Eating lunch before I go play video games. I'm off the weekend.

Starting to struggle with the effects of Covid on everyone and everything. This week two people in our town hung themselves from trees in their yard. This horrifies me to think I might see someone swingin from one on the way home from work. One wasn't far from where I live. This is partly why I'm glad I don't go out. I will take hiding in the house any day over seeing someone hanging from a tree.

Oh, You poor sweet lady! All I can do is pray for you and send you good thoughts!
I wish I could help you!
You sound EXHAUSTED! I mean REALLY, REALLY EXHAUSTED!
Where ARE you? Are you in the continental United States?

trying to decide what i want for dinner. hmm....

i hafta work early. spent the day unloading a bunch of my animal crossing stuff. i'm gonna start completely over later on. i just haven't been in the mood for the game. fortnite is down till tomorrow for the next season update so i'm gonna play me some splatoon after dinner.
 
My mother fell in the shower yesterday and they set her wrist and then splinted it and then she went into surgery a couple hrs ago for a plate and some pins in it. With her RA the doc wanted to try to keep from breaking again. She reached out to break her fall so she wouldn't hit her head and her wrist broke the opposite direction. Dad just called and said she doing ok so I'm very relieved.

I got a toe that cracked when I was cleaning at work Mon. and it's swollen and hurts. I keep forgetting to plant one foot down before trying to get up off one knee. I'm using the top of my foot as leverage and last time it was my ankle.

So far today I made some avatars for Halloween for some of the ladies from a women's forum I go to. I'm getting ready to go play Fortnite here in a bit.

We're all exhausted and burnt out and we're not even direct care. I hate to think what those poor nurses and docs are going through. We have enough of a shortage that one of the ER nurses worked a 36 hr shift because there was nobody to call in.

We appreciate the prayers believe me. People's behavior right now is not to be trusted. Some of them are on the edge of ending up in our behavioral health unit. I don't know how these other places can manage seeing all the bodies they're seeing in one day compared to a week here. It's like being in two separate lives. One life is Covid and the other life isolation. It's difficult to go to work and face all this every day and find out coworkers are getting sick with it and then trying to come home and live a normal life. I have trouble reckoning all this in my head.

I've been soaking it in ice cold water. I start with room temp. Then add a little ice pack. Wait a little bit and add another little ice pack. Probably soak it for like an hr. The swelling went down a bit and it hurts a little less.

Mother was in recovery around 1 and dad called around 3:30 to say she was fine and they were home.

I didn't break it. It just popped funny when I was on my knees cleaning a table and then I think I just aggravated it by how I got off the floor. I'll soak again later. It will probably be even better tomorrow. When I get up it pops back into place a little here and a little there. 😁
 
Hola! Good afternoon! I got my dishes done and I'm sitting down to lunch before I go play some more Fortnite today. Today's dinner consists of a bologna sandwich served with a slice of american cheese and a side of bacon ranch Suddenly Salad. To drink there's a tall glass of ice cold sweet tea.

I got to thinking about what life was like years ago and I miss those days. Life is too chaotic and too confusing anymore. I often find myself overwhelmed to the point where I want nothing to do with it. People frustrate me with some of their unnecessary drama and downright theatrics. People nitpick and tattle over stupid petty things just to get someone in trouble cuz they're mad at them. WTH is wrong with everyone? When did normal disappear and crazy take over? Can't blame the pandemic for this because this started long before the pandemic came knocking on our doors. I think the media just makes matters worse on purpose. They want people to feed on their drama so they'll stay tuned but they're doing more harm than good. I try to stay clear of it. I view some things just to stay informed but other than that...I refuse to subject myself to this frenzy the media has created.

People at work are acting like total nut jobs and it's making it very difficult to get through the day without choking the life out of someone. LOL! It reminds me of grade school. The office is where the teachers are and the kitchen has become the school playground where it's every man for themselves. Bullies run amuck and the rest of us have to survive it. There's occasional fights and the one that starts it never gets in trouble. Just the ones who defended themselves.

I don't know how I keep from going crackers with all this to deal with every day. Thank God for hobbies! They're the only thing keeping me moderately sane right now. There's only so much jabbing a person can take before they turn on someone and unleash their rage. I hollered at a coworker Tues. because he'd been on my behind all week and he was being ridiculously unreasonable and I just went off. I had to walk away to keep from blowing completely up. I'm sure I will get dragged to the principals office for the 3rd time in a week because these people are babies. I spend all my time having to defend my actions and my words because I work with babies who don't know what normal behavior is because they spend their lives inside their phones. Makes me wanna tell them to pull their head out once in a while and take a look around at life and at others. Sheesh!

This week I've been getting into trouble for not doing stuff that was someone else's job to do. Or fellow coworkers failing to do something that resulted in me not completing tasks because I was unaware they needed doing. However those folks are golden and end up being employees of the month. Seriously? Life has become one big joke anymore.

I no longer understand or care. Sadly I just go through the motions and do my best to survive each day. And when people ask why I never seem to be having a good day at work it's not like I can tell them it's because they make me miserable with their BS every day. That would be rude. 😁
 
Well I'm getting slaughtered in my video game but man is it fun! There was some kind of dinosaur thing...a velociraptor. They're creepy as hell. And hard to kill. Glad it's not a gory game. I die a lot. LMAO!

Trying to manage a bout of depression that seems to have settled in recently. So it's been pretty quiet at my place. It's my weekend off so I'm just hangin around. Got dishes to do. Pizza to eat. Coffee to drink. Video games to play. It's all good.

@MarciKS,
You deserve a nice quiet weekend to kick back and forget the nonsense of your workplace. That would drive any of us up the wall in short order.

Enjoy your coffee and pizza, and may you be the "master" of your video games this weekend.
