Today is a day I have been dreading since Feb 2020. As my job title has changed permanently thanks to Covid, I received a call from 1 of my clients.. She had the horrible task of informing me that her police officer husband and father of their 2 children passed away last Friday- he just couldn't cope with all the grief and stress that comes with the job. We talked for a few more minutes, and bless her heart- she thanked me for doing all I could within my power to try to prevent this. She literally said she doesn't blame me at all and he made the decision himself.
I haven't gotten emotionally choked up since watching my mini me boy getting born. Needless to say I have been up since 3:30am, it's 8:05am now- running through events of the last umpteen months trying to spot any flaws in my assistance, maybe I could have said/done more that might have changed his decision?
ARGH.. I don't drink alcohol at all just because I don't like the taste.. I have some rum at home for the odd/urgent occasion. I might have a big glass tonight.
:-(

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

And you will blame yourself, but you shouldn’t. These things are beyond our control no matter what we do. Condolences.

Sometimes our best isn't enough it's just a cruel hand of fate, i thought the same when dad died should we insisted he go in hospital sooner but i realized it was his time no matter the choices we made. Don't beat yourself up bro your good man & i know you'd helped him best you could.

I feel like a hypochondriac. Every little sniffle or tickle in my throat makes me think I have Covid. I tested myself 3 times in the past week, all negative. Whew.

TIL my older cousin and his wife tested positive a week or two ago... and now their 5-year old is also positive. They also have an infant in the home. Parents are both vacc'd, but we don't think the children are.
I'm not sure how to discuss this appropriately so I'll leave it at that.
In more personal news, I'm even more immobilized than usual right now (normally I've got pretty incapacitating chronic pain as a result of another issue) -- a dislocated patella. Or so I assume. If you were considering dislocating your own patella, I'd recommend against it: it's not as fun as you'd imagine.
