Happy 2023
So much for updating LiveJournal for the rest of this year. For whatever reason when I use my work laptop, it won't access LJ at all... and then the rest of the time I've been too exhausted jumping from temp to temp that I don't feel like downloading LJ app or text a long story into it.
Well, I've been having my holiday vacation since Christmas and tomorrow's my last day off until I get to go back to my new temp as a rotation specialist. It's a year temp that started immediately after my United Way campaign associate temp ended. So in a nutshell, I'm still away from staffing which is a refreshing change. Last temp at the United Way I worked at their headquarters downtown; this job I get to WFH which would be a blessing if my equipment has arrived. Since it didn't, I hope I can still work at my office at Gorge Road Hospital come Tuesday. For whatever reason, they don't want me to work in that office despite the fact it is normally unused when I'm not there.
Either way, I spent time off work redoing the layout of my living room and den. I was gifted an electrical fireplace but of course they purchased it unassembled and don't have the common sense to build it properly so I had to assemble it myself as well as the L-shaped desk I ordered via Amazon. Now both items look absolutely amazing and with new focal points for the home, I feel so much happier with the new design layout and feel more at home.
Still enjoying my life being single and alone. Well, technically I'm not alone. I'm casually seeing three guys but only semi-committed to one. One of them is a former work crush which the fleeting emotions have since waned because as much as think he's cute and we get along well, there's some things about him that raises as a red flag such as a large age gap similar to Nick and I can tell right off the bat he's not emotionally mature nor financially stable enough to sustain a long term relationship. The second one is Jon; no, do not have any feelings for that second ex-fiancé but as much of a loser he still is, he's less annoying than he used to be so I'm able to at least tolerate him on very small doses. If he takes me out to movies and pays my fare, then I'm willing to put up with him. Anything more and we're out. The final person is Nick's best friend. I've known he's always cared about me but I didn't realize he has strong feelings for me. Before I was kinda weirded out about it but over time I've learned to accept these sentiments and he's slowly grown on me. I felt that he has grown to become my confidant with the former work crush somewhat being a close second. I had two other suitors but I've slowly pushed those away because I'm tired and if someone doesn't show that they'll be a reliable person in the long term, they'll simply fade away from my interest and I'll move on. I don't see myself as the type who will slow down for anyone now.
Other than that, nothing else to really report. It's always day in and day out and just watching time continually slipping away from my fingertips. My children are grown teenagers who usually prefer to be left alone working hard with their academics, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and their respective friends and steady boyfriends. I'm glad that both Molly & Maryn are doing incredibly well but with them being able to just be, it leaves me feeling a bit more alone which still bothers me a tad but I'll definitely take that instead of getting myself into another relationship that will end up destructive or derail off into instability. It's not worth it, life is short and I feel my own time is running out so I just want to live life the best that I can and when it's my time to go, I'll have enough to leave for my two girls and the rest split off between three charities I could think of off the top of my mind.
I don't know if LiveJournal is still alive or not with legit folks. It seems like the only people who use the service are questionable people. Anyway, now I have the personal laptop on the L-shape desk, I'm inclined to use it a lot often and let's just hope that I will leave an entry a day as well as using the home gym more often. That lawsuit is still ongoing and it's driving me nuts. I have to switch to a different RMT within the same place and luckily I was able to keep my physiotherapist, but I was forced to switch to a different chiropractor and acupuncturist since my current ones no longer do ICBC coverage treatments. I found two new practitioners that I'll be trying out in February.
2022 was a year of shock, change, and lots of growth and self-reflection. We'll see how 2023 takes me. Hope anyone who still reads this account are doing well.
