Halloween Fourth

It's been a rough transition going back to work this time around. I want it to be Friday already. And I know I'm not working very much, but it's that when life is supposed to go smoothly, it throws out the spike strips to slow you down.

I'm currently sitting in the dentist office with Loki. His not-so-loose tooth is hurting him. We went through the same kinda thing with Bellini, and she ended up having teeth pulled. Mind you, I'm supposed to be away work in less than an hour.

Bellini also woke up with a sty in her eye. We're waiting that one out since it's not urgent and I can likely treat it myself.

Fast forward to the afternoon. I'm sitting in the ER with Mark now. His back isn't doing so hot. We need to figure things out before vacation next week.

On top of all this, Bellini is a little under the weather at school, but doesn't want to come home. At least that's one less extra errand for me for now. Let's see how things are when I pick her up later.

It doesn't help me that work is crazy, and not the good crazy. I feel like a lot of things got left for me to do when I came back from leave. People keep quitting left and right. No one is happy. The main word I heard today was "disrespected." My team, the people I enjoy working with, feels like they are getting the shit end of the change stick. So many changes happening without any explanation of the whys and hows or even room for questions. It feels like a dictatorship in which the people pay for the short comings of the leader. It makes me so unhappy.

I actually couldn't hold back tears today. I think I've mentally had enough and it was either cry a little or get a migraine. Crying was definitely the winner.

I guess tomorrow I'll let you know how the universe turned. Hoping it turns in our favor because we need to get through just 4 days until vacation starts. I think we can do it.
