So this blog has not turned out to be the documentation of life changing experiences the way I expected. Nevertheless, my life has indeed changed, and for the better.
LIFE UPDATE:
I started a job at a local pizza restaurant near my apartment in July, and was expecting to work there for the foreseeable future. I worked there... a month. My anxiety got the best of me, and I found it very difficult to handle the double shifts they often scheduled me for. I missed multiple shifts, calling in sick, and was super nauseous at the ones I actually went to. While my coworkers were supportive, I felt like I was drowning, and I just couldn't handle the stress the job was giving me.
My mom gave me a way out, and I took it, thinking I was doing the right thing. Now, I'm not so sure, but it's what happened and I learned a lot. I decided to move to Idaho for a month and live with my grandparents and help my grandma out as she wasn't eating and she was just all around in bad health. I was super excited to cook for her, and spend time with them and my cousins, because I've never really gotten to know any of them. I felt like this was a great idea because 1. I didn't have to work. 2. I could help my grandma, and be all selfless and stuff. 3. Cooking food? Hello!!! 4. I could work on developing good habits before school started.
Well, I lasted a week. I liked not having to work, and cooking, but my grandma was really hard to be around. The local Kmart legitimately has a codeword for her on their radios for when she comes in the store because she is a shopoholic. She'd run off and drive somewhere, which would normally be fine, but she's almost always heavily medicated. My family is very dysfunctional, and I've never really lived in that kind of environment, and it was just really toxic. But I did get to hang out with some awesome cousins of mine, and cook for my grandma, and she's been gaining more weight as I understand. Most likely due to her pixie stick addiction, but weight is weight, right? Anyway, long boring post, but a much more interesting (and probably just as long) post is coming your way soon. :)
