So the big news this month is I am no longer gainfully employed.
I am staying on at work until the 24th as a favor to my employer, because another co-worker is on FMLA. I'm not sure what prompted me to agree to stay on longer, because I really am at the end of myself.
I had a very hard week so far, and I think Charlie is going to sprout more gray hairs.
*My car broke down and is going to take a few hundred to fix.
*Charlie hurt himself badly under his left arm, and can't wear his harness right now.
*Fleas have stepped up their game and now all our cats have them.
I am avoiding social media right now because I can't get a grip on what to think/say/do, so if you miss me - I'm sorry.
Leaving work yesterday was awful. There is no trace of me here - and everything I've worked for over the past two years seems in vain. I sacrificed self, family, fun, health and home all to be the best I could be at work - and it's moving on without me. It's just a lot to process.
I love you, dear reader. Please be gentle with yourself and try not to worry about me. I'm just going to take it at whatever pace I am given, while I try to decide what to do next.
I'm so sorry, Beth! Reading your post made me so sad and brings back memories! Retiring from nursing was so hard-I fought it as much as I could! Even now, not working as a nurse is so hard. Try to find other things to fill your time. It is a BIG change and does take time to adjust to. I'm thinking of you every day!
