Rough Two Days
It's been a hard two days. The really good part is that we had a huge turnout at my meetings on Wednesday, and folks are ready to take on management and negotiate a great contract. Spent lots of quality time with my staff, absolutely adore my new staff member, and got a ton done at the meetings.
Bad: we are all just in shock about the nurse whose son was killed on Sunday night. We've gotten more detail, and while I can't share the info out of respect for her privacy, I can tell you that his death is an unbearable, unjustifiable tragedy. Just two weeks ago the same sort of car accident happened to the son of another nurse at the hospital. It's like a cloud is hanging over our heads. I did more grief counseling in three days than I'd done in my entire career. I'm going to ask my dad, the church pastor, for advice.
A rather bad CR few days... managed to avoid eating off others' plates on Tuesday, but on Wednesday had a bite here and there. Worked out Tuesday, Wednesday. Didn't have time this morning, as had to leave early to get to negotiations at the older of the twins, and I barely slept for nightmares of car accidents.
Tomorrow I fly away to visit my grandparents. Can't wait to see my grandmother.
More when I can.

Sorry you're having a rough time. Things have been pretty tense around my house, too. Here's hoping the skies clear soon.
