It's been almost 6 months since I started my new job two states away. I've spent the past two weekends loading U-Hauls and getting everything moved. Everything is finally here including my family which I most grateful for. Several of my new coworkers helped us move in which was a lifesaver. My wife recently got a new job as well and is really enjoying it after a string of really shitty jobs. My kids are enjoying their new schools and the new neighborhood. There are lots of kids nearby to play with which they are unaccustomed to since we lived in a very rural area. The move was very stressful but overall things seem to be working out. We even got an offer on our old house last week which we have accepted.
Over the past few months, my mom spent weeks in the hospital fighting a staph infection in her leg that got diagnosed incorrectly. She's finally on the mend and starting to walk without a walker or cane. However, one of my cousins also had trouble with one of her legs. She had an aneurysm in her leg that the surgeons were unable to successfully repair. They had to amputate twice. The first time they tried to save her knee but they had to go back later and remove it too due to complications. She's got a long road of recovery ahead.I'm tired ya'll. This is a very abridged version of the past 6 months. Things are slowly getting better but man am I tired. I'm going to have to take some vacation soon and do as little as possible.
Found out I'm not on the schedule at Duck Donuts this week. It sucks because it means that I won't get any hours for this pay period, which means I won't get a paycheck next Friday.
