I can’t cope

[tyme]

At least you didn't have it on New Year's Even like me! @Captain24  

Congratulations! You have passed the test - the COVID test lol. (Jokes)

How'd you get COVID? Haven't you just been at home? The symptoms sound very COVID-ish.

Do you have COVID leave at your work? 

Besides this, guess what? Ruby fell in to the pool today. Thank God I was there to catch her. But she fell right in... she was as shocked as me. 

She was following me up and down the pool on the side, then she slipped and fell in.... 

So I had to get her out and wash her.

New year would have been better as I didn’t have to work. @tyme I have to work the next 2 nightshifts! I don’t have any sick leave. Im hoping that sleeping all day tomorrow will lift some of the symptoms. 

I haven’t been feeling well for the last 2 days I just put it down to being tired with everything going through my head. 

I don’t know how I got it. I don’t go anywhere other than work. But it’s been the same every other time. This is now 6 times and it’s the worst I’ve had it. 

Oh.. poor Ruby. Did you see if she can swim or did you just grab her? My two can swim but Jett hates it! 

A bath so soon after her groom.

Well, nowadays, you can still work if you have covid. @Captain24  I just hope you feel better. Having COVID sucks. Six times! Yikes! Maybe your body is more susceptible to illness because you are so worn out?

And poor Ruby. She was so shocked. She's never swam so I don't know if she can swim. I'm not ready to try. It's a deep pool. 

And she hated the wash after - yes, so soon after her groom yesterday...

Please rest up

[Captain24]

Maybe @tyme. Between nightshifts and my really unstable mental health it could be it. I’ve been doing stupid risky things of late with no care factor. So I’m not doing well. 

Im not going to tell anyone. Just keep it to myself unless I can’t go. That’s $500 a night. I should be right by Tuesday night though. It shouldn’t last that long. I’m hoping they do drug tests tomorrow night and I get sent home for failing it. 

My two have only swum in the ocean as we don’t have a pool. I’m not sure that I’d put them in if I had one. 

Does she not like a bath? 

I’ve taken my meds correctly so if I stop replying I am safe I’ve just fallen asleep. 

[tyme]

Just do what you can @Captain24 . Can't push yourself anymore than what your body lets you.

I'm had 2 very upsetting days which I'm working through. I'm at peace that everything will be okay, but it's about sitting with these heavy emotions for a bit. I took meds at 6:30pm so hopefully straight after I log off, I can sleep - not looking promising though. I just don't want to stay up thinking.

I think Ruby will be okay with the beach as she can touch the bottom. But when she fell into the pool, she was fully submerged. 

Please take care if I don't speak to you again tonight. I look forward to catching up with you on Wednesday when I'm on.

Hope your fever breaks soon and you can rest up.

[Captain24]

Are you ok? @tyme 

[tyme]

Nothing I can't get over @Captain24 . It'll take some time though. I think I'll 'get over' it once I go to Sydney on Friday. 

But yes, it's been very tough yesterday and today. I can't go into it much as I'm just keeping it to myself for now. 

Thanks for asking anyway.

Such is life.

[Captain24]

You’re in my thoughts @tyme. I hope you can ‘get over it’ quickly. 

Im going to sleep now I will talk to you Wednesday. 

[Captain24]

So I was walking around the supermarket with Covid and then I run into nans husband. He is around 95 I had to tell him to keep his distance as I had a cold. Normally he hugs me. 

Im still feeling really shitty. The body aches are intense. My head is still pounding. I just feel miserable.

My SI is still really high. The temptation is there. 

[Ru-bee]

I'm so sorry to hear that you're ill with covid @Captain24 especially having it so many times!

It's a rotten illness to have, I hope it passes quickly.

Are you feeling able to distract yourself from these thoughts today and keep safe? Or do you need to give Lifeline or SBCS a call? 

Here to chat today and offer distraction if you need it
