sorry for your loss.

Woke this morning with a sore shoulder, it's now 3PM and still hurting. I'm starting to think there might be something more than just than slept on it wrong going on here.

" hands fire a lidocaine patch " try this !

Feeling
 

Anxious, waiting, hopeful, smiling.

I'm exhausted, anxious, and frustrated. We have our first covid case at work (I manage a communal living program for 55 women). She was rushed to the hospital at 3am Monday and by noon the DOH was on the phone giving me the news. It has been a sh@t show of epic proportions that I can't even begin to describe. I've been working 18 hour shifts frantically as the state put all residents on mandatory quarantine, putting all new procedures into place for how they can shower/bathroom/eat when all of those areas are common areas. Not to mention the residents themselves who are scared and anxious- worried about losing their jobs, not being able to pay their bills, getting sick. Only one staff member was close enough to her to be at risk and that staff member was my daughter- who was helping her when she went out with the ambulance. So my daughter is on mandatory quarantine and waiting until Thursday when they will test her- but still have to wait days for the result. We have bleached the living daylight out of the whole building and continue to do so several times a day but it's still a crap shoot how this will play out. I arranged for DOH to come on site Thursday to test every resident. And then there's watching the election results trickle in and feeling sick about the state of America.

Sleep deprived, stressed,anxious, fatiguee putain

hungry, sleepy. Not looking forward to a day of doctor's appointments
and lab tests.

Excited and a little nervous after signing up

Clearly. You made me really laugh out loud at work, and now I have people looking at me trying to figure it out. I’m grumpy looking so it seems to be a big deal.

Nothing as great as your suggestions, I mean who wouldn’t want to go to space camp, but it was just in reference to signing up for the holiday card exchange on here. I have talked myself out of it the last couple yes I have noticed the thread pop up

Dang noticing that took the wind out of my sails
Time to turn on some feel good music and hit the shower, going to be a very long weekend at work

Sad and lonely.

Diva Kitty passed on yesterday. For weeks she has been looking ill, losing weight and drinking tons of water, peeing everywhere. She's been to the vet twice, who was ultimately unable to help. She had to live in the bathroom for the last month or so, due to the peeing, and that's no way for a cat to live.

She was a good cat. She liked to play, right up until the very end, even though she was an old kitty. Her favorite toy was a red ribbon that I would toss out and jerkily pull towards her. She was inquisitive and interested in things. She liked to be petted, and would occasionally consent to be snuggled. She followed me around the house, and would (usually) come when I called her. She tolerated grooming pretty well, especially when followed by treats. She would tolerate lots of things in exchange for treats - like being snuggled.

So I have no pets now. It feels lonely and weird. And since I'm dealing with this illness of my own right now, I don't foresee adopting any new ones any time soon. I dreamed about two of my former dogs last night. I hope that they and Diva Kitty and all of my other pets are happy together on the other side.

Diva Kitty, I loved you. Thank you for hanging with me for so long.

How are you feeling
 

Not too sure, getting unsteady sitting on this fence.

I’m sorry for your loss G M lost my little guy last summer and I’m still depressed when I think of him . It’s like losing a part of your heart

Sad,tired and sleepy

Pretty good. I know it's too early to decide on these latest pillows, but I woke up without a stiff neck and am not taking tylenol today.

Could be worse.

So very sorry. It's hard to lose an animal companion.

Feeling
 

Feeling very concerned about my older brother. He woke up blind in one eye and Dr. says that sight is gone for good. I spent 3 days with him the beginning of this week and saw how he tried to manage. Not bad but not good either. I guess I will have to go and see him more often. We email daily and talk a couple times a week. I am only an hour away so if he needs me I can go. He is super independent so looking after him is totally out off the question.
