Three years...time keeps ticking

Jul 15, 2024 04:34


Well...three years since my last post. And...I guess many updates to be had.

--Yesterday, former president Trump was almost assassinated. As much as I hate him, I think his death would have started something much worse for our country. Plus, it would be weird having a sane Republican (oxymoron?) running for president, and much more dangerous.

--I no longer work at the library. We got a new manager who took some weird dislike to me and ended up bullying me for a year and reporting me to HR for every little thing she thought was wrong. Long story short, after 19.5 years of working for the library, she got me fired. Kinda a relief, actually. I was having panic attacks and getting severe depression. I don't miss those days at all! I do miss the books. Been over a year and I still can't be bothered to read a book again. So the worst thing, is she killed my enjoyment of books.

--Now I am working at Walmart. Actually, for over a year now. I work in the Online Grocery Pickup department. I fucking love it. Pay is meh compared to the library, but my coworkers are amazing and I am getting in shape kinda. Soooo muuuuch walking!

--I got a new car. New as in only 20 miles on it. I got it a couple months before I left the library. Which in hindsight was a horrible idea because at the time I KNEW the job was going down the toilet. But, in a way, I think the new car kept me from driving my older, crappier one off a bridge, so there is that.



--Katie, my cat, is on Prednisone. That has kept her from licking sores on her back. Not the best for her, but it works.

--Dad was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. He doesn't have much of a tremor, but is having some coordination issues. Now to just get him into a doctor and hopefully they can find a way to manage his symptoms.

Ummm...I think that is mostly it.

See ya in a few years!
