ffloDidn't get a call for antibody treatment. Lookin' like I don't make that cut. In a way, maybe that's good? That is, if you trust the fundamental justice of their system. Which I can do, being fairly ignorant of it.
Blood oxygen staying around 97 or 98. Seems silly to check it, with no breathing difficulty. Maybe just to remember I can do that, if/when brain fog creeps in.
Today was probably easier that way as (a) I slept a lot, again, and (b) I blew off work, including 2 Zoom meetings. Heard later about yet another colleague retiring, and that they want the schedules for January by Dec. 10. I do want to be the coordinator of those, yet it ain't worth pushing myself for. Dec. 10 seems pretty far off now.
The 3rd is actually my 20th anniversary of working at that place. If they do it like they have been, that means a $200 bonus this year. I know, doesn't sound like a ton, for 20 years. We used to joke that it was a dollar a year rather than 10, saying a 5-year person was gonna get an extra 5 bucks. (They do it in the mutlipes-of-5 years.) Hey, don't get me wrong: I'm not complaining. It's a not-for-profit.
People have been checking in with me, all sweetly. My colleage offered to drive me to the ER if I need to, encouraging me not to worry about looking like a hypochondriac, if I do that, like she does. I do, sometimes. Almost didn't get tested for that very reason. Oh to have reached this age & stage of growth, finally, in which I will so often land on doing the self-care thing! It's a better way to live. It really is.
