Thrive to spite them

America's whole healthcare system is broken, along with other systems...

M's mom is sick, she finally went to the doctor. Well she went to CVS minute clinic but I'm glad she went somewhere, she's had some problems breathing and yesterday she had a scary experience where she was coughing and then couldn't catch her breath but she finally did. She has bronchitis according to the minute clinic and has a prescription and seems content to stay at home and not go out-- like she didn't go to her daughter's this afternoon and opted to stay home.

the house continues to be weird with the electrical and the power in part of the kitchen went out (over head light, the plug the stove is on and another plug on the opposite side of the room) but if you turn the dial on the stove it flips the breaker back..or something. I don't know.

I continue to feel run down and kind of icky I'm hoping I'll feel better tomorrow . Maybe. Mom is doing well with covid and she hasn't had anything bad happen.

I wish I had something interesting to talk about. Well today there was someone kind of new (I think) and I was asked to show her around a bit and kind of train her and I really struggled with that and struggled with finding things. It was just too much to try and do and I kept starting to say something and trailing off and losing my train of thought. So that is frustrating because it's something I could have done previously and I really don't know if this is going to get better or if it's something I'm just going to have to deal with. I did let the team lead know that it wasn't something that I should be doing again, at least in the foreseeable future.

And I used to be really good at training people, at least on the registers, one of the former assistant managers said she could always tell which employees I had trained because of how well they did.

Well crap. I'm having issues with Hulu. I splurged for Live TV during the last of college football and I want to cancel that but keep hulu, disney and espn+ and I couldn't find an option for that so I contacted support. And they cancelled the entire thing. I just realized. So now it's telling me to sign up for all 3 again and that's not what I wanted. So I'm back waiting to talk to someone in support and ask why there is no option to just get rid of Live and keep Hulu, Disney and Espn

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Night shift. Lonely and frightened.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sympathy. Empathy. Comfort from afar.

Not yet caffeinated. The gronk is still strong.

I hope you were able to get some sleep, JZ.

Sorry you’re not feeling well, askye.

It’s a cold, clear morning here in NC. I was thinking of taking the bike out, as it’s sunny. But the 31F temps are making me reconsider. It’s been damp lately, and icy patches + bikes = sadness. Maybe later.

Happy Birthday msbelle!!! I hope you are having a wonderful day. May the year to come be filled with delight.

eta: I tried several ways to make that pink with no success. Not sure why it doesn't work. See sad face.

Productive day yesterday. I sorted my Christmas decorations and packed 4 large bins for donation. That left 5 bins plus the tree, which a big improvement. I brought 7 over to my sister previously which contained the large ceramic outdoor nativity set that was my mother's. There are still more somewhere because I never came across my mom's indoor nativity set. Today cleaning and prepping for my son's visit. They arrive tomorrow. I did the big food order a few days ago to pick up tomorrow. Lots of stuff planned including going to see The Full Monty and a day at Jungle Island where gf and her sister will do a sloth encounter. They plan on having friends over for movie night, and meeting friends for bowling. Also, he is a big fan of cows so we are making a super cute cow from cupcakes for his birthday. I will take a break from chores and go with DH for billiards day, including watching the Dolphins get beat by the Bills. I did get pretty teal nails to be a fan, but little hope for this game.

Surgery~ma, Susan. I've known other women who have had this and said it was life-changing.
