(51,090 posts)Donny Bodybags is alive.
You go along and you get through the day, but every once in a while the awfulness of what he has done sinks in for me.
I had a good cry watching the funeral.

(51,090 posts)I am thinking if they don't let me work from home, I'm going to take a leave for a year.
Hang in there, dear. This will one day be behind us.

(39,343 posts)There were a couple people that had their noses over the mask and only one asshole without a mask. It was not a fun trip and I wanted to be out of there the minute we got there.
The fatigue is real. I have lupus and a bunch of other stuff that I'm guessing means if anyone in my house gets it, I'm (expletive deleted) dead. My kid is wanting to go out and play with friends and go to school (that's not happening) and my wife is going stir crazy.
It's been constantly stressful since March.
I'm going to get a little stoned now. It's my go to thing.
Peace to us all.

Take a toke for me.

The OP is right. It's exhausting.

(2,412 posts)We are more tired than usual. It is the extra burden of the uncertainty, not being able to be with the grandchild or our daughter and son in law. Worrying because our daughter is a pregnant doctor. Wondering if we will ever be able to travel again, worrying about what COVID is doing to our world and our country. This is exhausting. Trying to figure out all this big stuff without any government guidance or help is scary. We envy our friends abroad who live in countries with rational organized leaders. Worrying about how many people are going to die because of Trumps malevolence. And we are fortunate to not have economic worries......other folks must be over the edge with anxiety.

(2,043 posts)Im so angry with my brother and his wife, theyre in Texas ffs
We FaceTimed a promotion ceremony for my brother last week, wifes whole family is there. No masks, standing close, touching each other and my baby niece. I cried over that.
Im so tired, my brain is scrambled, I forget things, lose time.
This sucks, and yet I know Im more fortunate than most so I generally dont feel justified in complaining.
I tell you what though, this is making me mean. I have no patience for idiots, even when theyre my family
