She is a hospice nurse and it is rather disconcerting before I know the plan from my actual doctor.I feel like she should know better! Hang in there.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That sounds complicated, Sophia. I hope you can get things arranged to your satisfaction. I generally think you work too hard, so I’m always going to advocate for not working, but if the alternative isn’t better than of course you should do what you want!
Made it to my gate 45 minutes before boarding, plenty of time for pancakes and a bloody mary. I haven’t flown in a couple of years so maybe I’m remembering wrong, but the whole security situation seems to have gotten stupider. Maybe it’s just me not knowing my way through it.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
Sophia, I'm glad to hear you've been discharged, and it sounds like things are moving in the right direction, clot-wise. Use up that PTO to heal and rest up for further treatment!
erika, I am making a O_O face at hail breaking a window! That's some serious hail!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Water (frozen, but still) should not be breaking in when no one answers its knocks!
Glad to hear that things have somewhat improved, Sophia.

Sophia - all I keep saying is that I'm sending good vibes your way, which feels kind of useless, but I am thinking about you very much! I hope you can get things sorted to your satisfaction with work and all.
-t, may this be a fun and memorable (in only good ways) trip! I mean, you probs won't be doing a play by play, but if you do... yay. And if you don't -- look forward to hearing the details post-trip.
meara, I have two crowns in my future. But, sadly, no Mexico trip. Hmmm.
erika - holy shit! I'm sorry that happened to your window, geez. Am glad it didn't bonk any humans, though. Yikes.
It feels like a Friday, and yet it is not.

Oh! And lisah -- I'm glad you're healing well and resting! Bionic knees for the win.

They said this flight was full but the seat next to me is empty, yay! My seat won’t really recline, boo.

The stones were kind of big, but it was a lot. Because the fun never stops, I have a dental cleaning today and tomorrow I have to get up two hours early so that Mom can take a stupid CPR class for what feels like the thousandth time.(The agency left it to the last second so it's our emergency--all of those people are stupid and The Absolute Worst.)

How tiresome, erika.
Looks like we sat on the tarmac before taking off long enough that I’ll only have 14 minutes to make my connection in Dallas. Or maybe -4 minutes? Exciting! If I get moved to a later flight it makes no difference to anyone, I don’t have plans for this evening or anything, so I’m just interested to see how this works.
Oh, in a different terminal, even.
If I rebook I can’t keep my first class upgrade, apparently. That’s disappointing, I was looking forward to that.
