Ponderings from May 8, 2025
This has been a really stressful week for me, and I’ve had to hit pause more than once. I’m working full-time from home now because my day job was suddenly phased out, with no warning.
I was already doing part-time work remotely, but earlier this week, while trying to submit my work, my screen suddenly blanked out. Just like that, I couldn’t access anything. I’ve earned no income this week and honestly, it’s been depressing.
To top it off, I haven’t heard a word from the company. No explanation, no goodbye, just silence. I’ve officially been ghosted by a job I was working nearly 60 hours a week for. It’s frustrating and unprofessional, and it stings more than I expected.
I’ve spent a lot of time sleeping this week. As someone living with multiple chronic illnesses, that kind of shutdown makes everything harder, physically and mentally.
Still, I’ve been pushing forward, filling out job applications every day. I finally heard back from one company today, and I’m going through their training program now. So fingers crossed, I’m hopeful this might be a fresh start.
What’s gotten me through? My family (including my two fur babies) and music, especially Jelly Roll. His song “I Am Not Okay” was my anthem this week. His lyrics hit so differently when you’re going through it.
On a lighter note, I’m also an Amazon Affiliate, and I’ll be sharing products I personally use and recommend. I’ll add new finds as I order them, and once I’ve used them for a week or two, I’ll post honest reviews right here. If you see a product listed without a review yet, it’s something I’m currently trying out!
Thanks for being here and following along. This space helps me process, reflect, and connect.
The dogs are snoring. I’m signing off. See you tomorrow. 💜
