Let’s share some Christmas Eve traditions unfolding today. Dinner plans? Advent calendar ceremonies? Santa cookies. Elf-on-shelf immolation? Let us know!
Pulled out my accumulated 2024 Irks and am wrapping items as prizes for Christmas Day/NYE games. Looking back, my Irk regret was not as bad as I recalled.
I need to put a pot of spaghetti sauce on sometime this afternoon for tomorrow’s dinner.
Tidy up the house, mop floors, etc to get the house ready for tomorrow. There is not much that needs to be done here.
And that’s it, hope everyone is surrounded by love tomorrow.

I always get all my shots early in the season [as soon as locally available- like in late Sept.] so I know that they’re ready to be active when I start seeing sick patients.
Last New Year’s Day I started having a raging fever and shaking chills courtesy of [testing confirmed] Influenza B, which I must have caught at Christmas from a new addition to our extended family who came into town from elsewhere.
I was so sick, that I thought it must be Covid.
Nope…
I also lost 15# in 1 weeks from alternating between drenching sweats, shaking chills, and anorexia- despite trying to make myself eat.
God bless and feel better.
@narfcake it’s amazing how much credit you get for just having your butt in an office building on Christmas Eve. (regardless of whether or not it is your actual job to be on Meh forums)
@Cerridwyn@narfcake
Did you have to practice getting into and out of PPE with an observer to make sure that you didn’t accidentally contaminate yourself?
What a waste of time and resources that turned out to be…
Rest, heal, and recuperate.
@narfcake@PhysAssist the inpatient staff did. We just got told we weren’t allowed to come over. For anything. Which meant no lab drop offs on the weekend, that was probably the only thing that impacted us directly but yeah it was a waste of resources but for some institutions maybe they were a teeny tiny bit more prepared for the disaster that was 2020. I remember the Emergency Management Department in the beginning of covid at least talking about how it compared with the Ebola scare. We were at high risk… they, I keep saying we but I need to say that, our faith-based and have Ministries all over the world including all over africa. And so we always had a risk that somebody would walk in the door with something weird from over there
I’m answering emails. It’s been a tradition for like 6 years now.
@Targaryen same, to be honest.
We usually have our big Xmas dinner on Xmas eve.
I’m sitting at the dentist because my wife forgot Dec 24 was Christmas Eve and booked the kids dentist appointments for today. Had to do all
Of course I played this over Pandora on the drive over here.
/youtube Dentist! little shop of horrors
@OnionSoup what a delightfully evil scheduling life hack
Not too much today.

Btw sauce is on!!
Nada special
@Cerridwyn
Masked up at the office today, still dealing with the lingering effects of the flu. So working … or is that “working”?
(I got my shots last month, but it didn’t stop me from catching whatever variant that hit me.
)

@narfcake @PhysAssist Yeah
when you work in healthcare, you get exposed to everything!
Remember the ebola scare
where I worked … has a lot of international visitors and staff. We who worked off campus were told to stay off campus, lol
Feel better
