JZ, honey, I am so right there with you. It's a damn lucky thing for people that I'm a true hermit because my filters are just all. gone. at this point. H is tolerant and patient and laughs at my funny rants to help me crawl out of the Angry Pit. He used to get upset at my monologue at Other Drivers, but he gets it now. I want to stop being angry. I want my first startle reflex not to be rage and retaliation. I'm really truly done with this societal death spiral crap. Can we have some progress, now? Some kindness, some public caring for each other, some freaking hope? That would be nice.
Yeah, going back to work in person (because that is a thing I will eventually need to do) is going to be be rough just from a filter perspective.
Much less the fact that exposed to Covid (and look what fun friends it eventually brought) at work. I'm not over that. My getting sick was preventable and probably I'd never have experienced the hyponatremia (very low sodium) and seizures.
But today I am focused on getting my dog back (work Soldiers were awesome caring for her but everyone had young kids or crazy puppies or lived in barracks, so Shelby (she doesn't have an internet name. does this call for a Facebook poll?) is up at a nearby base chilling with my bosses' boss. She's basically on vacation but I know she'll be happy to know I'm safe and back to okay again.
