Mid-July 2016

Hi everyone. I know it’s been awhile, but things have been rough.

Let me explain…

So my last day at the plant was June 24th. I spent most of the next couple weeks attempting to get caught up in my homework. Didn’t do too well. Haven’t received my final grade, but right now we’re looking at a D. I think that means I’ll have to retake the class. Which might push graduation out to the middle of 2018 instead of the end of 2017. We’ll see though. I might be able to double up with this class and another since it would be my 2nd attempt and would know the coursework already.

Currently taking Marriage and Family Counseling. So far so good.

I joined a gym and hired a personal trainer. Loving it so far. Down a few pounds and starting to feel stronger. Doing things I never thought I would, which is a good and exciting thing. My trainer is pretty cool too, he lost 100 pounds and is a Christian. So he kinda gets where I’m coming from.

Job searching pretty much sucks. Had 1 interview so far and it just wasn’t a good fit. Got my resume out to a few other places, but no call backs yet. God has something for me, I know, just waiting to see which door opens.

So, here’s the worst news… I had to put my kitty down. Fitz had been suffering from cancer and it was just getting worse. I choose to do it a few days ago before he suffered anymore. He went peacefully and I sobbed. I miss him a lot and still look for him around the apartment. I was able to get a paw print before it happened, so I think I know what my next tattoo will be. But he was y fur-baby and I will miss him and his snuggles.

Not much else going on. Trying to keep busy living off the severance pay.
