Maybe you can at least schedule a phone call or something? Just to talk how's it going and if there is time, a little help in these times can change a lot

We don't have universal medical coverage.

Saturdays are housework days and I was puttering about doing chores when I noticed pain and stiffness in my right foot. I put it down to not-great sandals at first but then noticed a large bruise across the top of the foot! wtf!?
I eventually had a vague memory of dropping something quite heavy on that foot Friday but it seemed ok in the moment.
That's how weird everything is for me right now. Not remembering dropping heavy objects on my feet less than 24 hours later.
Foot still stiff and bruised but improving. Cat cooperating by taking my shoulder hostage, instead.

Feeling a lot better today but went to the doctor just to be safe and got some meds.

Yes! That's great news!

Complaint!
God drat, I am so tired.
Yay, I'm helping.

Aw, geez PSP. I'm so sorry.

But we didn't have those things. :(

Our local government is doing pretty well; my job is related to healthcare for the homeless (and other vulnerable people), so I'm familiar with a lot of the work being done.
(Also very stressed and on edge, working on ways to deal with that!)

I am angry that our federal government (and sooo many state/local ones) are being actively malicious.

It's quite nice to hear about things going well!

Rather a sweet way to be remembered:

Nobody cared who I was until I started handing out the masks.

So true.

:sigh:
I comfort myself with the knowledge that at least our management absolutely has our back on safety and time off to destress.
But, yeah. :sympathy: from a non-hugging person.

I just got done doing a trach/PEG on a COVID patient which isn’t exactly a big deal but my allergies are making me want to rip my eyeballs out because they continually weep and itch and I’m going to give myself it for sure

also I got into a screaming match with my boss because I’m leaving my current job and he is resentful that I want a couple of days off to move to my new house and help out my 27 week pregnant wife with my two kids while me move, while he takes two weeks of vacation and mine got wiped out by the pandemic

My housemate's boss is cutting hours because he just has to get his third vacation home redecorated. Very important!

Protests in my area start early this afternoon, so I am being ordered home, effective as soon as I finish this task for my boss.

Fifteen years taking prescriptions
Now a shrink like, "I dunno, maybe get a kitten"

hell yeah on both fronts

to GaG, i realize this is a lot easier to say than do but try to focus on the connection that all those people trying to get ahold of you implies rather than the isolation of their not being able to be physically present. they're still out there and they still care about you as much as ever and are using the tools they have to show it. that means a lot

Looking at the bus "real time predictions" and it's a sea of red cancellation notices for the afternoon. Did get all my shopping done, which is a relief.
