I'm low on spoons but I want to cheer on Sophia and also inquire about Cindy's son and give Amy props for holding down the bakery fort and Sheryl for wrangling Mr. S by herself. In general I toss confetti at you all because that is way easier to vacuum up than glitter, and also apparently garam masala powder which I never heard of before but don't want in my carpet.
Losing my job is bringing up a bunch of crap I didn't think I was ever going to have to deal with, and I'm not really handling this all very well. I really need someone to talk to, but for various reasons I don't have anyone. My best friend would be willing to listen, she always is, bless her, but she's going through crap of her own right now and I don't want to add to her emotional burden.
Today I got an unexpected bill for $381 for medical supplies that have for years been covered 100% and suddenly, surprise, this year they are not. Wish I'd known that before I ordered them. That bill is not going on the top of the to-be-paid pile.
Oh Zen! You can talk to us.
Zen, I'd be happy to chat in email. Phone is a little rough with my cough right now.
Thanks so much, Amy. I might take you up on that. Right now I'm chatting with a former co-worker and she's helping calm me down.
Because Zen is a kitty, I am now picturing that old "hang in there" poster with the kitten hanging from ??? [link]
I got a lot done yesterday- basically the whole hallway and stairwell are now clean, as is the stove sink oven counter wall of the kitchen. Today I am going to focus on the other kitchen wall I can get to- cupboards/fridge/microwave and hopefully the ceilings if Maria can get me the swifter wet cloths- I bought the wrong ones yesterday, but the one sample looks great. I am impatient to schedule the rest of the work because I can't get around the house.
I have to thank you all for your outpouring of love- it is such a load off my mind to not have to worry about paying the deposit before my loan comes in and also to then be able to use the loan to pay off my credit card. All in all, I should have done that years ago- the interest is so low on the retirement loan compared to the credit card.
My old boss- who has been great- she made my new boss give me the week off and found people to do all my work commitments and made them leave me alone last week so I could finish up the things only I could do — told me to be prepared for it to get worse for me mentally this week, so I am a little nervous about that. I am also nervous that the dumpster is coming Monday but the people are not until at least Tuesday. I
It's so good to hear how well your doing, Sophia! I'm so glad.
Well, hell. PG&E planned outages again this weekend and I was not supposed to be affected but not my power is out. And I just got a notice from work that both offices are on generator power and may be closed tomorrow.
It's really just inconvenient, I'm not in any danger or anything, but it's a drag.
