I was definitely over-optimistic in my writing last month. Although I still believe it need not have come to this - or whatever happens next. The fault lies in the slowness of our governments to act, their prioritising of money over lives, and the prolonged gutting of public services they have engaged in over decades. Things would still be bad, but not as bad.
I'm still home from work but considering I might be recovered or nearly-so from whatever sickness has been troubling me. Contact from my supervisor at the end of last week told me they're now requiring people be certified fit to work before they come back in, so perhaps tomorrow I will contact my GP's office and ask if they can book me in for an exam. Still suffering some other health issues including pain along my left side, which I can hopefully address by replacing my desk chair (being optimistic). Still trying to arrange a remote appointment with an endocrinologist so I can get my prescriptions replaced.
Sometimes denial goes a long way?
One reason I haven't been journaling is I've been focusing on my studies and getting through the readings for those. I'm being steadily about a week or two ahead of where we're supposed to be for the class. Which, given I started on the material about a week or two before the class formally began, means I'm just about keeping the pace we're expected to keep. Managing that pace generally means by the time I've got through the material I don't have much energy left for other activities, so, continuing to be quiet here.
On the other hand, I'm coughing more than I was the past few days (had a cough last week, just about disappeared by yesterday morning). So maybe I won't be going back to work.
Really I shouldn't be going back to work. No one should whose work isn't essential, and while libraries are important, right now it is more important not to have people gathering in numbers in confined spaces. There's the electronic resources but I have no access or control over those. But until I get the word not to come back in... well, so long as I'm sick it isn't so difficult a decision.
