She’s a feisty older lady who used to be a nurse. Her initials are the “ss”. What is the “zz” for?

It means she wants a scotch and soda. Then she’ll happily go to sleep.
Or @Sunny2, given the order, she will have a nap and then a scotch and soda as her wake-up tipple.
How older is she?
Maybe she’s mistaking xxx’s with zzz’s?
Because it looks really cool. “Z” is so much cooler that “S”. Dah. Or maybe she is a zombie. So the “ZZ” stands for “Zombie zombie”.
Or perhaps her name is really Zondra Zorro…
It’s her way of saying “Give Me All Your Loving” by short reference to ZZ Top.
I feel silly that I don’t know what PAX means when people put it on the end of a letter.
Dont feel silly @Judi. I have no idea either.
Pax, it is Latin for “peace.”
@Bellatrix: given the order, she will have a nap and then a scotch and soda as her wake-up tipple.
Thanks for giving me a wake-up giggle. :D
@serenade: Are you sure they are Z’s? Could they be some other letter?
Is she an old kraut by chance?
If so, in German:
ZZ Zur Zeit (for now)
In other words, she’s signing off by saying “That’s all for now” SS
@SpatzieLover- I think her background is English, but that is the best educated guess I can imagine. Now I have something to take with me if I decide to ask her.
All our correspondence is digital; it’s definitely “zzss”.
