Returning to work after quarantine

  Where I work, you can be put off for quarantine for a number of reasons.  If you get tested you are automatically quarantined at home until your results return and then longer if it comes back positive.   While waiting for the results, especially if you are having symptoms, can be the most stressful time ever.  The unknown is especially scary for those who have health issues.

  I have been in quarantine twice while at my current job and the 1st time was because of being near a positive person.  The second was because I had the symptoms and went and got tested.  I had a lot of trouble breathing and the fever was all over the place.  I thankfully turned out to be negative. 

  I have been home from work for a week now and I will be returning tonight.  Most days I love my job but there are days I want to throw my shit down and walk out or not show up at all.  Regardless of how it makes me feel sometimes, I put my big girl panties on and go to work because I have a family to support.  We will ignore the shopping addiction that working also helps support until another day.

  I am blessed to be an essential worker during these trying times.  I understand that we are stressed beyond measure and very underappreciated.   We do what we do because we care.

  I'll end this here since I have to get ready for work but I hope everyone reading this has a blessed day.

Much love xoxo
