Think I am getting sick

My nose has been running and I have been sneezing most of the day. I hope I am not getting sick. I went to the grocery store today with my sister who is recovering from Covid. It has been the first time I have seen her in over a week.

I got a message from UMB IT department about my name change in one of the systems. They said I had to have the name in one of the other system as this system feeds into it. My name was already changed in that system so obviously, something needs to be done. I am kind of freaking out because my online class starts Friday.

I have been feeling depressed on and off all day. It isn’t grief or sadness. Just a low level mood. I want to sleep but I just can’t. My mind keeps going on and on about things. I woke up like a few times during the night but was able to get back to sleep. I slept until my med alarm woke me up. I didn’t get up right away. I got up when my cousin called to cancel taking me to the grocery store. He wasn’t feeling good. My mood sucks. I don’t feel suicidal. I don’t feel that low. I just am worried that I am going to be ok for classes for the first few weeks and then I will ease off because the depression will get worse. I started reading the second textbook for my online class. Not an easy read as it is about sex work in Paraguay. I probably will start reading a chapter a day. But depression interferes with my concentration. Sometimes I just can’t focus.

I am growing out my hair. I want to take some off the top but am scared to do it myself as I am as close as I would like to be. I want the top to be a little longer so I have some bangs. I stopped shaving a couple of days ago. It should all be grown in by the end of the month. My hair grows fast.
