Thursday? in 2020

I forget what day it is sometimes. Yesterday I thought it was Saturday, but that’s because Wednesday sort of is my Saturday (since I work Monday and Tuesday), and also Rob and the kids were home all day so it felt like the weekend.

I ordered Chipotle from GrubHub last night because I didn’t feel like cooking. Turns out ordering Mexican on Cinco de Mayo is not the smartest thing to do. It took two hours for arrive, and I felt so bad for our driver because she had to wait forever at the restaurant. It was delicious when it did show up, though, and I tipped her really well.

Thank you for your comments on my last entry. I’m still processing what to do/say. I watched the lastest John Oliver today and he had an excellent segment on vaccine hesistancy and addressing specific concerns, I may just open by sending her that and seeing if she will discuss it with me. I’ve also been discussing my drafts with a very compassionate friend who pointed out there are really two things that bother me about the situation: first being that her health makes her vulnerable, so she should consider it, and second that her husband is such an emotionally abusive asshat. He’s actually implied (she wouldn’t say if he’d stated it outright but it was definitely implied) that he would consider divorcing her if she got the vaccine, even if she were to find out it was required in order for her to keep her job.

I really STRONGLY dislike this guy. He’s never treated her especially well, but she’s very fragile and I think she thinks he’s her only shot at not being alone. I hope I can find a way to voice my concerns that demonstrates that I see his behavior as controlling because I care about her, rather than just screaming “HE’S SUCH A USELESS PIECE OF SHIT, WHY DON’T YOU LEAVE HIM ALREADY?” which is what I’m constantly tempted to do.

I also attracted a troll with my last entry. Someone basically told me that I’m a piece of shit for telling someone else what to do with their body and that it’s a personal decision. I tried to engage rationally but finally had to block them. Fun times!

I’m flying to Florida tomorrow. My sister is turning 60 on Saturday and I’m going for a surprise visit. Her husband knows I’m coming but she doesn’t. It’s going to be great! It’s a quick trip, I’ll be home Sunday night.

Monday the library is going back to pre-covid hours, which means I’ll be working til 8pm on Mondays. It’s kind of nice, because I’ll work a full day Saturday and Monday and then half a day on Tuesday, and be off the rest of the week.
