I sometimes wonder if this virus will be preparing some of us for an extraordinary destiny. Hardships are just the way of the world. It's what this life has to offer. Some are worse than others. Some are blessings in disguise. Some are teaching tools from God. It is what it is. You have to just work through it so you can come out the other side. Sometimes if it weren't for hardship I would never grow as a person. In order for growth to take place, change must come. So, maybe that's why this virus is here. Maybe there is human growth that needs to happen & this is God's way of dealing with it. I don't know. I just know it's not easy living through this & not breaking. I am also discovering some things about myself, my life & the people in it.
Morning. I have to work till close today. It's forecasted to be 83F out.
They are talking about re-opening May 3. I think it's too soon. I believe they will have a 2nd wave. I'm concerned that if they re-open, they may make us take our masks off again at work. I contacted the DOL to see what rights I have as worker to protect myself. So, we shall see.
I hope everyone has a great week.
One of my co-workers may have been exposed to COVID via his mother. Won't know for 48 hrs.
Till then, I'm praying like crazy. He lives with his folks & I"m really surprised since they sent his dad home that they just told the employee to mask up. I guess they decided to open the cath-lab at work. We're still on lockdown till May 3rd to my knowledge.

For as long as I can remember, I've had trouble with relationships of any kind. I've never really had any true friends. I've never been able to get close enough to anyone. Most people let me in for a time and then turn me loose when they are done with me. Or they leave me. I've never had one single person stay. Never had anyone that could manage to love enough to stay & be a part of my life without giving up at some point.
For years I've been smiling through it all but, right now the pain has finally gotten to be too much and I've decided to let go. To stop chasing dreams & hoping for people to care or to love me. I don't have the energy left to care. I've given up on any hope of any relationship ever working out with anyone. Mainly because every time I reach out, I get hurt. No matter what.
At first I used to think it was all my fault but, it takes 2 to tango. I've laid my heart out in front of people just to get it stomped on. I've made every effort I could to get relationships started & keep them going. To no avail. I kept wondering what was wrong with me. But, it isn't all my fault. It has to do with them and so many other life factors. But, I've decided to remove myself from the equation.
I will go along in this life by myself if I have to. Because I no longer know what else to do. People have suggested I go do volunteer work but, really, who is gonna wanna spend time with me after that even? How would that be any different than what I already deal with? I'm not trying to sound like I'm whining or anything. I'm just unloading. I've never known how to be a friend or how to get along well with others that much. I've had issues since childhood.
I keep telling myself that it will be ok. That I will manage. But sometimes I truly wonder if my sanity can handle it. Never having any support or anyone to talk to. I talk to my parents but, they are not going to live forever. At best I may get maybe another 10 yrs with them if I'm lucky. And that's a big if. After that, my world is going to become a very dark place. I don't know how things are going to go then. All I hope for is that God will be there to catch me.
Today I feel a little better. Mindset is still kind of crappy. Even though we added another 250+ to COVID count, the governor still wants to re-open Kansas. I still think it's a mistake. It was really slow at work this evening. Tomorrow I get off at 3p. Then I'm off Friday.
It's supposed to be 87F tomorrow. I wonder if this summer is going to be a scorcher. Last year wasn't bad.

Kansans are collectively waiting today to see what the new "rules" are going to be for re-opening.
They are having chili cheese dogs today as the grill special. There's nothing on the hot food side that interests me at all. I won't get a lunch break so I won't have to worry about it. Thank goodness.
It was chilly in the house this morning. I don't know what anyone considers chilly but 67 is too much for me. It will be 78F later today. Tomorrow they changed it to 85F for the high. Glad I will be home tucked in my a/c.

Oh, Marci.... You'll find some friends and you probably have some already but just don't realize it. Keep reaching out.
At any rate, you have us!
At any rate, you have us!
Well, we're gonna open in 4 phases. Despite the fact that we now have over 4200 cases and 129 deaths. I plan to remain isolated for the unforeseeable future. I told my mom until we are completely case free for at least a month or 2...I will not be coming to visit. I believe despite the summer weather that we may see a case or two here and there till fall unless we get a 2nd wave from re-opening right away. Then another wave this fall for sure.
I am off tomorrow so, I will be chillin in the a/c while it's near 90F out.
Chillin this evening with this:
Y'all have a good night.

I am not fulfilling my duties to this forum today. I did however come up with a new idea for a thread!! I'm so excited!
We have 4,449 cases of COVID with 130 dead today in Kansas. I still don't think re-opening right now is the answer.
Starting Monday the 4th we will be coming to work and temping ourselves and recording the temps. If it's anything like how some people temp...I think we're in trouble. If they do it themselves there's nothing to stop them from lying. Anyway, if we have a fever of 100.0 or higher we mask up, tell the boss and go home. At which point we will have to be tested in order to return to work. Not sure how many times that will happen that the ins. will cover.
Anyway, there's a company that has no relation to us that's gonna do drive through testing outside work every Friday and Saturday but our chief medical officer has some concerns about whether or not the test would be done properly and about how sanitary that would be. I have to agree there. Plus, if they are just volunteers and not medical personnel, whose to say they wouldn't cause damage to your nasal cavity during the swab? I can't see where they would have any way of washing their hands. Or keeping our samples sterile. I will just do in house testing if need be.
Alright...new thread time...~rubs hands together and grins~

Today was dreadful. I'm glad I'm off tomorrow. I might just get slightly drunk tonight.
And listen to this while I'm doing it. Paris is the place to drink is it not? LOL
May have to dance with my stuffed monkey. Might as well. Who's here that's gonna care? *Looks around* Nobody.
I hate when one person in a group of people has to get all bent out of shape and make everyone else around them in a rotten mood for the rest of the day. Especially over something stupid. Oh well....*Shrugs*
I got pizza, peeps, brownies & ice cream. Oh yes and liquor. So it's all good.
I just realized I should explain when I said peeps I didn't mean people. I meant the little sugar coated marshmallow Peeps. *Giggles*
