Pretty good. I passed my licensure exam on the first try and I’m the only person I know who did that AND took the test that others avoid. I honestly just wanted my life back whether I passed or not. I studied (or thought about studying) basically every damn day for the past month or so. FREEDOM!!!
Got a job offer for basically my same job +25% pay. Hoping my current place is willing to negotiate a match though because going to a bigger company would also give me less freedom to work on what I want.
I gave my boots to the local cobbler (one of two in a 30 km radius) because the sole is coming off and getting hole-y. This guy, whom I assumed would have maybe a couple repair jobs every few months, is completely overbooked and thus I’ll see my boots in maybe five weeks or so again. But, honestly, I’m glad for him that his little shop is booming (relatively speaking)
A lot of the older style trades are making a big comeback, so this isn’t that surprising. Hopefully, others will see how booked up they are and open more in the area for you
It’s going okay so far, but my area is forecast to have highs in the 100s later this week and I’m not sure how that’s gonna affect me, since I only really know how to dress in layers for work (I’m a trans woman working an office IT job where I do occasionally step outside or carry computers from one bldg to another)
Like, I’m gonna be wearing a thin cardigan over a tank top and I know I’m gonna sweat. Oh, and my hair instantly goes frizzy when I sweat. I’m dreading it.
I just started Summer Vacation today! Will be going on a hiking trip with my sisters in Norway in a couple of days, can’t wait! Hope you all are doing great :)
My sleeping schedule is bananas. I decided to just give up, and I’ve been slowly going to sleep at later and later times. Currently my bed time is ~5pm. A month ago it was ~4am. :s
I started therapy recently and after my session yesterday I felt really similar to how I’ve felt in the past after unloading a lot of my emotions in a giant cry session. I think that means I’ve unbottled those emotions in a healthier way this time, which is exciting!
Work is still stressful though, but I’ll keep getting by.
Turns out I might have either lupus (“it’s never lupus”, until it is) and/or Sjögren’s syndrome. Got a bunch of incredibly expensive blood tests done today (yay universal healthcare. Oh wait the conservatives effectively destroyed it so I have to use private healthcare and I’m uninsurable due to pre-existing conditions) and now I’m just waiting and experiencing nontrivial amounts of dread. Life was already barely worth living what with my existing health issues that already include autoimmune conditions, so this is just icing on the cake
Wow that sounds like a lot. I really hate the idea of privatized healthcare and I hope we do away with it eventually. I’m sending some good vibes your way, I hope your week turns around for you. ❤ We care about you
Pretty great actually! I just signed the offer letter for a new job and will turn in my notice at my current job later today. I’ve also been reconnecting with some old friends and was able connect some of them back with each other too. I stayed up a little late playing some games with them last night. It was great hearing everyone goofing around together again, it almost felt llike no time had passed at all

Congratulations on passing your exam first try!
Out of interest, what license was it?
It’s been beautiful out. This week is slow at work so I have time to sleep in and enjoy it.
Sounds like an excellent week!
Can’t complain so far :D

Waiting to call my boss this afternoon.
It’s stressful, to say the least.
@alyaza It’s going.
That’s actually better than most weeks prior.
i’m on my third day of a sore throat. doc confirmed it’s not strep, and i do seem to be slowly recovering, but ugh being sick sucks.
