mofongo , you sure we can't send you some gift cards for something? Sounds like you are managing a lot for everyone.
Thank you:) Just let me vent every once in a while lol. It’s not my first time, and I know I’m not alone in going through a natural disaster, or something catastrophic, but it’s such a weird feeling when people are fighting over gasoline and you don’t have potable water, and the rest of the world is carrying on as normal. As normal as can be with a pandemic! And so many have lost everything:(
ETA: Potable water has returned. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I get this feeling completely. There is nothing quite like a hurricane to make you feel forgotten. I'm thinking of you.
I’m embracing the GIVE NO FUCK FORTIES. Why did I deal with some of this shit for so long? Just in general.
Dude, it's the best. I'd say the last year or so (I'm 38) I've really leaned into it. I have no time for drama or people who are just draining emotionally or for shit I just don't want to do. I have no problem saying no anymore and I have no patience for nonsense.

I’m mid 30s H is closer to 40. Over the last two years we have been going in to the no fucks left to give. We are quick to tell people no or to tell them to help themselves first. It’s a great feeling to reclaim my time

Yessss. I’m 44 and I’d guess it started when I was about 38. I’ve gone balls to the wall burn it down, esp since Covid, and while I’m def still a crotchety old biddy, I am SO much happier. The most impactful was removing myself from the mom cliques and drama that goes along with it. While my social life “suffered” (did it really?? Bc the most prevalent emotion I feel when I see the photos of all the socializing is relief) I am so much more comfortable with myself and my relationship with my family, esp my oldest, has flourished.
Wow, a local company is paying employees $3k to get fully vaccinated.
And I was happy with the $200 my employer is giving us!
Hoping this increases our numbers. Not holding my breath. So many places offering $200 and people not taking them up on it. Overall vaccination rate 49%. Kids 12 to 17 is like 20%.
I had over 400 emails when I started my day and I am still not making much progress even though it’s nearly noon (edit: I wrote this and delayed posting. It’s 2pm and I’ve still made minimal progress). I am so overwhelmed. Lol
I just had a solid hour-long conversation with a coworker though and it’s always validating to talk to him and know that he trusts me as a sounding board.
I also have a headache and am really hoping the ibuprofen works.
Today is a "no meeting today" at work so I'm listening to the Murdaugh Murders podcast lol. The journalist's vocal fry is kind of annoying, but I'm getting over it.
Did you see that today Alex Murdaugh admitted to stealing money from his law firm?
I missed the original story, so this only came on my radar last week when he was shot. I am going to have to find the podcast. He certainly seems to be at the center of a lot of craziness.

YES. Shady shady shady, pretending he resigned when really he was pushed out the day before he called 911 to report he was shot.
I went to my first therapy appt in years this morning. What a breath of fresh air (not literally... we have hella bad air quality), but it was so amazing to talk to someone impartial who isn't emotionally invested in my life (my poor H has been carrying our family for way too long). I feel better just from pouring it all out, crying and getting validation for how hard things have been for me. Validation from an impartial person is amazing! I have an appt already set up for next week.

Is the consensus that he shot himself? Or hired someone to "graze" him? I think he murdered his family.

I just stood up to go give my dog a hug and as I got close to him he got up and ran away. Rude. Rude. Rude. I'll remember this when it's time to fill your bowl. Eh hem.

I don't know about consensus, but I think he set it up somehow. Whether he did it himself or had someone do it. The podcast has the 911 call when he found his wife and son and man, he might be a sociopath, but it sounded real to me. I can see motivation for killing Paul (at that point he was a liability to the family, I think he had something to do with the young man being killed too), but why would he kill his wife? Unless she knew about the money and was going to rat him out? The whole thing is so bizarre.
