This year…. this year is a crazy challenge for us all.
In February we voted in California’s primary, learned my middle son is on academic probation, struggled to get the kids jobs and dealt with crazy shit that makes me have difficulty watching the show Shameless cuz sometimes it hits so close to home! Not only did Bernie win Cali but the local Progressive I canvassed for, Dan Brotman, won in Glendale! Made me feel so great! That we can make a difference for decent change. Then all the other Dem nominees dropped like flies making the contest between Bernie & Biden and the Dem Greed decided “let’s do the Hilary race all over!” pushing Biden, because THAT worked last time.
Then in mid-March California closed! I was lucky because IKEA paid as emergency wages, what I would have earned if I’d been able to work my schedule for two months & on our last payday they also paid out all the PTO I’d accrued. And then they continued our benefits until they rehired us mid June. THIS is what working for an Ethical Company is all about. My unemployment payment came quicker that the boyfriend’s due to the fact I already had a state debit card from last year’s disability filing & didn’t have to wait a month for it to arrive in the mail. So during all this chaos, I’ve been lucky financially.
Sex God’s job was on hold for 2 months, which made sense as they are OFTEN in the homes of the elderly, moving them to a new place. But he’s NOT getting paid for this little vacation. And with all our lovely needed spring rain, he’s not been able to do almost anything, but artwork. I have no more room on my walls!!
Then in April my Coachella vacation got postponed to October and then to 2021! Which was very, very sad, although it does give me more time to heal my feet or lose some weight! lol All 5 of us opted to roll our tickets over to 2021, so at least I’m not out the money! And while I’m bummed not to see Yungblud, Danny Elfman & Joji, I wasn’t that thrilled with the lineup anyway.
I’ve barely touched the surface of ALL the crazy that’s happened in the last 6 months but obviously time management wasn’t one of the things I managed since this blog is months late!
Hopefully I’ll have better news for July.
Sorry, I digress.
