Day #299
I'm numb or as they say in that Pink Floyd song...comfortably numb. (I'm not sure if I qualify as a Pink Floyd fan or not? ( subtangent on being a fan of Pink Floyd )
Mother: How are you?
ME: I'm numb. I don't know last week I was having panic attacks and crying at the drop of the hat. This week? I don't seem to care that much about anything. It's as if my nervous system got overloaded and decided okay, that's it, time to take a break and shut down.
Mother: Numb is good. Sometimes we need a break from the onslaught of emotion. A lot happened last week. I'm kind of numb too.
Mother advises me that Debbie Peebles, the second in charge at the retirement community she lives in or at, didn't appear to know that they had booted Aunt K out of there.( Read more... )
Meanwhile...in other COVID related news..

Took a walk after work today - to the pharmacy, to pick up supplies that are best purchased at the pharmacy. I'd run out of Magnesium Citrate, which helps the digestive system. I got to work on that - someone posted on the COVID group that I'm in - on FB that COVID is especially severe for anyone with gut issues or inflammatory disease. As one poster, who'd discovered she was gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant posted - "okay, now I might as well blockade myself in my apartment, build a moat, put up gates, and hire dragons."
At work, I spoke with Chidi and attended a Teams meeting with Jay, which was aggravating. Hopefully the one on Thursday is less aggravating. I kind of miss talking to Chidi, Chidi told me that he missed talking to me as well.

Chidi burst out laughing. Gallows humor folks. It keeps me going.
I texted Aunt K that we might be to get her back to assist Mom next week, assuming of course we don't have a big mutant zombie apocalypse in the interim.
Speaking of the Big Mutant Zombie Apocalypse (that wasn't)?
I got an email from one of the senators that I had supported, Chris Murphy, who somehow or other I ended up on the email listserve of, not sure how? I think it's because I signed some petition he was pushing? Or my support for Jamie Harrison and Amy McGrath.
Anyhow - his email goes into detail as to what happened from his perspective. It's harrowing. I know what happened now - I've seen it and read it from multiple perspectives. I'm trying to be kind, but I'm not sure it works with terrorists.
According to the NY Times Briefing...it looks like both the House and the Senate will impeach the 45th this week. The Republicans are slowly coming around to the Democrats perspective, and are in agreement that he has to go.

Enuf. Here have a picture of a sunset. Sunsets remind me that the world goes on, no matter how crazy the human race gets.
