It was an interesting morning. I had a presentation to give at 9:00 and I bugged my staff to get me some of the info yesterday and got it mostly done last night. Came in early this morning and finished it up, and started through my backlog of emails. I get to one with the agenda for today's meeting and see I was scheduled at 8:15. This was at 8:10. Luckily I had the thing done and everything printed out I needed. Even had fished out my super powerful green laser pointer that was tucked away since we went all virtual when COVID hit. Needless to say it threw me off a bit but we got 'er done.

Gear says it's Friday, so be it. Finishing up 1:1 with my staff just to see what's up and then catching up on rounding in the hospital. I signed up for the Zoom call Sunday because I know B Dave will be hurting having to quit me cold turkey like that after the con. So I would invite all others to join us.

So yesterday was weird. It's not too unusual that I wake up tired when I need to get to work. My early-riser get-up-and-go has been replaced by totally wishing I could stay in bed until 8 every morning. But yesterday I was almost falling asleep in the shower. I only had one call with a doc on my calendar for the day so I texted my boss and headed back to bed. When I woke up again, I changed the calendar invite for the doc to my cell phone and added in that I was at home and he could call when he was free. Still in bed, my phone rings with a Teams video call. Ummm. So I'm scrambling to get a shirt on so I can answer it but don't get to the call in time. We end up connecting and that got me moving for the day. I don't know what was up. No other symptoms other than exhaustion. Back to normal today and looking forward to a Cobb salad for a meeting I'm not even attending. :D
