    For me, it is the most boring day of the year. Even the Smithsonian is closed this one day each year. (They managed to maneuver around the government shutdown until 1 January.)

    My FIL goes out to Chinese food on Christmas Eve. He is Catholic as you can get. Goes out after 4 o'clock Mass. He told lilnsl he hangs out with the Chinese, Cambodians and Jews at the restaurant. THen he paused and said- I don't go to a movie tho. I go home. lilnsl cracked up. lilnsl sat with FIL. He tries to use 'the book' to follow along in the service. Loses it because they are doing the Christmas service instead of Christmas Eve because 'Catholics think they should change the days or be across the international date line'. Try to explain logically why Catholics have such rigid rules that going to Mass before 4 o'clock results in some sort of religious mayhem for your soul for the week. THe dialogue between them was a hoot. If God died for our sins why do you make up a bunch of rules to make people feel bad instead of being happy they care enough to go to church? I almost disgraced myself by howling with laughter right in the pew. I had to turn away and missed the answer.

    Happy Christmas to those who celebrate!

    Good Morning Lodge!

      Evening, Lodge. Great Xmas Day, food of course was the non-family highlight. My mom finally nailed my g-ma's Wilted Lettuce recipe, DELICIOUS. Perfect juicy ham (with a bourbon barrel maple syrup glaze as a bonus, that was my addition), my future SIL's garlic mashed which is insanely good, and Grasshopper pie for dessert. Found my elder niece wants to get into computer coding (she's 12) which impressed me greatly. Got a couple beginner books on designing video games.

      And on a final note, successfully intro'd my fam to mead. They were definitely WTeFF and loved it. It ended up taking the place of the usual wine they drink.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        I didn't know that Mead was available in the US.

            It is. Some of it is Americanized, some of it is more traditional. The one I intro'd today was Viking Blod, a more traditional mead. Schramm's Mead in MI is simply ZOMG (ask mel, or bbdl).

                  We ran to Chinatown for a Christmas feast. Mostly Chinese but a smattering of roundeyes (token Jews like mookie).

                    Ah, right on. I work on the medical records software that you (maybe) used. The one that pretty much everyone uses.

                        Hates, uses; pretty synonymous, right?

                        I appreciate that it's insane levels of complexity keep me employed. I hate the fact that my hospital is (for now) small and private and I have to do insane amounts of work myself to keep basic things moving. I can't wait until the merger. If I stick around long enough to see change.

                          Good Afternoon, Lodge!

                          Survived Christmas with the in-laws. BIL's ex-fiance was there. Mr. wore Black was not happy. She moved out and returned the ring. That means the relationship is over. Mr is planning on confronting his brother. Truth be told, none of us liked her. High maintenance with no reason to be high maintenance.

                          Now I think I am coming down with a cold. Everyone at work is not feeling top notch and it isn't post holiday hangover.

                            Afternoon, Lodge. Business was DEAD today, I was next in line to take Voluntary Time Off, so I did. Would rather lounge around at home watching movies than be bored out of my skull at work, especially since I think the rest of the week will be the same as today.

                              EMR- one of the main reasons I left practice. Easily quadrupled the time it took me to do something and for many things worse than that. I used to dictate 26 patients in less than 30 minutes. I . The other one being a boss doc who was psychotic.

                              I would rather stick a fork in my eye rather than deal with this for a living. Totally not functional for use as a medical person. Only function is to make insurance co. happy (and in the process make it impossible to function as a medical provider). If you think a small facility is hard... there are only so many moving parts there. Merge, go to a bigger system- more moving parts, more people screwed up, more people thinking they know what to do, more people telling the users what to do (and they all say something different ) .... My personal opinion is who ever invented EMR should be staked out in a desert over a fire ant nest with their eyelids stitched open and a little bit of honey poured on strategic spots so they can chew little holes in ... (no strong feelings here!)

                              Good Evening Lodge!
