2017 is already a wild ride

Let's NOT sugarcoat it, I am JOBLESS, unemployed, out of work, lazy millennial bum, trash, useless, inactive whatever is rolling off the people's tongue these days okay that's me.

I mean personally I'm not mad. I chose this. I willingly put in my two-weeks and left without at least making sure I had the promise of another job elsewhere. WHICH EVERYONE TOLD ME TO DO. My parent's (dad most specifically), even an old coworker who was like "DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID" But I was like,


"Nah man you found three jobs after you left this joint, I will too" 

NO. Hindsight is 20/20, and this is one of those moments I wish I listened to someone!! In my head I was like oh I'll leave this place and be able to find another job no problem. Not only am I having so much trouble finding a new job that pays me at least what I left HDOS with, but I'm also trying to set the bar higher and not do fast food. I refuse to cook other peoples food anymore. I can't. I'll serve, but not cook. Also I have to find a job in reasonable distance since I don't drive. I'm struggling okay. I'm twenty let me live and learn and frantically try to figure it out.

And to top it off I feel like I'm on a timer because Dom&co will be moving in and I feel like I need to be working before April so that way I can contribute my fair share, so it's like I'm on this crazy deadline of now one month. Plus I still am unsure what I actually want to do for school. I'm thinking learning a trade like massage therapy it's always hiring here, but my dream is to teach, but I have anxiety and today's kids are horrible!

Just let me... 

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~ 
all better..

I'm hoping if I play my cards right I'll get through this period stronger and on a better path then I am now... If I'm even on ANY path at all. Today I'll fill out some more apps, I'll study the DMV booklet again, I'll finish my FAFSA, but first I'm gonna go with a bunch of YSA kids to the temple and maybe I'll feel some spiritual revelation to help me through this. Not saying I don't have faith, but I doubt it. I'll be looking for it though!

On a Rainy Day


It's a rainy, gray, Saturday morning in my humble little town and what do I decide to do? Go out on a crazy adventure to get some crafts and candy for a dear friend who will be leaving our ward next week.

This friend like me suffers from anxiety, but unfortunately I fear hers is even worse. I figured moving must be really hard on her so I wanted to do some sort of nice gesture to hopefully help ease the anxiety that goes with moving wards and homes.

And thus the "Care-bag" "Goodie-bag?" idea was born!
I gathered some of my favorite "anxiety relievers" such as my favorite (CAFFEINE FREE obv) teas, face masks, and these steam eye things that honestly are gonna save my life! Plus some of my favorite candies and tried to wrap it up ala, "goody-bag" style. Which turned out to be way harder then I thought!
