Updatedness.
Time for the semi-annual update.
It's not good on several levels. Back in December, I was dealt a double crushing blow when a) I got fired from my job (long story), and b) my beloved Sam cat of 17 years finally crossed that Rainbow Bridge. This hurt far more than the job loss (which really does hurt, financially speaking, because I've been struggling to pay the bills ever since and as of next month I'll be in trouble again), especially as it was kind of rushed since Sam was not doing well and, not knowing that I was going to get fired shortly (more on this in a moment), I had to make a critical decision because my schedule at the time would only have allowed for one small window for me to take him to the vet. Suffice to say that I did what I could and I hope to God I made the right choice for him (a part of me still feels like I pushed it too soon) when I did.
The job loss pisses me off far more than it hurts, because of the way it was done. The VERY next day after I had just lost the cat love of my life, they fired me. It's a long story but basically I screwed up something I shouldn't have, so I can't say I blame them on that. But like I said, it's how it was handled that angers me more than anything else. They knew I was dealing with a very stressful time at home. This was salt in the wound.
This past week my Facebook account was suddenly closed down - some asshole or assholes reported me for having a fake name, so the FB police were demanding ID. Since for personal reasons I refuse to use my full name, I can't give them that, so it's probably safe to assume that that account is gone for good, which angers me on several levels. But I found a way around it by using a different email, so, if you had me on FB and are suddenly wondering why I've disappeared, that's why - PM me and I'll let you know the details. I'm missing a couple of you that I know I had friended, but you're not turning up in my searches (most likely for the same reasons I don't usually appear).
Mostly I'm just trying to get by, one meh day at a time.
