Sigh. Well this morning has been swell. It was supposed to be a morning where I had one hour to myself because I don't have to go into work until 9 but yet work late. Instead, Jake puked everywhere, right as the school bus arrived. We had just gotten back into the rhythm of school again. So he's home today. That's life though. Ability to adapt. Some can. Others? Insist on ridiculous life measurements and achievements.
I'm not even upset about my own struggles/disruption as I can handle this new challenge. Jake has it worse. He's broken his arm, had the flu, now this norovirus, all while blind and facing significant extreme weather challenges. He's very sensitive and relies on the environment more than most.
Idk, for me when placed in care charge of such complexity, it becomes clear - that listening/obeying those who are demonstrating incompetence and unable to grasp the gravity of their actions - those individuals shouldn't be placed in positions of authority.
Anyway, not a fun morning but I'll deal with worse at work. I'm going to hope it doesn't spread to Julia because she's at school and I'm out of PTO. There are many people out there unable to grasp life complications exist and are inflexible in thinking. I don't typically have that problem at work but it's happened before and well, human nature. Somehow it's become acceptable to just pile onto those who are struggling versus lending a helping hand.
To me, the ability to lead and assist others as they endure hardship is a sign of strength and courage.
PM
Long day. Jake continues to be sick and with a fever. I have horrible bone pain, especially my back/spine. So much exhaustion. Going to cut this short.
