Oof, Jesse. That is tough.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Shoot, I meant to throw a hat on as I went out the door because my hair definitely needs cutting and also sparkly fleur-de-lis, but I forgot. Oh well.

There are few places that I wouldn't rather be than in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. I like watching circuses from the nosebleed seats, not within the rings.
That said, I am braving the party crowd at the fine dining place down the street thanks to the chef posting this photo: [link]
meara, your situation reminds me of when a friend's sister confided in me about her affair with another (married) friend of mine, like she expected me to give her a cookie for her achievement. Ugh.

Mardi Gras day is actually kind of mellow, or can be. You've seen 8 zillion parades already and filled a grocery bag with throws, so the pressure is off. Or maybe that's just me since that one year when I got food poisoning in the morning.
ETA mmmm, new employee brought in homemade lumpia for everyone. She's my favorite now.

Happy Mardi Gras, y'all. Raise your hands if you'd rather be in New Orleans today.
I'm putting my hands up. Metaphorically. If I did it literally, I'd probably freak out the dude sitting next to me on the shuttle.

Yeah, totally calmer than the weekend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that's an excellent plan.
Apparently in Haiti they have postponed Carnaval because of the political unrest?

Oh, wow, that is hard to imagine. I heard that Brazil is not cutting back despite zika.

Oy, I have 4 hours of meetings tomorrow (I know that is not a lot for some people but it's an astounding amount for me), one of which is a training I'm giving, and which I scheduled, so I can't even complain that much. But we are getting lunch as part of one of these, so that's something.

OMG, finding a neurologist for my migraines is such a headache, ha ha, see what I did there.
Got an appointment in slightly less than a month for a headache clinic that seems to be the best bet around. Naturally, I will run out of meds about three days before that. Now I need to call them and beg to be put at the top of the cancellation list, because I'd still rather go to them than someone else.
