Existing


Moving back to Florida has been hard. Grandma's house got infested with bedbugs three weeks before I came and no one (except my uncle that lives there) knew. He had to drink an unknown number of beers to work up the courage to tell us, after I had brought all my belongings into the house. Rather than deal with him, I've been living with my parents and two brothers. My brothers each have their own room and my kids and I are sleeping in the living room. I've been applying for jobs and received a single offer for a 3rd shift at a flooring manufacturing facility that requires multiple 12 hour shifts during the week. I had to decline because I'm physically incapable of working those hours. The furniture is uncomfortable to sleep on, so we've been blowing up an air mattress every night, which is also uncomfortable. There is no real point in complaining about any of this to anyone around me, they are all dealing with their own mental conditions. One job I would love to get interviewed for is court clerk. Please may they call me back! Working at a courthouse would be AWESOME! Getting the kids into school next month will also be nice. If I can't get hired anywhere by then I'll have to figure something out to pay the (very few) bills I have. Worrying is pointless though. Just gotta keep truckin' and doing yoga and taking walks in the forest:)
