Glad you are enjoying this new relationship. It sounds like he is a nice, normal guy and he is really treating you the way you deserve. I'm jealous that y'all can just hop into the city like that. I'm dying to visit NYC.

Well, it has been an exceptionally bad 24 hours. Mostly for others connected to me. Last night my friend who just got married texted us and asked for prayers for her dad as her mother and father were on vacation in the Philippenes..... he had a massive stroke. Today she found out he died. She had to start hopping planes to get to her parents..... she’s absolutely devastated. She’s an only child, her and her husband and her parents love together. Her parents just retired.... he was the happiest proudest father of the bride and couldn’t wait for his first grandchild...... I just know her pain is so great. He was such a wonderful man.
I couldn’t sleep this morning and I was up at 4:30am. Me and D 12 got into some nice arguments. Then I get to work and find out my aunt is on my unit because she tried to kill herself. But because of her dementia. She doesn’t even remember it. My cousin is at wits end, my uncle doesn’t know what to do, and she has to get admitted to a psych hospital. My aunt’s room would have technically been my patient but I gave it to my counterpart. My friend SW also handles the psych cases. My cousin is already texting me with “this one should have done this or that” and she is so frustrated and I can feel it coming out towards me. I get it.
My exhaustion is an all time high. I got out of work late again. D12 is in Brooklyn with her her friends and mom at a restaurant to see a band. She will be home at 10:45. E will be over around 8 and be gone before she gets home. I will most likely fall asleep on him, lol. He takes anytime he can to spend with me and is flexible.
He is laid back and handles situations well. I never usually take advantage of my proximity to NYC, but I’m glad we did last weekend! It gets a lot more fun in the better weather.
I’m just beat. And so sad for everyone. Wish I could make it all better for them
So sorry Ginger, I hope everything gets better soon! Seems like everyone is getting hit with life's poop sandwiches lately, I know I've had a few flung my way!
Thanks guys. It’s been exhausting to say the least.
Not much to report, and generally I don’t even have the mental fortitude to say much. I basically work a lot. I worked at the other hospital Monday and Tuesday. So double pay!!! That will be nice I think I’m going to treat myself to this fancy haircut for curly hair I want.
E was supposed to come over tonight and we were going to cook dinner together , but he hasn’t slept in 2 nights and thinks he’s getting sick. So I’m solo tonight. Enjoying my salmon dinner alone. We saw each other for a few hours Saturday. It was nice he made it work with the few hours I had just to see me. Saturday I work, but after we will have date night and he’s going to stay over. I’m pretty much all over the board with my feelings. He is definitely growing on me. He has his quirks, he’s a lot different than other guys I’ve dated, and we are still getting to know each other. I do feel more comfortable with him as time goes on. He sent me to a link to a concert he wants to in august with me. Kind of funny it’s at the same place M and I tried to see an outdoor concert out, but some sort of tornado ripped through right before the concert started and equipment was flying off the stage. Maybe we I’ll have better luck, lol
Otherwise I am just trying to stay afloat. But I am definitely mentally exhausted
