Thoughts and considerations on taking a few days break from work because of all the murders happening here

I'm considering taking a few days away from work. Maybe I'll go to Portland and live in a packpacker's hostel. Perhaps I'll go crash at a friend's. Maybe a trip down south somewhere, if the individuals in concern are stable now. Maybe take the fun train to LA?

Work is fine, but ugh. There's a serial killer in my neighborhood and he's killed a couple of people. The other day I got to a murder scene at the train station a few short minutes after it happened. I was just returning from the yoga class. I've seen so much blood at the station. I've felt unsafe walking in the park, with people acting rather unpredictably and strangely, and have had to walk with an understanding that I might be attacked, and would need to either flight or fight at a moment's notice. And this is all happening in my own fucking neighborhood.

It's a bit much and depending on how tomorrow's workload and planning goes, I want to chill for a little bit and give myself some space. I've been pushing myself far too hard!
