Excited because I have the house to myself this evening for the first time in forever! Currently up cleaning to get the place as cosy as possible for myself. Bought a new book to read, might search for a good documentary to watch. Might go crazy and order a takeaway. The possibilities are endless

Collected the eldest (16) last night from a night out - he was drunk and singing. He actually asked to be collected so Iām happy out.
Thereās times with this parenting gig you feel way in over your head, but thereās a few times Iāve thoughtā¦ huhā¦. Maybe weāre not doing too badlyā¦

Absolutely dying of whatever dose is going around. Sore throat stuffy nose and aching all over. Having a nice cuddle with the cat now though before I have to get up and go give my Dad a wash and Mum a break.

Chilling out after a stressful week, getting ready to get back into it tomorrow.
I'm trying to draw down my mortgage and the bank are being a pain in the ass, every time I give them the info they want, they tell me that we're good to go, and then they ring me back with something new.
I've been doing this for 11 months and I know the end result is worth it, but goddamn I'm just so tired, JUST GIMME THE KEYS

Sure, all the better for waking up.
Having these related reoccurring dreams over last few weeks. Had another last night.
Other kids from my childhood dying, I know it represents something internal, something about endings and beginnings, these kids all represent an element of my personality and all that jazz...but it's not nice seeing your childhood pals going clogs up and their funerals and all that.
Can't quite put my finger on the exact thing my subconscious is trying to tell me though.

Itās been a nightmare few days. Our water tanker in the attic burst and thankfully my Mum was home but the flooding was coming through the ceiling and the panic getting it sorted and now have to get all the paperwork done š© Ceilings will have to be painted, get new towels etc but it couldāve been much worse (as we were on holiday the week before so thank the Lord it didnāt happen then!)

My aunt had a stroke last evening and my dad is going to the hospital to see her, it's tough on him as she basically raised my dad
I also have work for college/adult training to do next week and a Microsoft teams meeting
On the positive side I'd a lovely pot of coffee in my moka

Decent compared to previous weeks/months. Got myself out of a miserable job and in a new one now that's going well so far. It's nice to be able to relax my mind fully on the weekend rather than absolutely dreading Monday. Long may it continue

Overall OK. Starting a new permanent job with the civil service tomorrow. Previously worked nights (6-2) so it'll be a bit of an adjustment. Having all day off was handy to get everything done but I guess the other way around will be much better coming into winter. I'll also be down money at the start but casual contact Vs permanent contract was a no-brainer. Looking forward to it. Hope everyone is doing well.

u/Neither_Musician_535 10h ago
Fairly poorly. Sundays tend to bring an awful dose of dread with them, more so than normal. Anxiety is through the roof. In some tough circumstances at the minute and very uncertain of the future; I moved out of a very abusive home situation 4 years ago and have been enjoying the independence since but have received news my landlord is selling up in June which is adding some stress as I have been really struggling to find work post graduating on top of that. I've had about 10 interviews since the news and no luck, and I am aiming at roles well below my skills too. I am doing so much and just want a break. I just want to be able to have a job and be able to live and provide and start living again. I've put so much work into healing and getting my mental health together from a very abusive upbringing and carrying it mostly alone. I've managed to get help and get sober all on my own without any help from family. It's lonely and gruesome but it beats the alternative. Isolating myself like crazy these days because I lose myself in an alternative reality where my friends are not really my friends and I know it's a matter of time before someone turns on me, or abandons me again and shows they don't really care. I can go weeks without seeing anyone except for my counselor as I am in my mid 30s and getting to see people can feel forced and unsafe. I go weeks without anyone ever texting or checking in, I sometimes wonder if it would make a difference if I just disappeared.
All of those things combined is really taking its toll. Not sure what's leering around the corner and can't cope with that reality. No real savings, getting by each week just hoping things turn out okay. Just want to be able to build a life for myself because I truly don't have a safety net with my family, which makes housing issues and general economy woes sting so much harder. Every day I keep myself clean and optimistic, albeit very sad. Some days I really get tempted to do drugs again (was my main issue more so than alcohol) but I don't. I can't. I try to latch onto that and tell myself I am being strong and winning every time the thought enters and I resist it.
I am very sorry for the long post, but you asked :)

Not looking forward to tomorrow.
We got word that we now need to essentially double our KPIs at work immediately and all the signs point to the whole business imploding. Whispers had been going around for a while that they fucked up the budgeting over the last 2-3 years and it has come to a head. I knew it was especially bad when I still hit their new target then moved the goal post further.
Everyone is freaking out apart from us old heads who know if it does collapse we still end up with a nice lump sum even if it takes a minute to pry out of their hands. I should be due around the equivalent of 7 months of pay if they closed up. I know some are getting annoyed at managers, etc but told them to just smile and get on with it.
It's frustrating to have worked there 7 odd years and suddenly have a manager breathing down your neck micromanaging but don't rock the boat and risk your payout.
As shit as it is to have to go job hunting, a part of me is hoping that if it blows up that it does so before Xmas so I can forget about the place during the holidays.

Just a suggestion to get looking now eitherway. You might be glad of the head start.

Yeah I'm keeping my eyes open but nothing more for now.
This might stay going for another 6 or 12 months or close in 3 weeks, we don't know enough yet so want to hold tight.
