DECEMBER 31, 2022

well, hello all! it has been over a year since I last wrote anything. I'm not sure why, as this used to be such a huge outlet, but I've really let it slip in the past few years. actually, the real reason was I was still struggling with so much stuff. However, it has all finally come together. Over 4 years ago, I was rear-ended, and the final result was it ended my.former career. I struggled from October 2018 to September 2019 to be able to do the job( I started at 4 hours, 2 days a week, and ended up sitting at 24 hours a week working 3 days , spending 4 days recovering, 1 OK day and then repeated the cycle. It was not a good space, physically or mentally. after having some intense evaluations done, I was told my career was over. So, in short, I was on Long term disability for 2 years. I have 2 part time jobs now, one I work part-time as a administrative assistant, and the second is as a server. I just settled the legal aspect of the accident, which was another huge relief. I can now say I'm debt free... ( in the grand scheme of things, I didn't owe a huge amount, but I am so relieved that it's done). I've learned a lot about my relationship with money over the past 4 years, and have adjusted my attitdue towards it. LG and I are still going strong. It's been over 7 years, and evey day I appreciate him more and more. My darling daughter recently got engaged. I may splurge on a lap top, as my trusty computer is still working, but I'm.not sure for how much long. I want to wish each and everyone a wonderful 2023. I'll be back again soon. Sam
