A Life Update- Early April 2025

For the past few weeks, a lot has happened to me offline. I mentioned some of these things in a pervious life update post, but as per usual, more things happened. Some bad. Some good. And some still make me really happy to think about!

In my previous post (You can read it here) I talked about one of my relatives falling very ill. I was extremely worried about them and would feel very upset at the thought of something that reminded me of them. I am happy to report my relative has recovered and is doing much better now! Although my relative is one of my oldest relatives alive, I am so happy to know they still have more time here on Earth!

As for other problem I mentioned in the post, it did not ended so well. Sadly, my vehicle is still immobile. I was borrowing a vehicle from my relative, but this soon became a strain on both of us. My relative relies on the vehicle as the “nice” vehicle and uses it frequently as an alternative to their work truck. Since it is heavily used, I need to wait my turn to use the truck and then drive it where ever I need to be. In order to reduce the extra use of the use of the vehicle, I decided to shop closer to home whenever possible. This helped, but it was really frustrating and annoying.

After another failed attempt to fix my vehicle (Right now it is assumed it is a computer problem) it was decided to purchase a new vehicle. One was found, purchased, and is now waiting for the right papers to arrive so I can start to drive it. I’m really upset I needed to get a new vehicle, but this one is really nice in many ways. In fact I prefer it to my old one. Like my old one, it is an older vehicle and has quite a few miles on it. Yet, it was better maintained by it’s previous owners than my old one was. It does need some cleaning, but nothing as severe as my old vehicle.

In other news, I’m worried about a lot of things. I began to pain the kitchen and so far it is a major success. It amazes me how much better the walls look with new paint on them! I am worried about painting the rest of the house though. Through my attempts to clean the house I made an even bigger mess in it. This causes me problems when it comes to painting.

I’m also worried about the economy (Who isn’t?!) and job security. If anything were to happen to my current job, I will need to apply for one in my nearby town. The idea of this makes me sick with worry. I’m not fond of working there for several reasons, but I know in order to earn a paycheck, I will need to do this. Still, I don’t like this. Since I am so worried, I am taking online certification courses in order to pad my future resume. So far I’ve already achieved certification in one area of study. Still, I’m looking for others in career fields I want to have certifications in.

The final worry I have is how well my health is doing. Right now I have really good days when I can be very active while others are not. This yo-yo effect on my physical is taking a toll on my mental health. So far I’m doing well and I am trying to be more open about how I feel on my down days, but I still feel frustrated. There isn’t much I can do except continue to push myself to do things on my good days while giving myself the chance to rest on my bad days. So far it does work… sort of. I’m still pretty crabby, snippy, and just not a pleasant person I like to act like every day. It is something I am trying to work on, but still. It’s hard.

That’s all for now! Thank you for reading!
