I walked with M.
I called my sister to sing her happy birthday. She got kinda screwed on shifts at her job, so she quit. It won’t stick — it never does — but she’s got a planned vacation coming up and is hoping that she doesn’t have to go back until after it’s over. Good for her!
She’s a nurse, with a lot of knowledge of seizures and she made some really useful observations and had a bunch of really great ideas. She had previously looked into Fusion Academy and did not pursue it due to sticker shock, but her impression otherwise was positive.

At intervals, often in the general vicinity of Tax Time, there are news articles about How Rich Are You Compared to Others? This is a current version from WaPo. They have capped the net worth you can input at $63,000,000 (I found that out by testing a bunch of numbers and at $1B, it told me the top was $63M). They have capped the income at $5M (same same, altho I used $10M instead of $1B).
It is a statistics driven article — it always is, in all of its incarnations — but this one is marginally better than many others I have read in the past, in its discussion of the implications of differences in wealth and income, sources of wealth and income, systemic influences, etc.
Also, having weird memories of the rwerich script from Back in the Day.
ETA:
I meant to walk with A., but it did not happen; maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow is an early release and I’m hoping to get A. in to see her own doctor and/or a referral to a neurologist, and she’s honestly still displaying symptoms (balance issues, some headache) today. I sent in a note, NOT for a mental health day, but for the neurological symptoms. I’m also really hoping to talk to Fusion tomorrow and get a sense of a timeline there.
