Ommmg y'all, this week is really grating on my anxiety. For one, I've been taking on site gigs for medical interpretation (I typically only do work from home text translation), and while I am enjoying it, it's also a little stressful. Even so, it would be far more tolerable if not for the fact that I'm currently having my roof worked on as well. Leading up to this has been a bit of a nightmare anyway - the kitchen ceiling was getting real bad, and there were raccoons fuckin around up there in the attic. Then last week, one of the little jerks actually busted a hole through the ceiling, collapsing part of it in (which was profoundly alarming at 6 in the damn morning when I had work at 8). So of course at that point my landlord had to get someone to come fix it all, and turned out the kitchen and living room ceilings need replaced, as well as the whole roof. They started yesterday, and overnight had to leave portions of the roof covered with tarp. Nothing got in, but I literally got no sleep at all last night because every little noise sounded like something tryna get in, and finally just gave up and got out of bed around 4am. I have a 4 hour shift at noon, and they're here now and it's just so very loud and my poor nerves are so frayed. 🥲🥲🥲
