Remote learning was tense today because yesterday my coworkers almost got into a political argument on our group work text. I was ignoring it bc I felt uncomfortable but one of my coworkers went on a rant about how she would appreciate it if we could keep the group text messages to a minimum outside of working hours and how it was wearing on her mental health. All fair. I think it rubbed the other two coworkers the wrong way though bc this morning on our conference call it was dead silence, when normally we’d at least be chatting. But I think everyone’s anxieties are running high and remote learning is so new that we’re still getting used to it. So hopefully it’ll blow over.

I’m getting pain in my back and hips from sitting in bed all day. I sit straight up as I would in a chair but my legs are obviously out in front of me. Plus a cushy bed doesn’t support as well as a chair. But my room is the only quiet space in the house. Unless I ask my son to use his room while I’m on the call. He has a desk and a chair. Might be better for me. I’ll ask him.

I’ve decided I need to stay off fb as much as possible. All the news coming in just makes me anxious or my head explode with anger. So I need to limit it. The only people I really want to stay in touch with right now are my brother’s family, my mom, my grandparents, and perhaps my sister in law (but not really Atm) and mother in law from time to time. I can call/text all of those people. So no need for fb.

Hoping to get good sleep tonight. Last night was fraught with disaster scenarios.
