I had a pretty rough week this week to say the least. My dad has been in the hospital multiple times for heart related issues, and yesterday he was quarantined while we waited for results from his test because he was showing symptoms of the virus. I also found out that my mom needs to have surgery Tueaday because she has arteries in her heart that are blocked. I also had to deal with a relatively shitty rash on my face and neck, and I think I'm allergic to one of the stuffed animals I bought recently. Yesterday my coworkers (we only have 5 people working right now to minimize people being in the building) got into a huge fight and it made me extremely anxious for most of the shift. It was all around a really rough week for me.
With all of that being said, I want to name a few things that I'm grateful for this week. One of those is the obvious; I'm THRILLED my dad tested negative, and because of this situation both of my parents are now taking the virus seriously, which they weren't before. Also, because of the huge fight at work, we all made up and it reminded us how thankful we are for the 5 of us being a family and so close. I would not be surviving this situation if my coworkers weren't here with me. I'm also coming to realize just how amazing it is gonna be when we will be free again, which makes me feel a weird kind of gratitude for the life I was born into. Yes, right now everything is weird, but the life I was given prior to this, and the life I will live after this, is 100% something to be thankful for.
I hope you're all having an okay week, and if not I hope you're able to find the good in it anyways. Everything is mega fucked right now, but we will get through it and we all have so many plans for after. I know this is scary, and we dont know what to expect day to day, but once this is over we will be okay.
