I am usually not bothered by celebrity deaths, but Carrie Fisher is really hitting me hard. So much love from everyone. All the posts and comments are what is making this difficult for me. Seeing how much her life meant to people who never even got to meet her personally. I have followed her on twitter for a while and see how open and honest she was about her life and it touches people. She was everybody's and she knew it. She embraced it.The world is a worse off place without her in it.

Worked on docs yesterday. Went back and forth with my boss about 2017 salary negotiations. It's not going well. They are cheap and I am stubborn. I may have to make some decisions in the next couple of weeks. Might be time to pursue other pastures. Notice I didn't say greener. I am not stupid enough to think things will magically be better somewhere else. I will give up a lot of freedom and autonomy but I can also stand to dramatically increase my salary. Hard choices to make.

B finished her first cake last night. I was blown away. This looks like something from a bakery. The piping is perfect. She made it for her cousin whose birthday was the other day. We are bringing it over this afternoon.

The impressive part is she made this cake even with her mother in the hospital. Yep, her mom was in the hospital for a good part of yesterday with an upper respiratory infection, sinus infection, and elevated blood pressure. They let her go late in the day but it was worrisome around her.

My cold is finally starting to dissipate thank goodness. I am at about 90% right now. Not quite all the way to healthy but one more day should do it.
