I didn't want to go to work today.
I've had to walk through the sites of 3 active shooting locations downtown while trying to leave work.
I wasn't in any danger, All 3 events were either over, or closing up by the time I was waiting for my bus.
But at the same time, I feel like I could've called out for the mental health excuse and not gotten any crap over it.
But I didn't.
Just so I could chase this bread.
I hate this.

@kelseyhusky if perspective helps; I went through the area because I was just not being savvy about my route home, so I showed up to roads cordoned off, everything locked down (I had thought I’d hole up in Starbucks and draw) and police all over (I *don’t* feel safe around police). I thought I was doing okay once I got home, but the hypervigilance still kicked in enough that actually getting to sleep was very difficult. I can’t fault you for wanting to stay well away from there.
