Past it now, the fatigue is lifting.

Also managed to accomplish quite a few things at work. I've made serious headway, and pretty much completed everything management tasked me to complete this week.

Came home and did laundry. Ran into the Super's wife (who has taken to wearing a mask again) and the young mother I'd run into previously. (Both thankfully wearing masks.) I'm wearing a KN95, I upgraded for this week.
I may up grade again, we'll see.

Super's wife (Monica): Are you okay?
Me: Yes, I'm okay now.
Monica: Are you certain?
Me: Yes, or I wouldn't be down here. Free and clear. It's past. I got a mild case.
Young mother: I'm so sorry that you got it.
ME: It's not your fault. I got it at work.
Young mother: Of course, but still. Very sorry.
Me: I was lucky - it was a mild case.
Young mother: Were you vaccinated?
Me: Yes, which probably is the reason it was so mild and didn't kick me as bad as some.

One of my co-workers got it a few months back and was out for six weeks. I have co-workers who almost died from it, and have family members who have. You'd think this would motivate folks to wear masks and get vaccinated, but nooo.

Although this co-worker had taken to wearing a mask again. Mainly because they realized it had gone through our department like wild fire.

Mother wanted me to stay home today - if I wasn't feeling up to snuff. She wanted me to stay home yesterday. I told her that I kind of had to go to work to get stuff done, also to pay bills. I can't just stay home and binge watch Discovery for the next three days. (I'm glad I went back Wed and Thursday - if I hadn't, I'd have been overwhelmed next week and blind-sighted. I had to get ahead of the work load, to stay on schedule.) We're currently being micro-managed to death and beyond.

For dinner, I opted for a spinach and cheese omelet. And hot tea. It had gotten too late - due to laundry, and having to make tomorrow's lunch, so an omelet works in a pinch.

Soap Twitter is frustrated with our soap opera. So are mother and I. God, I'm a fandom dinosaur now - the fights all feel familiar. Anyhow, I've decided that if the writers let the local serial killer loose on the soap's residents this may work in our favor. Maybe he'll kill all the characters that are beginning to annoy me? The nature of soaps? The writing comes in waves - right now it kind of sucks, and we have too many characters and storylines.

Mother: And they added yet another storyline that isn't going anywhere.
Soap Twitter: So, could they please make some progress or wrap up at least one storyline?
Me:Preferably before the end of May, and not wait until mid-August to do so?

Being a soap fan ....requires a weird amount of patience and well, a capacity to handle colossally in consistent writing.

In other news, NY1 stated we had passed 1 million deaths from COVID in the US, but the John Hopkins COVID DASHBOARD OF DOOM (it used to be map - they changed it when it began to get to hard to read the map for all the cases and deaths - the red pock marks kind of took over) - states it's still 999, 711. Which well...

Also the weather woman on NY1 ...is not the most reliable weather forecaster on the planet.

Weather woman: You won't see any sun today, it will be overcast all day long, but in the 70s.
Actual weather: Bright blue sky, no clouds, sunny, in the upper 70s, almost 80.
Weather woman: Will be turning to drizzle tonight.
Actual weather: nothing, just some clouds.

See? Not reliable. Also she needs a window.
