Journal entry by Kelda Adair —
Yesterday I got up with Cara, got myself dressed and ready, and took Cara to school. I stayed long enough to say hi to my kiddos and do a little paperwork. That was enough to wipe me out the rest of the day.
Today it was a challenge just to get dressed. I was already tired before leaving the house. I dropped Cara off at school and stayed to say hi to a few people. I had a lunch meeting that lasted longer than I thought, came home and crawled in bed. I had a short video conference later in the day. I am toast!!!
I did fill out an application for the Family Medical Leave Act. Unfortunately they are backlogged for like 10 weeks. That means no paycheck for the next 10 weeks. We have exhausted our safety net and I am trying to figure out a way to keep us afloat until the funds kick in..... I am stressed!! That does not help with my healing, but I can't really turn it off, either.
I am heading to bed and saying a prayer that something will work out........ Nite all!
