It's been so long since I've last posted on my blog. I almost left posting here for good. The anonymity of PF still feels safe.
There have been enough of not so good expectations in my life. Some days I feel downtrodden, but mostly I bounce back up really fast. I have a full-time job that pays my bills for me at this time. It pays my medical insurance to see my pdoc, therapist, and any other medical needs that I may have. I have a great pharmacy plan that covers ALL my meds, which are many and many name brands meds such as Vraylar, Janumet, Jardiance, Ozempic. Those are the main ones. They are the most expensive, but through mail order, I can get them at very decent prices.
My job entails going in early. I wake up at 4:30 or 5 am each weekday. I get out no later than 1:30pm. I have many holidays off. Federal holidays off and with pay. But I do not make a lot of money. At all.
I am now saving money on a monthly basis to help me with unexpected expenses instead of living from paycheck to paycheck. This is very important and necessary for me to be able to deal with unexpected expenses. I am budgeting very well. I have very little money to move around, but I am very happy in life with this job.
I have a new friend whom I am also in a romantic relationship with him. He is so good to me. I feel so happy with him. He is 51 and I am glad I still see him. I met him in March of 2021, but we didn't date past the first date because I was not yet legally divorced. Now that I am divorced since June 2021, he is back in my life and it feels good that it was him who sought me out. He was and is still interested in me. I am very lucky to have him in my life.
I will soon get my vision checked and get some prescription sunglasses. I have dental insurance through my job. I am indeed blessed. I work for the school district and I have all weekends off, I am never called in past my allotted time that I work, and I have the whole summer off. This summer I will have enough money saved up to only attend college and not worry about working during that time. How lucky can you get! I can go to the beach, I will have to study to do well, and loads of other fun things I can do during my time off. I just had 2 weeks off, paid, from my job too. It took me a while to get where I am at. I had to work for 5 months before I got placed in my permanent position and could get full-time hours and also receive benefits. But it's been so worth it.
I will end here with stating that I am in a great place in my life.
