I tell you what, this has been a very, very long month.
This past weekend I was so sick, which put a damper on house hunting, because you know, that’s what I have to do outside of work these days. I’m down to my last week to really put much energy into it, so fingers crossed something comes through. The weekend before, was my birthday weekend, woo! Big 32, I believe? I really couldn’t figure out how old I was turning for a while there. It was nice, Jill went up north to do a maternity photo shoot, I had our daughter and we headed north a bit later in the day, Rosalie stayed with my Aunt and I went to the shoot towards the end. Afterward we met up with everyone and had Hook and Reel for my birthday, a dinner put together by Jill and my sister, so it was pretty nice to see everyone. The following week was DNV week at the hospital, a really stressful, which on top of that, I was also trying to get stuff done around the hospital and get off to go look at houses. I’m told we apparently did pretty well, so that’s good to hear! We also had an update appointment on our little baby boy, he’s growing quite well and Jill is quite ready to have him haha he’s been a bit of a brat, kicking in the ribs and whatnot.
Oh, I’m so tired, where is this post going? I’ve been taking new meds lately, in addition to mood stabilizers and my medication for ADHD, so that’s been quite the transition. They’ve made me pretty grumpy, so I’m going to have to talk to my doctor about it. I’ve been told by my job that they’ll be hiring me soon, but I won’t be holding my breath, they’ve said this a few times and I’ve been a contractor long enough to not get my hopes up on these things. They said I’d be moving hospitals as well, since we’ve lost a few people on our team, so there’ll be shuffling internally. I really need to find a way to just branch out into my own business, do my own thing, because feeling like my livelyhood is in the hands of others never feels great. I think I could put some good energy into that once we find a house and get things calmed down, like that ever happens. I know by now that waiting for the day things “calm down,” is unrealistic, but things can get a little more stable before trying to venture out with my art, photography, repairing, etc. Honestly, I’m not really sure where to go with this website these days, it was for my adventures, camping, backpacking, etc, then it became more of a lifestyle blog about my domestic life, and a bit of ranting for a while.. I really need to find some direction, though it’s not like I’m getting tons of views or responses on anything, so maybe it’s fine to be directionless for a little while. Hopefully the next post will have some good news about maybe finding a house and actually getting an offer accepted on it? I know I’ve found enough that I’ve put offers on and turned down to not want to get my heart set on anything anymore, unfortunately.
Let’s see, anything else to really bring up or talk about? I still don’t quite feel 100% after being so sick over the weekend, but thankfully I’m able to be back and work and getting stuff done, as a contractor I get no PTO and no health insurance, so I can’t really afford to be sick. It was bad too, I’m still slightly dehydrated, started about Friday night and was still feeling it pretty bad Sunday evening, but I’m feeling alright today, Monday afternoon. Today is no slouch of a day either, took Rosalie to daycare, currently at work, then picking her up, running to a doctor’s appointment for Rosalie and Jill, then heading up north for my grandma’s surprise birthday party at my Aunt Theresa’s house, and finally back home to try to get things picked up a bit more after my rough weekend, definitely need to get packing. I need to be moved out whether I find a house or not considering my lease is up at the end of June. Plus Jill will be having our baby boy sometime late June/early July, so it’s going to be another busy month I’m sure. Oh well, this is life I guess!
I leave you with this Kingdom Hearts piece I’m drawing from the Kingdom Hearts 3: remind DLC.
Later days.
This didn’t go up yesterday like I’d planned, not like anyone would notice, but hey, it’s going up now. 05/25/2021
“Listen, I’m your friend (don’t quote me)
But not a friend worth noting
Yes please don’t ever note me as your friend
Who says we have cold hearts
Acting out our old parts
Let’s perform our favorite little scene, oho
I get carried away, carried away, from you
And I’m hoping and I’m praying
Cause I’m sorry, sorry bout that
Sorry bout the things that I said
Always let it get to my head”
