Its been busy and kind of bad leaning TBH.
I'm an office worker at an after school program but at various points have been called as back up because the kids are here all day this week because of Spring Break Camp. Made getting my usual work done a tad difficult.
Also my car died last week and now I have to go car shopping which is going to make me unexpectedly broke. But at least I have the financial cushion to handle it, I know a lot of people don't usually.
Went to the doctor yesterday and they said I'm on track for a high blood pressure diagnosis so now I got to reduce my sodium, caffeine, & alcohol I guess and probably take up meditation or yoga or something. Which is unfortunate because I'm a sucker for salty foods and I legit need coffee. I don;t mind getting more exercise though I've been meaning to start doing push ups in my office anyway.
I also don't think I'm going to be able to get myself to chill because I question to effectiveness meditation vs work, my love life, my financials, and the state of my country which are all currently in turbulence. To much shit to handle all at once.
One minor bright spot is this weekend I'm opening an account with a Credit Union as they're adding my organization to their list of Select Employer Groups and I figure considering how fucked our economy is going to get, having my money in multiple places probably couldn't hurt. And Credit Unions are generally an improvement on banks.
I feel for you. Stay strong and focus on you. Don't let the news get you down.
Sorry to hear
