Ran out of both steam and time

mousmeOh, man, what a day.
Just back-to-back meetings and phone calls. I had an employee call in today with symptoms consistent with COVID, so she's going to self-isolate for two weeks (got a test done this morning) and we're going to wait for her test results to come back before we freak out more. She's the worst possible person to have it from a logistical point of view, if it does turn out she's positive. She works a modified schedule and is not on shifts, so she has worked with 3/4 of the employees here in the last week.
I've been in touch with everyone who might have come into contact with her at work, we disinfected all of the work areas and common spaces, and I let another employee with a chronic health condition go home right away because he was (understandably) worried regardless. So now, we wait. Hopefully the test will come back negative, but if it comes back positive it could prove disastrous for us. We are a tiny unit, and we are already understaffed (like, less than skeleton crew understaffed), and honestly COVID 19 could tear through us like we're a wet tissue paper.
I didn't finish a ton of my work. I wanted to send off a bunch of paperwork to the pay centre for my employee with pay issues, and the day got away from me. I also 100% failed at getting my weekly report done on time. I was 30 minutes past my official end of day with about 25% of it written, and I just... ran out of steam. I sat there and stared blankly at it for, like, five minutes straight.
That's when I remembered I hadn't taken my second dose of Concerta for the afternoon. OOPS.
The ADHD meds really do make a difference! Anyway, taking them at the end of the day makes no sense, so I gave everything up as a bad job and brought my laptop home with me. I flirted with the idea of working tonight, but, well, ugh. I will put in a couple of hours tomorrow--long enough to submit the pay documents and finish my weekly report.
I was meant to play Mage tonight, but the Storyteller is under the weather, and I'm actually kind of grateful because I could use an early-ish night. I plan on taking advantage of my bed.
