Happy July. We made it.
Great, my tummy is acting funny, but I managed to take breakfast because morning is the time where the action is. Not as bad as yesterday though, I crashed early, couldn't bear it.
Today is a little subdued, but not too bad. I did a little black and white sketch. I wanted to do a Sharpie only colour, but my silver and black Sharpie went to heaven. I'm very sad right now, but it's okay. I'm going to save up and get some... Can't go to the bookshops, cases are on the rise again.
Recently the areas around me are having breakouts. Oh GOD. No more going out, no more takeouts. Home cooked, cafeteria food from now on. I'm also scared to order food online. To be honest, our policy is your food have to get dropped off on the table, no contact, bur rarely, but it happens, someone may end up grabbing your food as well (Don't laugh, it happens!) Chances are very slim, but do not take any chances, and don't give me "It will never happen to me", you'll end up digging your own grave. Oh, in case you haven't realized it, we tend to use dark humour to cope with our current situation, nothing personal.
I feel a little happier today, because yes we do get the occasional weird enquiries from time to time, but I managed to make a few people's day happier. I attended someone who was upset about something. Basically I do not know what happened, but it was basically someone had pressured this poor person on which doctor to see, and they were frustrated, so when the call came to me, the person was unhappy and was telling me about their experience. I apologized and asked regarding their enquiry, and you know what, they feel happy afterwards after I clarified several things with them. Yep, it makes me happy to make someone feel better.
There's another one which wrote a long essay, I mean really long, explaining regarding their situation. It's not too bad to be very honest. Pretty straightforward. I directed them to the right place and they were grateful... You know, the last two weeks alone had been really stressful, but a lot of people had been seeking mental help, and as I have said several times, there's nothing to be ashamed of. The lockdown is stressful, some people have lost their source of income, most are suffering in silence. The problem is...mental health is still stigmatized as something that is shameful. You know...sometimes it's okay to ask for help... It's okay to admit you're sad, depressed or vulnerable, because how can you expect others to help if you don't say it...At least, that's what my doctor told me last time I saw them, but everyone is different. That's what makes medical field fun...in its own way, because you never know what to expect.
Cases are on the rise again, and it's really sad. Some places were under lockdown, with soldiers and barbed wires surrounding the area. Yet you still see people flaunting the SOP. Now people are also waving the white flag, and it's sad... As I always tell myself - I used to keep a grateful diary during my therapy period, but it can only help so much, because it all comes down to you... At least I still have a job, if I hated it I would've left long time ago, I get to do what I love, and at least I can support my family and help contribute.
I've finally got the latest Shaman King and Loki series, but I already swore to myself, until I finish writing, I'm not going to watch anything else. The only thing I allow myself to watch are music contents, because I'm a music addict.
*Today's case: 6,988 (Where's SWAT when you need them?)
