Where do I even start with the mess my life has been since my last entry?
I think I've been processing life at lease somewhat well so I haven't felt an overwhelming desire to make an entry, but I've also just been lazy. Now that I feel like writing an entry, I feel the need to recap.
On November 10th my grandma let a couple of strangers into the house while my parents were out and I was asleep. They claimed to be with our cable provider, but they very obviously weren't. I don't think they took anything other than scamming my grandma out of a $50 check that she was lucky enough to get canceled and had to pay a $30 fee. That could've went a lot worse.
Da and I secured a hotel room for Dec 27-30th and we both paid half, about $142 each. As of this moment I still owe him $50 for my half. Money has been tight and I'm not always as responsible as I should be. But I'm trying! I promise!
My parents haven't been doing so well money-wise. They've borrowed money from me during three pay periods. The first two they have paid back. They currently owe me $317.93. It's a pretty yikes situation to have your parents owing you money. Rip my credit card (but also my credit score is good).
Thanksgiving with Da's family wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be. Social anxiety, strangers, awkwardness; that's what I expected. Instead I was surrounded by some pretty friendly people. My favorite people to have met included Da's nana and a little 3 or 4 year old girl who I believe is Da's cousin's daughter. His nana is sweet and lively and doesn't look her age at all. She also had just recently had some kind of new surgery or treatment done to help get rid of wrinkles that made her face look like it had freckles. The cute little girl loved playing with Play-Doh and made everyone "try" her "ice cream." She was adorable. I also loved meeting Da's aunt's dogs (heart eyes). I can't remember both of their names, but the more outgoing one that wanted my attention was Teddy. I loved him so much. I need a dog so bad.
After Thanksgiving, my dad and I went back to work the following Friday. He felt fine during the first half of the day, but by the time lunch came around, he felt awful. We both stayed out of work our next shift and got covid tests on Monday, November 29th. He had a rapid test and a flu test. He was positive for covid. I got my test back like 3 days later and I was negative. It's possible that my mom and grandma had covid first and they gave it to my dad, but they never tested and already recovered by the time my dad started feeling bad. I felt fine the whole time we were in quarantine. We also got paid while on covid19 leave which was nice. But I think Jacob got covid, too. His mom refused to get him tested for it, suggesting that the test administrator would poke his brain with the swab or something stupid like that. She and her husband eventually did get tested after Jacob recovered and they both had covid. We only missed work between Nov. 28th-Dec. 8th, which was 6 shifts for me.
Because of covid and quarantine, I was unable to see Da for the first two weeks of December. I didn't get to see him between Nov. 26th and Dec. 13th. I missed him so much. But I finally got to see him on the 14th and I couldn't get enough of his cuddles. He came back to my house again the next day, too.
Work has been bleh. As per usual, bosses are shit at communicating and no one ever knows what's going on. A coworker of mine doesn't like to do her job and threw a hissy fit about where she has to work. She's like late 60s or early 70s. Grow up. She also was trying to tell a lie about me, but another coworker stood up for me in my absence. I was grateful for that coworker. Luckily, the bad coworker is off on Thursdays and Fridays so I only have to even think about her for half of the days I'm scheduled. Two days of peace from her noise.
More stuff has definitely happened since Halloween, but I'm tired and I have to wake up for work in about 5.5 hours.
Today was a whole ass day. Work sucked. The store manager told me that I have to stand in the cold for my job now and I was depressed about that today. It's hard to even pretend to be cheery when you're so cold. The wind, especially from doors opening and closing, is what makes it most difficult. Anyway, my grandma accused my parents and I of stealing her medicine. I took J outside so he doesn't have to witness any more. My grandma eventually found her "missing" medicine and came outside to apologize to me.
I'm so tired.
