| I'm starting this blog on 10/7/2025. I'm hoping to capture my thoughts and experiences regarding writing, acting as my mom's cancer caregiver, my own struggles with chronic illness and my hopes and goals. |
| First day after my two-week notice was up. First day unemployed...and I got so much done today! I've got a ton of projects at home to catch up on so I'm happy about having time for those. I'm worried about being unemployed we can definitely handle it for a while, but it does make me nervous. I needed the time to sort out my health and be with my mom since her cancer is making a comeback. I applied for a job that I'm perfectly qualified for today. I am also feeling the imposter syndrome intensely. I've done the same work, there might be some things that are new to me but I can learn. And I can learn them. I learn fast and I learn well. My brain likes to tell me that I can't though, that I'm too old, too sick, too slow. Learning to ignore that seems to be a lifelong process. There's a very good chance I don't get the job, which is entirely fine. But, I wish that applying wasn't such an ambiguous task. You never know why you weren't chosen, some times it's just the software they use to peruse the resumes that kicks you from the pile. I'm ecstatic to be getting my 3D printing set up back up and moving. I have a filament printer to add to the mix. That's the kind with the spools of plastic that feed into a tip that melts it and prints it onto a moving bed. I already had a resin printer, that one uses UV resin and a special light to print layers of UV cured resin onto the plate. Fun stuff. I will have time to tinker a bit and I do love to tinker, so I'm thrilled about it. I need to vent everything outside of the house though and that will be a bit of a project. I need a grow tent, a fan and an exhaust pipe to push the resin and plastic fumes out of the house. It will cost a bit of money and as I'm not working at the moment it might take a bit to collect what I need to get things moving. I had considered printing things for people as a service. Finding customers is the challenge. Though some of my friends do need some things printed...I don't really want to charge them. Other than personal projects, I'm going to be cleaning out the shed in the back, we've been collecting junk in there for a few years now and it's gotten to be overwhelming. I also need to rearrange the basement, we've been throwing stuff down there all willy nilly since we moved back in after the fire and it's a waste of good space. My dog and my cat are beyond happy that I'm home with them today. They haven't left my side. Couldn't ask for better companions. |

I know I've goofed up relationships that were a little weird to begin with and I'm left wondering which one of us is doing it wrong. You're no crazier than anyone else
