I vote ominous, personally. The 7:30 part is just insult to injury, but I start at 7:30 more often than not thanks to the whole global company piece.

Please rest assured that this does not relate to any impact on your individual roles or status

There is nothing in there that's not a red flag.

Sophia, welcome back! Glad to hear you're feeling good!

Nothing in my house works and we really need to fire out HVAC company but we also need shit fixed NOW. The heat is temporarily back on but the furnace apparently needs a very expensive replacement part and when I told the guy "your company installed this 5 years ago" he basically accused me of lying. (I went back and checked the paperwork - it was 6 years ago and the part he quoted me might actually still be under warranty.) The water softener didn't get installed due to town bureaucracy shenanigans, but they're coming back tomorrow and that one's less urgent. (We've got corroded valves all over the place but nothing is ACTIVELY broken.)

Very exciting news about the musical, Jess! That sounds right up my alley.

Not so excited about the home maintenance stuff. Blergh.

Somehow, I missed Atropa's 7:30a meeting post until I saw people talking about it. Ugh to that on all levels, Atropa.

I am very sad - I just got the news from my sister that they had to put down one of their dogs unexpectedly today. Tally is a dog of my heart, and I am going to miss my sweet girl. There were several years there when every time I was visiting, she would only sleep on my bed. I will miss her so much.

I’m so sorry, JenP.

Really glad to hear you have been discharged, Sophia!! I know it must be frustrating not knowing what the next steps will be exactly. Hope you get a solid treatment plan soon.

Hope your meeting is merely irritatingly early, Atropa, and not ominous.

As for me, I am still sleeping most of the day. Like an infant.

Rest and heal, lisah! Having new parts seems like it could be pretty tiring.

Big hailstone broke my bedroom window just now. Attendant's DH will have to come tonight and put cardboard in the hole or something. at least the storm seems to be over, though.

generally find hail kind of fascinating, but we usually just get little pebbles. not big angry ones.

Yikes, erika! Dang

very strange and destructive, but aren't we all. that one was, while not big enough to compare to fruit or sporting goods. the size of a big ice cube. was on the weather report, but having a big metro area in a valley means everyone doesn't get it all...thought it would miss us.
