I survived the week

Only half of who should have been in lab were. SIGH. But other than that, it finished out okay.

It was my non-work life that was annoying AF. The post office's phone has rang busy for 2 days and even another post office couldn't raise them (I asked what used to be my p.o. to call them) This means I had to drive to Oak Hill which is about 10 miles from work. Now to get home from there either I drive back to work and then home (@ 15 miles) or all the way into Jackson and back home (@ 20 miles) OR I can go cross country (@ 9 miles) I knew that coming home from the post officewould involve leaving the paved road but you should be able to tell Garmin NO MFing goat paths. Seriously one road it wanted me on was barely wider than a bike trail. I heard banjos... I finally found a dirt road I deemed acceptable and seriously HOW can I be on a dirt road and yet end up behind a cement truck?

And why was this necessary? As I guessed, they forgot to take the hold off my mail. I had two Redbubble art packages, Aiden Thomas's Cemetery Boys and Leanna Renee Hieber's Summoning of Souls. Thomas's book almost didn't make it to me. I think they ran the amazon box over.

I've cooked every day in this long week so today I get fried chicken at Oak HIll's KFC, breast and wing. Get home. It's a fucking thigh. I LOATHE dark meat. Hot dogs and ramen for dinner. Normally I look but I was so tired I didn't remember to and my repayment is a thigh. Gag.

Then I find out Direct Tv doubled my payment. I complained. An hour of chatting later (in the time of Covid we'll see what we can do) nothing, they're like screw you and the supervisor didn't even bother to comment to me other to answer one question and it took me asking 4 times for that and then he signed off the chat rather than address my issues. I plan on calling customer retention and ask about a buy out and go back to DISH because I'm sorry 180$ seems excessive.

And then I open my mail to find out I can't get public service deferment because I don't have the right type of loans. I'm crushed.

I had two weird dreams but I can only remember one. Mother and I were staying at Grandma's house. For some reason we were sleeping in the living room. At first we had a double bed (which was in there for a while before Grandma finally went into a home). I kept going back and forth between there and the bathroom (though to do that I'd have to go thru the dining room and kitchen but I never saw them in the dream) and every time I went to the bathroom, Grandma's bedroom door was open and a light was on. I knew someone was in that room but I couldn't make myself look in (my grandma has been dead five years now). Every time I went back to the living room with Mom, the bed had changed. By the time this happened several time, the bed was a half deflated air mattress.

My second dream was even weirder. I was in a hospital (I don't know why) I was in an elevator with several people, too many. For some reason I was taking my mask off when an inattentive mother with a kid got too close. Her kid coughed and bloody sputum hit the elevator wall and my face. I was freaked out. I tried to get out and find someone to help me. Somehow I ended up outside the hospital, barefooted and the parking lot was all mud. By the time I got back inside I was feeling sick and angry because a mother had let her child get that sick and to be around others coughing on them. Also I had muddy feet and couldn't find a doctor.
