@nelysthealchemist you would think that as much as employers are bitching about not being able to keep workers right now, that they could be a little more accommodating. Maybe some other company would like you to work for them?
Anyways, congrats in advance, on your little one. It might be the 1st baby of the new year. And the 1st baby of this forum (as far as i know)! Yay!
My due date is actually January 1st, too! I will definitely be keeping you all updated on the baby. ;) :)
I actually really love my job, for the first time in my life, and I was really impressed with how they had been handling COVID and keeping us all safe. Maybe that’s why I was so shocked/disappointed in how they’ve been handling everything since May/June and especially in the last week or so- it was unexpected and I felt somewhat betrayed, even though I’m personally protected by my accommodation to telecommute full time (for now). I really hope they change their tune fast, because when school starts up again in a week or so and they aren’t making any COVID- specific exceptions for anyone, things are going to get ugly really quickly. I feel guilty that the best I could do in the last week or so was to call my union rep and express my concerns.
hey friends
I am almost done my two week self quarantine.I do my own Covid test where I taste peanut butter and smell coconut shampoo. So far so good.
Every day I cry at missing my daughter. I send a little card from time to time. This is the worst emotional pain I have ever had to bear. I am strong of course and made of iron, but being in the fire so much is draining.
I feel so hurt and abandoned. I feel regret and shame. I feel so many things so deeply I can become overwhelmed.
Although the angels are sending me feathers, I feel cut off from them. I feel cut off from G-d and have to really work at not exacerbating my depression or anxiety. I try to stay in the moment but everything reminds me of her, and it is another day without her. I have lost her, and I doubt it will ever heal.
@ghandigirl I am so sorry for your pain. Miracles happen....don't give up.
Any protection you can send to my two kids would be greatly appreciated.
They start school on Monday with no covid protocols in place, not even contact tracing or case reporting. Masks are a fantasy. (Mine will be wearing them, of course, but will still be around non-maskers all day.) I cannot believe what is happening in my area.
Trying to have faith and not give into fear. Very hard!
@sistermoon I used to live in Southern Chester County PA. Absolutely loved it there. Gov. Wolf and Attorney General Shapiro are amazing- but the state legislature is batsh%t crazy. So sorry your family has had this thrust upon you at the last minute- making other choices difficult. Saying prayers of protection and sealing you kids on white light now ❤️
Thank you so much - we are in Bucks, it's just looney tunes around here right now.
UNIVERSAL LOVE! SERENITY NOW!
@ghandigirl I am sorry you are feeling this way right now. I can send you light, love, peace and prayers. We are in difficult days but we are not alone. You have so many sending you love and care. Please hang into that until things lighten up. I know I’m feeling it too, many are. You’re not alone. ❤️?
@sistermoon I will add my request to yours. My grandchildren start soon. They are 3 and 6. We do have protocols but many are trying to fight it. I’m in NJ. Plus we are seeing quite a bit of breakthrough cases of fully vaccinated people. I’m sending out prayers for all of us and ask that you join me. The anxiety is creeping in and it’s a constant battle to push it back. I’m concerned for my older daughter. Hers is debilitating. Peace and love everyone. ?
@sistermoon in this case, your fear is an appropriate response. I would not send my kids into a school with a majority of people conforming to an anti science, maskless and vaccine-less crowd of people. There will likely be covid exposure in that school. The delta variant is infecting young people at higher rates than the alpha variant probably because it is twice as infectious, although so far the data show it still may be less dangerous for kids. But there is so much we don't yet know.
@sistermoon, I forgot to say that I trust your decisions because you are awake, and doing all you can to protect your children. I just wanted to remind you that your fears are appropriate. I sent angels to your kids and two of them show me they are staying with your children wherever they go and then they form themselves into shields of protection around them when they sit down.
