So like. I want to call out from work tomorrow. Losing two people inside a week is just fuckin...harrowing. I& #39;ve lost people, even friends, but not 2 in a WEEK.
But like with Corona, with states opening back up, is this gonna be our new normal? Losing multiple people w/in days?

I know there are people out there now who have lost whole chunks of their community. I& #39;ve lost a handful, and no one who was super close. But I still feel...some kinda thing.
I dunno. Like this is the beginning for me? It& #39;s hitting the outskirts of my groups & working inward?

I& #39;m just watching the news ripple across my f-list as people are putting up tributes and that& #39;s how others are learning it... Reminds me of last January, when we lost John.
Except then, at least, we could have funerals. We could mourn with our community. Now we& #39;re mourning alone

I& #39;m scared this is going to be my new normal. Snatches of regular updates amid a flurry of tributes to those we& #39;ve lost?
I know I& #39;ve been privileged & sheltered that this is only hitting NOW but
I don& #39;t want this. I want anything BUT this. And I am SO MAD at folks who disagree.

I& #39;m...I dunno. Stupidly scared to go to my boss tomorrow and say, "Boss, I wanna take the rest of the week off because two friends in 7 days is too many."
Not cause I think my boss will care. They& #39;re lovely.
But it feels like...tempting fate, kinda.

Because what if this is just the beginning of the dominoes? I feel like I should...I dunno. Save this for when I really need it?
It feels stupid to type. I& #39;m not making any sense.
But if I feel this broken losing two people, what happens when that number jumps again?
