Sick & Tired in Life

Of Pam’s Shit!

Nah, just playin’ It’s not going to be one of those entrires. Pam and I have really been working on communication lately and I think we’ve adjusted to the ‘new normal’ of the situation. Although she’s still trying to figure out a routine and flips it willy-nilly which drives me insane (As a person who likes to stick to a strict routine) but I’ll adjust too. Adjusting to change is one thing we both do really well, despite our emotions involved around the change.

But lately I’ve been doing that whole “I’m sick every week” thing again where it’s a constant battle with my sinuses. Realistically it’s probably allergies but thanks to my short time in Electroplating I now have this ‘to-do list’ mentality when it comes to problems and wanting to solve them. Especially when it comes to my health as of late. So I’ve done the Drink Water, Get Exercise, Fresh air etc and it was going well, then everyone decided to mow their 5inches of grass and danilions and I almost had a panic attack in a grocery store because I was so stuffed up I couldn’t breathe with the mask on so that was a fun escalation of events. I’m not sure what I’m going to do about that moving forward. Regular allergy stuff doesn’t seem to work (Claratin) anymore, at best it keeps it down to a dull throbbing in my nose and prevents me from sneezing too much.

Urgh, I just want to not be sick for a couple of months like I was when I was younger. So I started back tracking to when I was younger and cut out Pop and beer and all that ‘bad’ shit which worked out well until the heat wave came and I couldn’t really get outside anymore. Now it’s 5 degree’s and rainy and that doesn’t make for great ‘outside’ fun either.

My world view is starting to make my anxiety spike again so I’m probably gonna buy CBD drops today because I’d rather deal with that now.

I’ve also been working on my writing a lot more, maybe as an escape maybe as an escape for my american friends who are in the campaign. The latter of the two I just realized today that it might be something I need to do as DnD Sundays might be what they need to get away from their current situations in life. So I’m hoping to get around to Episode 1 by the end of this month.

We’re in June already people!! Where the hell has the time gone. I never thought time could move so quickly while we’re stuck in doors getting paid to sit on our butts. But I guess that allowance ‘ends’ this month? I think it was only ‘till May or that’s what Pam tells me. Still I’m going to call next Tuesday and see. It’s an automated service so I’ll find out pretty quickly. We’ll still be ‘fine’ without it but we wont be saving as much as we currently are.

The BLM Civil War movement is taking off in the States and Picking up Steam here in Canada (We’re slow to move) It’s going to be interesting to see how it all plays out. On one side this is a momentous time for minorities to be treated equally, on the other hand your president is a tyrant. Based on the world of “two weeks and we forget about it” I’m curious how much fuel this movement has in it. And I also don’t get why it’s so hard to make the change? Like… “People are saying there’s an issue with cops killing black people” (and there is, I’m not saying there isn’t)
“Okay, anyone who kills someone on their shift gets detained for 24-72 hrs while we review all the footage and witnesses” Like… There. Done. I’m not saying that this would solve all the injustices of the BLM situation but it would sure as shit make people think twice in these detainment situations where people are dying due to excessive force.

I dunno, I’m so far disconnected from the situation (Being a white male raised in a small country town and then a small country city) it’s hard to say what the ideal solution is but seriously, making any change at this point is a step in the right direction… Well… any change other than calling an act of domestic terrorism…

Oof, what a world we live in, and what a world it will become after the fires settle.
