For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

The Opportunity to Help Healthcare Heroes
I just work HR. It’s not very glamorous. All day long I help the company process paperwork. Today, I did 3 leave forms, payroll, helped with tuition reimbursement for 2 nurses, put in schedules for traveler nurses, and filled out lots of forms for helping medical staff with work comp in case of Covid quarantining. I help to ensure they get paid and get their benefits to support their families. Sometimes I screw up. But sometimes I am glad I am there to help.

THE BEST ANTIGEN RAPID TESTS ON THE MARKET
The FDA recently approved an Emergency Authorization for ACON Laboratories' FlowFlex COVID Home Test. This is an over-the-counter COVID antigen test and is added to the approved list of tests that can be done at home. This action underscores the ongoing commitment to increase the availability of reasonably accurate and reliable over-the-counter testing to meet public health needs and improve consumer access to testing.

Sleepless in The Couve
As darkness falls and the sun sets , most people turn in for a good night's rest. While I do some nights theres no doubt in the fact that my sleep habits are not good and leave me yearning for more sleep as my alarm beeps and the sun rises to give golden kisses.

Post-Pandemic!!
As I layed in bed, exhausted and tired, i pondered what day is it? Have I isolated long enough to be deem worthy to reunite with the humans? Like a contagion it spread multiplying amongst us but yet dividing us and separating us keeping us 6ft apart to say the least. This invisible villan has brought us to a halt, we superhumans, strong and conquerors, we who made it to the moon and back, but yet still at awe at how our existence is at a constant threat by forces of nature. Which is gonna get me first i ask myself. Is it an earthquake, or a flood, or a wildfire that burns its way to the inner cities or is it the next flu virus(covid, omicron, delta), whichever makes you feel comfortable to call it as i am running out of names for it now. Where do we go from here, what do we do now, should we allow natural seletion take its course or is it time to create the ultimate pill, the antedote that reigns supreme to beatdown any anomaly from optimum human health. Is there really an end to this? Surely sick people cant produce a prosperous nation, so i must like to think the system wants us to heal so we can labour for them and pay our taxes. Or are robots ready to take over?, will this force an evolution and birth the inception of the machine Era, a world where the pandemic never ended and we were forced to allow for new inventions catapulting us into a time when robots literally roam our streets, walking our dogs, and getting us our dose of coffee because we became infected and thus rely on them for our daily needs.

I know you're watching.
How does one begin to compose a letter for the dead?..... Do you start with "Hi, I hope you're well?" or "how is it going up there?".

Share Your Light with Others
We cannot underestimate the power of sharing our light. A warm smile. A gentle embrace. Be patient with someone. Simply, hold the door open for the person behind you. In even small ways, we can share our light.

I Really Miss Who I Used To Be
I’m a recent college graduate - go noles - stuck in her childhood bedroom, running with the same social circle I had my senior year of high school doing the same things we did back then. Everything, yet nothing, has changed. Seventeen-year-old me wouldn't recognize twenty-year-old me if we walked past each other on the street, despite the fact that, save for five tattoos, we look physically the same. It’s everything else that’s different.

A Case For Recess
Remember back when we were children and life had so much promise and excitement? We jumped out of our beds and greeted each new day as an adventure. We never really knew what was going to happen but we had hope of something great.

Two-Mom Cat Wrestler: The Athena Cricket Betty Friedan Herskowitz Story
“Attie!” I know what Moobie wants. “Attie!” I’ll get up in a minute. “Attie!” My Hamilton poster is peeling off the wall. I should do something about that. Phillipa Soo deserves better.

Whatever You Wish To Receive, You Have To Give It First
Life is stressful. We accumulate unhealthy amounts of stress from our environment. This weight we all carry is so heavy today that we don’t have enough energy left to care about others.

Hats for the homeless
I have always been one of the people to make a New Years resolution that I am never going to keep. My resolution usually revolves around the classics like losing weight, saving money, fixing my marriage and while they are not unattainable, they are unrealistic for me. This year I decided to go a completely different route. I started a job last year that involved working in and for the community. It is my dream job and I have already learned so much in the time that I have been there. I have also always been a person that keeps myself busier then busy. I find that the busier I am the more I stay out of my own head and in the real world. I use creativity as an outlet for my stress and to relax my body and mind. One of my favorite things to do to relax is crocheting. I usually don’t make anything specific, it is mostly creating simple blankets, unravelling them, and crocheting them again.

Rem sleep.
I love and must have my rem sleep. I hate it when I am experiencing rem sleep, and while I am having beauty sleep I have nightmares superbad, someone else may refer to my nightmare as a night terror because it is a nasty horrible bad dream. I love it when my rem sleep yields sweet dreams, much more pleasant. My new years' resolution goal is to get rem sleep, maintain a sleep regimen of going to bed between 8:30 pm and 10:30 pm, to wake up six to eight hours later in the morning. I love my beauty sleep, without it, I am worse than a grizzly bear, nor am I a morning person without adequate rem sleep.
