My Mental Health Journey

  • I Am Sick Today

    It is really hard having to go to work when you’re sick but that’s the situation I am in right now. I have a very sore throat that feels like it is on fire. I can work through a head cold without issue, but sore throats are very hard to deal with. The trouble is that I need the money and my job does not offer paid sick time. So work I must.

    Fortunately, I do not feel grouchy. I just kind of hope this turns into a head cold by this afternoon because that is much easier to deal with. Today, I need to look for an nftables tutorial because I am struggling to get NAT working on my Alma Linux VPS. The easy firewalld system is not doing what I want. I think I just might need to reinstall the OS and start from scratch which is okay.

    I hope today goes as fast as yesterday! I really just want to head home and go back to sleep. America needs to have a societal safety net with paid sick time and vacation time for everybody. It needs to be in the law. We’re human beings not robots!
