I'm just gonna go ahead and dump here, nobody try to reassure me or try to offer suggestions because that's really not what I'm looking for, what I really want is an unadulterated pity party that won't commit me into being in a bad mood for at least the rest of the day. Here goes:
-the car that I just got approved for and started making payments on in October is breaking down again for the third time since i've personally owned it and needs to be fixed again by the mechanic who initially put the new transmission in, he just so happens to live a few hundred miles away and odds are the car won't make it that long/ far but the reality of it is that he hasn't even attempted to return any calls on the matter. Even if he did and could work on the car this week, his work sucks and the car needs to be sold as soon as it's fixed. I hate to dump it on somebody like that but this car really is a hot-potato, I need to pass it before it fucks me out of getting something more user friendly even if that means me having to go through the loan process again to get something a little newer/ better/ more expensive all around.
-my glorious move away from home has officially worn off it's golden facade, the friend that I had originally moved in with ended up being a completely crazy bitch and i am now staying with a girl I met a few weeks ago. That being said, she apparently relapses like a motherfucker and is one of those tricky ones that shows no signs of having any sort of grasp on the program or recovery in general. That also being said, she often comes home high and lying and generally fucked. I'm beginning to wonder if it's not me, but really- it's not me. I've had a few people ask me if I'd want to get a place with them since I've moved up here including a coworker, my main thing is like, I don't know you, you don't know me, I hate living with people and I'm a shitty person to live with so let's just not go there in the first place.
-my job is currently going well enough, but the truth is that I'm not getting paid as much as I'm worth and honestly, one can only expect so much of a check doing what I do, the thing that sucks is that I was spoiled by the job that I had before I moved and everything else is going to suck until I get another one like it. For instance- I now work 45-65 hours a week to make what I used to work around 35-40 for. My schedule also sucks and I'm just now getting time off because they thought I liked "to work that much" like pls bitch, even I have more of a life than that. Also, this job is more of a superficial type compared to working with the individuals with disabilities and it turns out that I'm not enjoying the 'break' from it as much as I thought I would and I'm definitely having a hard time about giving a fuck enough to fit in or try to conform for 7.50 an hour at 40+ hours a week. I overheard some staff talking last night about how certain employees don't seem to be enjoying themselves as much and meshing into "******** (the store name) culture" and isn't faking loving busting ass for a pathetic check and would easily be replaced by twenty who would, aka- one if not more of these bitches ain't conforming and should really just save somebody's breath and quit now. My thing is, no I will not sell out for 7.50 an you at forty hours a week, fuck you very much. I have dignity and respect and know who I am enough to know that I'm worth more than what your brand wants me to be, I'd rather change diapers and spoon feed than have to act and dress the way the employees in that store are expected to.
-I just talked to my little sister on the phone about the fact that none of this housing is as cheap or available as I'd hoped and that I'm running out of options and might have to come home and she tells me, "nooooooooooooo, you can't come here" like believe me dude, I know you're right on this one. In fact, it's the last thing I want to do and I hate to be a pussy about it and have to throw the towel in, but honestly there's only so much I can do as far as making things come together goes. If it's not meant to be it's not meant to be, but goddamn I hate having to admit that. A part of me says fuck all and wants me to take things into my own hands which leads me to
-the fact that na and the people in na keep telling me to seek god's will, do what god wants, follow my gut, etc, I'm all over here like, I'll do whatever god wants as long as it doesn't mean going home. Like, no. Fuck that, I can sit around and meditate and pray all day and act like it gets me anywhere but I'd be a fucking liar if I said that I had any inclination as to what god's will for me is, and I'd be a god damn liar to act like I ever have with the exception of getting clean. Honestly I wouldn't even care if I stayed up here but the recovery up here is so good and so is the idea of me actually being able to make it up here. Like, I had been up here for a month and had the best birthday I've had in a long time thanks to some awesome people, compare that to the birthdays that I've had at home where I literally had to drag people around with me for me not to be alone on my birthday. It's just better up here, man..
-I haven't had a cigarette in two weeks and I've been having cravings like a motherfucker, my only hope is that I continue to kind of come out of this spaced-out fog that I always get when I quit, goddam the promise that I made to my little sister for her graduation present. Besides, I'm already so far in, for me to go back to smoking at this point would be a conscious decision.
-not having a kitchen at my disposal is really fucking wreaking havoc on my body. Not only have I gained weight from stress and quitting cigarettes, but also from not exactly having farm-fresh vegetables at my disposal. The taco bell and wendy's can only serve the purpose for so long, after a while even the act of eating alone makes me feel sick. I'm literally more out of shape than I've ever been, I feel constantly physically uncomfortable and I know I look like a fucking slob. My coworker asked me to go out dancing tonight and I didn't really want to because I was working o art in the first time in forever and was on roll, however it
would have been nice to have looked decent enough in anything to have
wanted to go out. I have a gym membership but suck at being a morning person unless I have good morning food and some time to be alone as I gain consciousness so I haven't made it a point to go before work, also because I've been bl'ing until 5, 6 in the morning and sleep pretty much up until. The gym isn't open after I get out of work and I need new running shoes, I'm having a hard time even considering new ones when I know that I'm going to have a dramatic jump in rent very soon. I also could use more than essentially more than two sets of athletic wear, but hey- baby steps.
-I haven't had a room of my own in some time, all of my belongings are in my car right now with the exception of my clothes and some of my bathroom items. This is fine except the girl that I'm staying with will randomly be wearing my stuff and I have to be like, "be careful with that shirt, I've only worn it once"
-gahhhhh
there's a lot more to it than this, I just really had to dump the major points on an uninvolved and unsuspecting party. Thanks, tds
