📅 Week 14 of my Journey In Unemployment Land. How am I doing? I'm glad you asked.
🐕 Gabby, my one year old Mountain Cur, finally got spayed. Everyone warns you how strange having a sick pet in your home is, but I always figured they were exaggerating. I miss my high-energy girl. We need to go exploring the neighborhood again!
🐱 Bridgette, my 16 year old cat, loves singing the song of her people between the hours of 3 and 4 am. She is terrorizing us. Please send help.
💌 My spouse and I are discussing ways to pivot our lives. He and I are well-educated, young, and childless. Our 20s were rocky. It's time to apply the lessons learned and steer the ship to clearer waters. Otherwise, this season of joblessness would be for nothing.
💸 The bills keep coming. My insurance keeps rising. I now understand Destiny's Child's hit single, Bills, Bills, Bills. If you cannot pay my bills, I don't feel like speaking to you.
📿 My goal is not to stress myself out or make any hasty decisions. There are moments of panic that hit me regularly. These moments aren't entirely irrational. Government assistance is slow to arrive. I have friends and family but they are struggling themselves. The news seems to echo the rising drums of war. And everyone is walking around in a perpetual state of false bravado, in the hopes that it'll get them hired.
🌥 I'm generally a positive person. Every cloud has a silver lining and every avenue has something around its corner. However, cynicism became my friend this week. I hate that I cannot buy something for my husband something for his birthday. My pets need medical care and food. I need so many things. So yeah...I'm feeling the pinch this week, y'all. I'm not sure what else I can say.
