Thoughts on the Bill Michael resignation email we got? I’ve heard the same commentary and worse from my bosses about covid being ‘fake’ or ‘ over exaggerated’ and have been told by my bosses to expect working longer hours without hanging time to eat — but it seems it doesn’t matter unless unless there’s an article written about it that the media puts out.... one thing to enforce our values on only those getting caught in the spotlight for it.

Feeling a bit down today. Yet another friend just told me she is pregnant — not a complete surprise, I suspected when I saw her on a prior socially-distanced outing. But still frustrated at myself. I’ve had multiple egg retrievals and have already had two cancelled transfers due to issues with my lining each time. Just feels like everyone around me is getting pregnant while for me, it’s still issue after issue popping up. Also reminded of the fact that I had a miscarriage a year ago this time.

Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns.

They are not conscious of profit and loss. Considering equally a pebble, stone and gold they receive alms from all and see Atman alone everywhere. Unclad, unaffected by pairs (of opposites, heat and cold, etc.,) receiving no gifts, solely adhering to pure meditation, established in the Atman alone, receiving alms at the prescribed time for sustaining life, taking shelter in a deserted house, temple, haystack, ant-hill, shade of a tree. With pure mind, they give up their bodies in the state of renunciation
