How is work handling this, if they know?

A difficult shift where I could not eat and could not sit down.

Term has started and my life is not my own until half term.

Physical work in the heat and I have learned about hydration the hard way.

A colleague noticed and asked, and I told her, and it was fine.

I have arranged my week around the two days I know will be worse and it has changed everything.

Zero hours, so it depends entirely on the rota, which arrived yesterday for tomorrow.

Caring, which is the work, and nobody counts it.

Fine, apart from a comment somebody made that I will think about all evening.

Quiet. I got a proper lunch break for the first time in weeks.
