Well, I went to work because we had a long meeting today from 12-5. Now I'm completely exhausted. There was a dinner afterward, but I told them I needed to get some rest. Belle is now on my lap. I'm honestly ready to get some sleep now.
I have an appointment with my allergist tomorrow to make sure he's okay with my change in meds and to see how long he thinks I should stay on the antibiotic and steroids. I'm debating just working from home tomorrow after the appointment. Work is fine with it, and considering how wiped I am...yeah.[/

Be well. When I left ya and the thread for a few days I thought you were on the mend with new med. Sorry.
I have lost 3 people in my life in 2 days, so not in a Chit Chat-ie mood. Not family, my town-ies. 3 very good people that are at the core of our very small community. The people that make a difference to the people they live with. As I've been a civic minded person while living here I't is a bit surreal to loose 3 people you interact within the community on many levels as our churches, governmental bodies and schools always cross over, share facilities and share staff and overlap funds to make things happen here. One of the gentleman that passed family has been in our family for decades, another a neighbor that always cared for her cognitively disabled brother. The other a lady that sat on more boards in a lifetime than any of us could fathom. In small towns like mine you never get lost in the shuffle, you are known even if you do not participate yet if you need help the town will be there for you. So over the weekend we lost 3 members of our town that are all 4 generation families. 4 generation families are not abnormal here. We have been here well over 30 years and tongue and cheek we are told we are 'outsiders'
though my children were born here, no matter.
We will be a town of calling on families and funerals likely through Saturday. While each family needs their own time to celebrate the life of each lost we all mumbled it would have been great to get them together one last time for one Giant Irish Wake (another thing they had in common.) The final of the trifecta will be Friday and Saturday. A man that should be up for Sainthood, here anyhow. The one our family knows the entire family well. He raised a blended family due to first wife passing and then a few more kids with a lovely lady that raised those first kids as her own. Those kids are my age and their kids being my kids age. A major employer in our town with two businesses. Always there to help those in need through our Lions and Knights. Responsible in large part Church being built years ago and out of the Public School Gym on Sundays. This will be an all hands on deck family calling and funeral as the week ends down to our Public Works and Sheriff orchestrating the logistics.
Given this all I haven't been in a Chit Chatie kinda place. Been loosing myself in Trip Reports for a few days clearing my mind for a time of our towns sorrows.
Be well my friends....
The newbee will eventually get that he isn't angry; he just gets much louder and shows much less restraint with language when he's with his team then, say, in a meeting with a bunch of directors...at least I got praised within that rant.
