It is clearly the weekend. What the heck are you guys talking about?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Same, I want it to be the weekend already ugh. I super did not want to get up this morning and I don’t want to do the work I need to do…but I already took a sick day this week, so I need to get SOMETHING done!

I have made two onerous phone calls, and now I'm trying to do some clean up so that my inlaws won't be as horrified when they show up today.

I thought that yesterday was Thursday, so this week has me totally discombobulated.

I also had a sick day this week (Tuesday), but since the week was about 3 days long before I was sick, and I've definitely worked *at least* 3 days since, it MUST be the weekend by now.

Even though I don't know what day of the week it is, I'm getting those onerous tasks done: some work stuff, 2 loads of laundry, paid quarterly taxes, packaged up a sweater that was too big so I can return it to Lands End, and in about half an hour I'm going to actually go to the damn post office to mail said package to Lands End. Then a tiny walk, and then more work. I'm genuinely not even sure if the car will start, because we haven't used it in weeks. This will be very exciting.

I read Teppy’s post and now I need a nap.
I made breakfast and lunch for myself and did some work stuff.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I feel like I've put in a couple of day's worth of work since complaining this morning. And yet I am still waiting for the price exception report that was supposed to be out at noon. Is it actually past noon? I am not sure at this point.

The car did start, hooray, but it needs coolant (which I didn't realize until I got back home, or else I would have put coolant in it before I drove it, yikes). This is the 2000 Echo, which has faithfully transported me (and then us) since 2004. It may be time to get a car that's newer than 22 years old (the Corolla is a 2013, which is already pushing 10 years and just hit 100,000 miles). I really wanted to wait out the car shortage, because it seems like it should improve by summer. Will have to ponder this.

I also called out sick on Tuesday. I'm reasonably sure I don't have COVID and this is just a sinus infection since I tested myself on Friday and again on Tuesday, but I'm also masking up anytime I leave my apartment just in case. I have zero desire to work and my body doesn't understand why we are not in a blanket burrito on the couch. I need to figure out what is the bare minimum I can force myself to get done the rest of the day.
I had "reschedule dentist appointment" on my To Do list since it's next week and I would like to not what with the pandemonium, but then they called me to confirm my appointment! Rescheduled for March.
