I finished watching "13 Reasons Why" today .... and wow. Intense show. Without a real ending, of course, because if they end it, how can there be another season??? And I hope they have one. I think the show was done in an excellent and creative manner.
The topic of teens in high school and all the bullying that can, and does, happen is a very real topic. I know I felt some of Hannah's angst, feelings of loneliness.
I, too, was a very not popular girl. I often felt left out of the experiences that other kids seemed to be having. Thankfully, nothing really awful happened to me like it did to Hannah, but those feelings she had were clear, and real. They're not imagined. And with technology the way it is, every thought and whim of other students is posted online - often without a lot of thought, but with plenty of emotion -- makes me glad I'm not a teenager now! or raising a teenager, either!!
And now I have to wonder where the next season will take us?
And what will be my next show to watch?
The rest of my day has had me feeling ..... off. Out of step. I thought I was low on water, but I remedied that. Walked Sadie. Twice. Cleaned the backyard, trimmed up some bushes (Still have more to do there). Shopped at Home Depot for a couple replacement plants. But I'm just feeling ... off. In the middle of the wee morning hours I woke up, and checked my FitBit for my pulse. A few times in the past it's been 50 when I wake up and feel ... off. This time, it was 47. I just had my physical and the Dr said I'm fine. Overweight, but fine.
Maybe it's all the changes I can see coming at my BigBox Store. I find it ... odd and off-putting that they are just going to be changing up our schedules without any notice. After 9 years with the same 6-3 hours, they are changing to 7-4. Sleeping in a little later might sound like an awesome thing. But on the other hand, I won't gain an hour of sleep as I'll have to leave for work and factor in traffic. At best, I'll get an extra 30 minutes on the sleeping end.
But my evening schedule will be thrown off as well ... poor Sadie will be home alone extra time, because there will be traffic during the drive home, too. UGH. What's worse is that I know what my job entails and the best hours to get my job done in an efficient, timely manner so that bosses will have the reports and resources they need to go about their own day. And starting an hour later is NOT going to be the best thing for the store. But as they say "c'est la vie" .... they have instilled in us that we MUST follow the schedule, so that's what I'll be doing.
To. the. minute.
