Happy Belated Birthday to Shir

Karl i like that.

I feel like I've got no energy and I've been worried...is it something weird and medical ? Is it depression? Is it perimenopause/menopause (if i make it to October that will make 12 months no period).

Or is it that when it hasnt been ungodly hot it's been ungodly humid. At work we haven't had an overnight team lead in almost 3 months and overnight workers aren't even trying. So most days instead of doing most of my job I end up cleaning up their freight. We also have 3 people on medical leave, 2 people in the same department got fired. And there has been no one to work picking grocey orders on most days between 2-5 . And there have been call outs so some days all I do is pick groceries. And try to get my stuff done as fast as possible.

We have one assistant manager who has gone from kind useless to completely useless . And today i was putting out leftover freight but have gotten side tracked because everything is wrong and I'm having to check counts and move things around.

So maybe I'm just getting overheated at work and fed up with dealing with all this and when I'm off I don't want to deal with people and self soothe amd relax..

Occam's Razor suggests this one, askye. Although perimenopause/menopause is no joke. I'm currently listening to the 3-part Ologies podcast about menopause, and it is full of good info: [link]

That all sounds exhausting, askye. But could be piled on top of the perimenopause thing to be even worse.

Steph I'll have to chsck that out.

A lot of it is just mentally exhausting and the store manager thst just left was good in a lot of ways but not in holding certain people accountable. I'm hoping that our next manager will be firm but kind and because it's not just me that is feeling overwhelmed with all of this.

I know previous store manager told someone in the meat department they needed to help in produce and the guy just...refused.

In good news M and I finally have some rails set up on the walls so we can display more comics. It looks really good.

Here is kind of a shot of our comic books. It was mostly M showing how he posed the stuffed animals

Nice!

Fabulous!

My menopause thing(as my thing in general if I feel off) is that I vomit. A lot. We bought some extra fans, so it's been a few weeks now, and, you know, I'm a chucker, but it's a little better. Guessing it's the extra heat--almost wrote "heart"---Dr. Freud would say there are no typos, I'm not sure myself. (Also, weirdly, somewhat hard to recognize, compared to, say, Nausea Classic, in that there is more discomfort and pressure than queasiness, really, up until the pivotal moment.) I hate that I always have to wonder if that is about reflux or a CP thing(doctors want stuff to be a CP thing cause they don't have to know and they could "What are you gonna do?" it, but because this is not puberty there are no bigger girls to take cues from-- I am the older girls, and doing my usual bang-up job of it, too. I got Rick-rolled, sort of, at the DMV getting my ID updated.

That suuuuucks, erika (the nausea, I don't feel as strongly about getting Rick-rolled these days although I am curious how the DMV would manage it!)
