Not okay. I distressed other people today in the process of dealing with my own stresses. Not going into further details.

I'm not saying something that I think you don't know, but it may help to hear it from "outside": even when you want to take care of other people, you've gotta take care of yourself or you can't do for the others either.

My power has been out since 11:30 last night, it’s the second time this year, and I know a bunch of others are in similar straits, but being in a cold, dark place, trying to conserve my phone battery, and not being able to use the computer, is getting so stressful! I want a hot drink and to turn on the TV! /whine

[ride_4ever]

Oh noes! Wish I could provide you with a hot drink and a TV show!

(Is the power outage related to the flooding?)

[elayna]

It’s more the rain being so ferocious that it’s knocking over trees that are falling on power lines and bringing them down. So the flooding itself is not the problem but what’s causing it is.

I hope it gets restored quickly.

Despite being cautious about where i go, and masking reliably, i have managed to pick up something (not the 'rona) which is making me ever so slightly feverish and oh, so tired. At a point where there is no slack in my work, but I have to take time off because I can't think well enough to code.
