Back on shift after a week off. G-ma died 2 weeks ago, so I was home with family. The pandemic meant services were a bit different than she would’ve liked- sorry G-ma we couldn't give you a different outfit for each viewing- but no doubt she would have wanted us all together.

Went out to lunch with my friend Sid for his birthday today. We became friends on this year’s Heroes Flight to Washington DC. He’s a hoot, and you’d never know he’s 96. He says he’s just going to flip it, and tell people he’s 69😂

#UL24 was trending in Louisiana today. A video associated with the hashtag showed a large gathering, and some..."dancing" on a truck. Administrators say they are aware of reports of a large party last night and they are investigating.
