The good news is it probably will get better from here.

So, 2020 is off to a great (not) start!

My uncle died this morning.

Found out around the same time I had a patient overdose.

Found an Emerald Crab dried up on the floor. Yes, I have a lid. WTHeck?!

Typing this out I just realized that's 3 things. Maybe it's over?
 
I am truly sorry to hear about the tough start to your year. Please make sure that you take care of you in the midst of this whirlwind.
 
I'm not looking for sympathy but thanks.
My uncle was old. I'm in addiction medicine. It happens and the holidays are tough for a lot of people. The crab? Who knows?

I've never believed that 3s thing either. But, wishful thinking.

Great would be moving back to South Florida sooner than expected!! I really, really hate winter.

Sorry to hear about your loss and the run of negatives. Where at in South Florida?

Like you, I hate the northern Winter, just returned home to West Palm area tonight from Ohio where I’m originally from.

Hang in there.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That is a tough day and I hope your family can give you a bit of comfort. You are always welcome to lean in on your R2R family as well as much as you need. (Just really hard to give you a Hug) I am praying for you, your family and of course your uncles immediate family. So much love being sent your way!!

I ask because I just returned to West Palm area tonight from Ohio where I’m originally from. Not a good trip, speeding ticket yesterday and in a traffic accident today on I-95 that was the result of a chain reaction (I didn’t cause this one). Fortunately no one was hurt, I don’t want to see the 3’s.

Hang in there.

No problem. I've done the rest of yours for you!

I've literally had the freakiest New Year's day EVER!

Looked at my phone this am. Email from my mom saying my uncle died. Plus, email from my office manager saying a patient overdosed.

Then found the crab dead (how the heck did it climb up the glass anyway?!)

One of my Anthias was looking way too skinny (maybe it didn't eat much while I was away for Christmas?) so I put it in a hospital tank and started dosing Metro plus feeding it like every 2 hours. Didn't have any Focus but the fish doesn't care. Eats like a pig.

Yesterday my battery wouldn't start (second time in 2 days). AAA came out and started it but said I needed a new battery. Stores weren't open. AAA couldn't do it because of the make? Strange.
I didn't go out today because it snowed last night and I figured my car wouldn't start anyway.
I just now went into the garage and my car was running! Scared me! The only thing I can think is that the AAA guy pulled it into my garage and left it running? But, I think I would have noticed that when I shut the garage.

So, see? I took care of your other 2.

Naples, FL

I came up here to start an outpatient addiction clinic. Love the job but already want to go home :(
