Explaining to her how to prone herself.
Texting my dad with quarantine instructions for himself and everyone in my brother's household and everyone they saw over Xmas.
While at work.
Taking care of covid patients.

My current pt, I asked our MD what the plan is, and he was all, "find more people to carry the coffin" -- by which he means involve a few more services, so we can get this family to understand that the patient won't make it.
My husband asked if I should come home.
I can't.
Can't change anything for my mom, she's 3 states away.
Can't bone over my coworkers. My patient is a 1:1, we're gonna be short at 11 as is.
Told him my plan was just to be a mess on twitter so here we are.
Brace yourselves.
I can't.

Holding it together ok so far.
Work is good busy.
Shoving feelings into feeling hole.
Went to talk to my coworker whose dad bought a gun pre-election, worried about the 'antifa' and had a good, I FUCKING HATE FOX NEWS moment together.

Remembering when my parents told me, well 'we're killing the economy,' and 'God knows when it's your time' and I want to fucking fire hose that shit like a dragon now. I pushed back on it at the time, to no effect.
So angry still. More angry than anything else.

Basically doing what they were doing when they were doing it this was inevitable.
Except for the part where it didn't have to happen at all.

Made an appt for my psych md on my break.
Man its a really good thing I got my first vax shot.
If I hadn't, my mood, already wafer thin, would be subterranean.

Work wants me to stay for a 16.

I'm gonna go in tomorrow --
a) I might need to spend that sick day later in the months on edits for this book
b) I'll keep my easy assignment. My patient's going to die no matter what I do, so🤷♀️
the cold calculus of the covid nurse on full display here. Sorry it ain't pretty.

if they had a chance, I'd care more, but since they don't, barring a time machine and going back to pre-thanksgiving, it is what it is.
