ravena_kadeFriday was a better day, but work was still not easy. I asked the team lead if she can help me on Monday because I didnt want to have to work the weekend. I am tired. We go back to the office on the 7th of April. I have decided that if VISA is not moved from me by July I will openly go to HR and job hunt in the open. I know that when I change jobs I wont be able to schedule any DR appointments for my Dad or myself (as none ever seem available after work) for a year or more. Not something I want to happen...but I cant keep working under this amount of stress. A stress where a lot of it comes from how I am wired and want to be able to complete my job. We shall see.
Saturday I had my taxes done. I get $$ back, but it will go into home repairs. I also attended my first paint and sip with the family. We had fun even if the paintings were a little wonky ;-) The important thing is that we spent time with my 85 year old Uncle, the one who lost his wife in January. He has been lonely. The main cousins have had COVID in the house for 3 weeks so they could not have him over. It was good to see him. I told him that I would go over and show him some you tube videos for paining once his daughter gets his WIFI working.
I had also finished up the last ceramic item my Aunt was making for her daughter and I gave it to her. She was happy and sad and we cried...and I know the feelings she is feeling...and I know how much it hurts.
I also found out that my aunt knew she should have been in the hospital but refused since she knew there was no real treatment for her blood cancer and she would have died alone because of COVID...so she made the choice not to tell her family until it was too late.
Today was v=ceramics at the cousins. They went and picked up my Uncle so he could watch the baseball game with my Dad while the rest of the group did ceramics. It was almost like pre COVID times, except we all felt the loss of my Aunt. My Uncle seemed happy to be in the middle of a loud noisy group of people. It must be hard living alone. He had not been alone since he was 19...when he and my Aunt were married.
