Found out today that my boss is retiring in a couple of months. Can't say that I blame him, but he's been one of the best bosses I've had, plus we don't know when/if his position will be filled. Sigh.

First rule of Disney club.

Happy morning news: my sister and BIL have a new great-nephew! He arrived a few weeks early and in a hurry (less than 3 hours after mom went into labor). All are doing well. 😄

I'm home now and feeling fine, but taking it easy (of course). Spending my afternoon doing address changes and account cancellations for the move. (Spectrum keeps routing me into the Spanish-language line. Sigh.)

Supraventricular tachycardia is not much fun, and neither is the treatment. But it worked, at least. Spending the night at the hospital for observation just in case.

I'd watch it!

Why is it that, no matter how you plan a move, you always end up with at least one more carload of stuff than you expected??

This. I found out about 15 years ago that my measles titers were too low. Got an MMR vax then.

EIS officers go on to fill public health jobs all over the world. Shutting down that pipeline is a huge, huge loss.

Still dealing with off and on vertigo today. Thankfully, I'm mostly sitting here while the movers pack up my life. Again.

Woke up with vertigo this morning. Dad would've called me a dizzy dame. 😄

More adulting today: eye exam this morning, hotel reservation for Friday/Saturday (during move), banking appointment made for next week. Still have A LOT of packing/culling to do before Friday. Sister will be coming to help tomorrow after work, at least.

Sister and BIL brought Fat Matt's over for dinner. I am now happily stuffed with pulled pork barbecue and mac & cheese. Yummmmm.

I'm not sure if my upstairs neighbors are getting louder and louder (clomping around, mostly) or if I'm just getting more annoyed by it, but either way, I'm glad I'm moving out soon!

Various updates: 1. Sister & BIL have an offer on their house! 2. #1 may mean we have to revise our moving plans. 3. I have a lot of shit still to pack/purge. 4. "I have a lot of shit" is kind of eternal, tbh.

Sometimes the universe really does scream: I saw a car in traffic this morning that was the same unusual make and color that a friend in another state drives. Ten minutes later, I saw another. I immediately called her and found out she's in the hospital. (Doing well, going home soon.)

Y'all. Stop calling Elon's minions children or boys. They are grown men, fully capable of making adult decisions and dealing with the consequences. No excuses.

Today's adulting: going to the bank to get Dad's accounts unfrozen (filling out a form + providing a death certificate), deposit some checks, and take out some cash. Don'wanna. *pouts* (But I will...)
