How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Had an interview today get canceled because they had already filled the position, so lol. The other one I had today seemed to go well, but I'm skeptical that I'll make it to the next round because of my inexperience in my current career. However, I have a lot of transferable experience in my previous career and this company seems willing to train, so who knows. The silver lining is that I've been getting some fantastic experience interviewing, which is always helpful.

Great, Found out that some of the corrupted files on my 3TB hard drive that failed a week ago were able to be fixed and be restored without any issue which is fucking awesome. My pc also freaked me out because it stayed on the motherboards splash screen for a bit, I unplugged and replugged it in and it works now. Mr. Panzer got a great raise at his work too and I'm so fucking proud of him! Everything seems great now.

my thoughts are so unorganized and unclear, having trouble keeping my words and thoughts separate. i don’t really know how to explain it other than feeling out of my own head in a way. there’s some sickness going around here and i’m one of the few in my work area that hasn’t caught it so maybe it’s my turn i guess. only other symptom is some light nausea so i guess it’s either some mild sickness or withdrawal. this heats got me in a shit mood too so that’s not helping at all

anyways my car window is stuck down and won’t roll up. don’t know what to cover it up with and my only solution i can think of is to tape some razor blades under the door handle in case someone try’s to open it. AC is running like shit too so it might be time to start putting some money into my car

I just took care of a family emergency. It really takes a lot out of you when your family is in a crisis. Maybe the residual stress from that is why I'm letting stupid shit get to me.

On the bright side, I have an employment opportunity opening up for me! I get to be a fair worker again! I don't know if anyone else here shares this feeling with me, but carnie life forever!

I kind of accepted we've hit the March 2020 of the '22 Depression. I feel like there's been a lot of talk about it happening since the beginning of the year but it took six months for the average person to feel the accumulating effects.

Everyone is either miserable or still has enough in them to be polite not to show their misery. No one can avoid the cost of traveling unless you strictly walk everywhere. No one can avoid the cost of food.

In my part of Canada, the housing crisis was already a growing issue from 2018 and spiraled out of control in the pandemic but people have managed for the most part. Adding on the extra costs no one can avoid on a renting population that's already crippled and pretty much guarantee newly married young couples are priced out of the housing market.

I was too young to fully feel the effects of the 2008 recession but I also think the internet was too and that we are about to archive online a "depression era" in human history and it looks increasingly bleak all around. Like my life is shit, but do I need to know how shit everyone else's is and every tragedy that occurs in coping with it?

Sure, I can temporarily turn it all off and pretend it's not happening. And sometimes I do, for a moment of peace. But the wheels keep turning and it never stops.

Anyways, I'm depressed but I'm mostly okay about it because that feels like the natural reaction to what's happening. If I had pure optimism and hope, I'd be ignorant. But it kind of sucks right now and it doesn't feel great and I'm not sure it will for another few months - at least, and that's my optimist quota met for the day.

I'm... Well to be honest, I'm not doing well at all. My oldest child went to the doctor because she was anemic a week ago and was told today she has cancer. I can't even begin to process it yet. The doc is still doing tests, but is fairly certain it is Lymphoma. It is not only treatable, but curable, but it's not helping much. Keeping up the appearance of holding it together for my other two kids just made me need somewhere to vent.

I'm sorry if I bring down anyone having a good day, but go hug someone you love.

Slightly more positive update on this: She had her bone marrow biopsy yesterday and the preliminary results were clear. We had an infectious disease specialist in today and she was certain it was a massive infection somewhere in her body. Also with the clear prelim the oncologist was less certain of his cancer diagnosis, but both doctors are waiting for the full workup on monday before we have any answers.

I've studied under various pastors over the years. I had a collection of videos of one notorious ass who used to be kind of based back in the 90s, but he's past his prime and does too much kike ass kissing. Today I finally finished. I used to learn from him, then it became studying the pos himself and his dirty tricks and idiocies. I was once the learner, now I am the master... or something.
It was cool decades ago, but I know too much. I no longer have to study this idiot and have proven in my heart he's not trustworthy. He's a bad guy, and a propagandist. He sprinkles a few really neat things with his methodical brain massaging and it's terrible. Boomers and normies love him. If I said his name, you'd know him. He's really notorious for jew ass kissing, mental games and scripture twisting. So I am majorly relieved I never have to do this ever again. I will study the Lord and scripture in another direction and I'm excited for it. The relief... the relief...

Also I get to do cooking today I have never done before. I have never had a reason to use olive oil (I'm using extra virgin) before and I'm going in full tilt. I'm tossing out all the bad vegetable oil in my stash and only using this as needed. I'm excited about a new chicken dish today. I looked at the oil I had and it was a giant bottle of NOTHING BUT SOY. THERE WERE NO OTHER INGREDIENTS BUT SOY. Fuuuudge. I never noticed before.
If you smell barbecue sauce by the ton (no high fructose corn syrup or crap in it either) and glorious chicken near the level 4 dungeon I'm in... you're not invited.

And my health has regained a little without medical help. I'm happy about it. I managed to move around and get about 4 hours of real exercise in the last two days. I'm sporting a new really short haircut so going out in the summer sun in my black cloak is a lot cooler. ... What? You can only cast so many coolant spells before your arms get tired. Also I look really good with it too. Hot damn, I'm a sexy tech mage.


EDIT: - The chicken was fantastic! I'm so proud of it. I never knew the power of olive oil. I'd never use slutty non-virgin olive oil though. ... Dirty oil. I have leftovers for a couple of days because that's how I cast.

I'm doing wonderful, last night I was getting the last bit of a coding project done and my husband decided to sit with me in my chair and sleep, while I was compiling it, I fell asleep too, I didn't even remember that until I woke up and asked why we were both in the chair lol.

To my Suprise, I got advanced to the next round for a job I applied for. Had to take one of those goofy 'personality traits assessments' which was no big deal since I just always select the answers I think they're looking for. What was weird was that there was a writing assessment where I had to write a three page, academic style essay about plagiarism of all things. It was pretty easy to fart something out, since I have a minor in writing.

Some family from out of town dropped by today too, and that was pretty nice. Got to spend some time with some cousins I really like and an Uncle I go to the shooting range with. They had a super friendly dog, and there's nothing as fun as a friendly, playful dog.

Does anyone else here like religious studies? Just curious because it's one of my interests. I've been indulging in it a lot lately. I've also been brooding on how I've always wanted to be a monk. I know that sounds stupid. When I used to share that with people in the past, they would usually be surprised or make fun of me. In retrospect, I understand why since it's not something you usually expect to hear someone long for. I still wish I could be a monk, but that will have to wait.
