    I spent all weekend doing yard work, so didn't get to mix my new one shots from chefs, but got to work this morning, and was told we have no jobs to do, there is no work, so you may as well go home, without pay of course, but may as well use the free time to get these one shots mixed today :)

    Ugh this is making me depressed-er. All my work is gonna be in person I think. If I can make me go in, IDK..

    This morning I feel like such a failure. I woke to my alarm but it was 5 am so IDK if it counts.

    The Depakote is not going to work, I don't think. I forgot how it made me feel. For the first time I can think of, in like, ever, I literally forced myself to get on my yoga mat and like, I just couldn't do it. It just wasn't even possible. Maybe I will feel calmer once I talk to my boss and at least KNOW what her Machiavellian plan is for me and like, go from there. I'm sure I can make something work, I'm guessing. I just... This sucks. I also have not pooped since my first dose, so like, that's not cool. I forgot that side effect, I'm sitting here drinking Diet Pepsi because it settles my stomach.

    I feel like death warmed over. I can't focus and I can't cope. I am getting emails that make me think I like, am missing out on some things but who knows. Probably. I gotta turn loathing my boss into loving my boss, IDK if I have the energy to do it.

    But yeah I'm not feeling manic, I am not feeling at all FUNCTIONAL either. I think it will have to be daytime Seroquel instead if needed because this isn't tolerable even slightly.

    Oh well. Life goes on. Sometimes unfortunately, I kind of think. Guess we will have to see.

    If I told my bosses how I really feel I would have been fired a long time ago. I've been with them a long time and I love them as people and they love me. They just don't do things fairly in my opinion as bosses. Sometimes, and they know this as me being the longest person in this department, I do speak my mind. And they do listen. I don't say much as I'm just a hard worker and just do my job, but when I speak they do listen sometimes. I tell myself they are my cash cows. I need a job and I need money to continue with the lifestyle I've built for my family. It has helped me to simply stay away from the more negative folks. I love my job though. I can retire in September. I may get more vocal after that since they can no longer fire me. But I probably won't...just suck it up buttercup and keep my mouth shut.

    Eh, less than half an hour until I get ready. This seems like cruel and unusual punishment. I'm not even caring about things working in my favor honestly. Something besides my own steam is gonna have to get me through this day, because it certainly won't be me, I don't think.

    I am Just Going to Try to Get Through the Day.

    I've had great bosses and awful ones, and yes I am quite clear on what I have to do, I just don't want to get fired. Etc.

    No curbside here. I was wondering if anyone is concerned that the virus could be on the food packages like some are concerned about mail.

    ETA: I think Publix does curbside, I will have to check that out.

    They have suspended curbside here due to too much demand. You can still get home delivery, sort of, but the dates are 2-3 weeks out, and getting a spot is like hitting the lottery. And you don't wind up getting half of what you order due to out of stock and no substitutes available. If I were you, I would put in for a delivery now, whether you need it or not. You can change/add to it for quite a while before delivery. I would also stock up in person now, as much as you can. It's only going to get worse before it gets better. Things you can't buy here right now: Any paper goods, cleaning supplies, frozen vegetables/fruits. Canned goods and meats seem to have been restocked quickly. They are low on eggs and dairy, but you can still find some. Bread is plentiful, so is fresh produce.

    We have 2000+ cases and 34 deaths so far. They have stopped testing anyone who is not in need of hospitalization due to lack of PPE. And the peak is not expected for another few weeks. Things started getting bad here around mid-March, so we are probably about 2 weeks or so ahead of you.

    Just remember it's probably all gonna work out better than our dire imaginings probably, I would think. I am getting ready in 10 minutes. Maybe I will feel better once I'm out of here. Right now I feel so corpselike, when death shows up (not soon, I'm just not that scared of this virus) well, IDK we will see.

    I agree with you and only wish I had learned all that when I was young. I always spoke up and expected things to be fair and it never was, world doesn't work that way. I was usually speaking up for others and it certainly didn't advance my career in the least. If I had it to do over again, I would keep my mouth shut and work to change things after I got into a better position to do so.

    I worked in the yard again yesterday. There is something about Spring that is so refreshing. Cleaning up everything. The flowers...I have a ton of yellow irises and some purple. Got all the leaves off the driveway where they collect in the corners. It was a beautiful day here in Alabama yesterday. Not too hot, not too cold with the sun shining and blue skies. ahhhhhh

    I am amazed with all this time at home that I haven't thrown myself into mixing. Maybe today I'll mix something up. I want to make more aged bourbon cream and to try hazulnut cream. :drool:
    I'm vaping hazelnut cream, right now.

    Just wear gloves and a mask if you've got them. My Mom had "wants" not "needs" yesterday but I didn't go to the store. Dad wanted pimento cheese. :blink: Nope...not gonna do it Dad. "Out there" scares me. I want to limit it. Be safe! I will eventually have to go if they extend working from home and I bet they do since Trump ordered an extension of social distancing until the end of April. This is just horrible.
    According to the experts, it's going to get a lot worse.

    It has put a halt to my move, I don't want to be on the road right now. I have decided to go to the grocery tomorrow early and stock up. Then I will hibernate as much as possible.
    Walmart is suppose to have senior times early on Tuesday mornings. Check with your local walmart as to exact times The way I read it was they open an hour earlier on Tuesdays just for 50+ people. The idea is suppose to limit exposure. Who knows if that works or not.

    :)

    My recommendation is to get more than you think you need. Not in a hoarding sense...just a little more. We have eaten a ton of food since all meals are now from home. And the dishes...goodness gracious I can't keep up with the dishes. It will also keep you from having to go back as often.
