work; organ donor; exercise

[redbird]

I got a nice email from my boss this morning, thanking me for attending and writing up yesterday's meetings. She also asked where I was on the manuscript I'm currently editing, and we decided that I can finish that up before starting something else, rather than putting this to the side while doing that rush project. I'm pleased (though I may at least look at the other one on the train tomorrow or Sunday.

The mail today included a nice letter, signed by the state Commissioner of Health, thanking me for registering as an organ donor; including a form I can use if I want to restrict my donation; and (re-)explaining that "At the time of your death, yuor family will be informed of your decision and given information regarding the donation process. However, their permission will not be needed to move forward with donation." The relevant people in my family already know and agree with this decision; what this means is that if the organ donor program can't reach them quickly, the donation will still go through. (And we will continue to hope this is several decades in the future.)

After work, I went to the gym. It was a good workout.
