@tgraf66 Sending you good thoughts and well-wishes, to you and your mom. And your boss sucks. I'm sorry you have to endure his selfishness.
If you can afford it everyone, Amazon has the same test kits that NYC gov't is giving out, if you stand in long lines. I ordered a few over the holidays. It only took a few days to arrive.
please friends
Wherever this post finds you, please send energetic healing and light to my body. I am in some pain and feel like a broken china doll.
Years ago a doctor told me I had degenerative disc disease. I rejected that out of hand. I tend to be "hardheaded"( my oldest student's assessment). But now I'm wondering?
I suffered a traumatic back injury in my late 20's, and a few reinjuries, and at my late 50's now, am still not healed. Besides overdoing it in the move and long drives for my one job, I am sometimes driven to move. I sometimes ignore the needs of my body being so much in my head. Now my poor body is SCREAMING at me, and I have been forced to sit still and listen.
The energetic wounds of trauma have been reverberating in me for longer than I can remember. Also, moving, leaves, and other straining has left me way behind the eightball. I always am able to bounce back up, but in the moment I am just trying to meditate this pain away and am staying mostly on my feet upright slowly moving. I am listening now to my intuition to tell me what to do next, which modality, ice, heat. Have been using stick on medicinal herbal patches. Then I rotate to ice, moist heat, heating pad.
I trust that I can heal myself. I have been to therapy for injuries more than once and know what exercises are best. I could just use an energetic lift.
thanks friends
@ghandigirl Done. Message "remember to exhale" came if that means anything to you.
Just to update and say thank you, I felt sort of "sick-ish" for about 24 hours, so I avoided being around my mom (as much as I could given that we live in the same house!) but it pretty well passed, and my mom doesn't seem to have been contracted anything. Since it has now been nearly a week, I am cautiously optimistic that we're going to be okay. Thank you to @jeanne-mayell, @lynnventura, and anyone else who sent healing and light. *hugs* ??
@ghandigirl Sending Light,Love and Healing Energy for you to use as you wish and need. On the heading to 70 side of my 60's I took care of everyone else all my life at the expense of my own body. Having a high pain tolerance and life choices of being a single mom and a physically demanding job my own body is like a high mileage Honda... it's got about 350,000 + miles and spotty maintenance records LOL.
I get where you are coming from. My message I got this year? Was... tend to and care for yourself first. It's your time for you now. I think ? You are getting the same message...attend to your body's needs and apologize to it for using it so hard and LOVE it back to health. It's marvelous machine!
I did say "*cautiously* optimistic"....*sigh* Mom texted me just after lunch today to let me know that she woke up with a stuffy, runny nose and a slight temp. I told her she needed to call her doctor to see about getting tested, but she refused saying that she doesn't need a test, it's not covid, just a cold, etc. ugh....
Anyway, I told my primary supervisor about it, and he said to finish out the day and make sure I was following protocols, and to get tested as soon as possible. However, there are no rapid tests available anywhere around me, the ones I ordered from Amazon have been delayed for supply reasons, and I can't get a drive-through appt for at least two weeks. In the meantime, since mom refuses to get a test, I have to act as though I have been exposed and quarantine appropriately. Except that I live with my mom, so I can't really get away from it. (cue loud internal screaming).
One of my co-workers said he had an extra rapid test I could have, so I'm going to take him up on that, but I need to wait 48 hours after first exposure to a symptomatic person to get an accurate result, so I can't test until Monday. In addition, I can't return to work until five days after a negative test, so whether I like it or not, I'm off next week.
Oh, when I informed my secondary supervisor at the end of the day and told him I was going home, he started berating me and telling me that I shouldn't go home because I would be exposing myself to whatever my mom had and that I should get a hotel (!) and stay there. When I explained that I couldn't afford to do that, he said that I *could* afford it, I just didn't *want* to, and that I was exposing myself on purpose just to get some time off (yes, I put up with this kind of crap from him all the time, god knows why, and yes, I did tell my primary supervisor about it and told him to tell the secondary supervisor to kindly go f*** himself).
Keep any good vibes coming, I think I may need them.
I totally hear you my friend. Totally.
I am so sorry you are dealing with a secondary boss who is living in a different reality. Such lack of understanding and caring. I am sure this is very upsetting for you and wish you and your mom good health and a lot of love.
My daughter's principle just berated one of her fellow teachers for staying home a 5th day with covid . She still had symptoms, though they were less than yesterday which was not a great day for her. He even went to HR to make sure the teacher would not get paid today because he feels teachers with covid are only mildly sick and just want to stay home after 5 days are up and felt this was the case with her, his "expert opinion". (They aren't supposed to come to work if they still have symptoms, she had them.)
Earlier in the week he berated his own child for "faking" being sick in front of others at school when in fact that child had a high temp and was covid positive.
He also did not follow covid protocol for the district, tested positive for covid and has now exposed everyone because he doesn't wear a mask and went to school while sick before getting test results.
Not sure how much longer she will be able to morally or emotionally work under his "leadership" anymore.
I am hopeful his current experience with his personal covid issue now will be a smack in the head, face and butt and make reality and humanity a thing again for him, if they ever were a thing. I don't want anyone to get sick, but I do want him to get woken up and open his eyes. And his heart.
How can these people be in leadership positions during a pandemic?
Yes that is very helpful. I had a bad asthma episode that exacerbated the back pain, or vice versa.and tend to hold my breath if in pain. I feel my dad behind the words.
@journey with me2
Exactly. I also have a high threshold for pain. I become triggered when in this much pain, with upsetting memories. This doubles the pain. My challenge is to stay in the moment and I have been thanking my younger self for getting me this far.
How are you feeling?
@tgraff66
Ugh that is awful/and sounds frustrating. holding you in light and protection.
@loveendures
There are way too many of these people in education! Also thank you for your beautiful and powerful prayers to everyone here.
@everybody
Thank you for the support, it neans a lot, and it helps a lot,
Mom has a cough, dad had a cough, brother under the weather but says he’s fine. Dad and brother negative for Covid. All triple vaccinated, not too worried but concerned since mom was coughing more today on the phone then yesterday.

OK, so I kind of don't even want to ask for help for this person because he is willfully unvaccinated, are his wife (my cousin) and children. But I will gird myself up and send him energy and I hope perhaps others will, too. John B. in central Florida is almost 80 years old and hospitalized with COVID-related pneumonia. I kind of feel like he deserves it, but I have to remind myself he is a victim of brainwashing as well as a victim of COVID. Please, if you can manage it, send some healing energy to my cousin's husband John. Thanks.

Prayers being said for him, his family and prayers that the emotional wounds for all (you included) be healed as well. May love pour over everyone and fill any areas in your spirits which are hallow and in pain.
It is easier to send love to someone when we feel they don't understand what they have done or that they have been led astray. Glad you thought of that to help you.

Last week my dad was driving me to a medical appointment and the song "Sweet Surrender" by Sarah McLachlan came on the radio. Of course I couldn't hear it, but I knew that song from before I lost my hearing, so I knew the lyrics. Surrender is what I've been doing lately, because I'm facing too many headwinds for me to just push away or deal with solitarily. I'm leaning into whatever support I can get from my spirit guides (let them do some of the heavy lifting) and here in the 3D. I will probably continue to proceed in this manner for the next few months.
This does not mean I am giving up on pursuing tasks of my own volition. But I'm at the point where I mentally shut down whenever someone suggests I do something more. I already have in mind what I want to complete and I don't wan't to do anything else. Really, I just want to be granted a miracle healing.

Your post resonates with me as the right direction for you -- let your guides do the heavy lifting. They are doing it. Everywhere you go, I see you in the arms of an angel.
