Coping

 

My body is willing.  My mind is willing.

But some part of me is totally stressed out. I have fever blisters on my mouth and my skin is so thin it bleeds if I simply bump into the wall.

I guess that is getting older.

I am working five hour days wearing a mask right now and while I enjoy the children and the work is simple, just sweeping the floors and setting the table with food wears me out.

The company I work for is awesome. They provide great care for the children and they treat us with the utmost respect, but with both staff and children getting sick we are all working hard to maintain these standards. 

Next week should be better. I am only scheduled to work three days, so I have days off in between to rest. 

It feels surreal that my life is really very good, but I am very tired since the Covid.  I guess the upside is that mentally I am content, so maybe things will improve with time.
