Ugh

I really don't have an update on the blog life, so here's Admiral James Kirk.

Useless Update

More money, more problems. But good problems?

Sigh...

It's been chaos, but better. I quit the restaurant and am hoping to be driving any day now for UPS. IM Everyone says it's a great gig if I can get there. Still waiting.

Progress

Lately, things have been steering towards a better direction. It's still hard, but the view looks nice where we're going for a change. New cars, new jobs, family connections trickling in. It's something, for sure.

New Beginnings

I quit my job of 4½ years yesterday, and I didn't realize how bad it was. I feel happier than I have in weeks. The pending sense of doom is lifting. I should be driving at UPS within a month! Here's to the next step! Holy wah.

Yay

I replaced the battery on the OGBW. It started and ran, and I moved it. It has no brake lights or turn signals though. Ugh.

Bullshit

Crazy bullshit, this life is. Last year, we were beginning to make plans to get into a camper, saving up some money to commit to a plan of action that would allow us to crush saving up for a house. Fast forward to now, and the camper has allowed us the freedom of not living in my parents basement (again). I've been beaten down, lied to, gaslit, betrayed, made empty promises. I spent four years with a company that forgot I existed. I went from five shifts a week, three managing, down to one shift a week as a cook. People with less seniority than me, people that have been fired, in fact, are working more shifts than me. This is why men kill themselves. Not everyone has this much resilience. I mean, losing everything I own, losing a son, losing another son for a year, moving, across the county, across town... It's almost too much.
