thanks. I'm feeling grumpy and lonesome, but not able to go interact with people. And there is not enough internets! Make more internets, people!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sick AND bored? No good.

I just spent almost 2 hours darning up my coat pockets (do you darn nylon?) And reinforcing some stitching on my swimsuit.
Goddamn, that took a long time for maybe 8". I really need to get a sewing machine.

The internet is pretty dead. So dead that I've started the Food For Thought course on edX: [link]
Edit: Which I am enjoying!
