If you had told me even a year ago that I would be working in a mental hospital, I probably would not have believed you. Even in the modern age, mental health remains a very stigmatized issue, and it’s true that mental hospitals can sometimes be very scary places. However, psychiatric care facilities (the proper […]
MoreMonday, March 29 As you can probably tell from the title, I am very happy to report that I no longer have covid! I officially stopped being contagious this past Friday, and the Massachusetts COVID-19 response team called me on Saturday morning to officially close my case. I celebrated by drinking wine, going grocery shopping […]
MoreTuesday, March 23 Long time, no write! Per usual, I’m really sorry for being so behind on my blog. I know that nobody really cares or is holding it against me, but this is more so an apology to myself for not feeling motivated enough. Maybe it’s the changing of seasons that’s throwing me off, […]
MoreMonday, February 15 I wasn’t scheduled to work this Monday, which means I have now had the past four days off. It seriously feels like I’m on vacation. If I wasn’t receiving unemployment benefits to compensate for the drop in hours I’ve experienced due to covid, I would probably be extremely upset to have all […]
MoreSunday, February 7 Now that we’re in February, the reality that I’m moving to Maine in April feels closer than ever. I’ve already found someone who might be potentially interested in subletting, and I’ve also started amping up my job search. Aside from doing adult-y things, however, I finally had a weekend that made me […]
MoreFriday, January 29 I’m very proud of myself for *not* procrastinating and actually getting started on my newsletter before the day I’m actually supposed to post it! Even if it’s just two days before, that’s still a step in the right direction. Right now I am sitting in a little cafe a few blocks from […]
MoreSunday, January 17 Hey folks! How are we doing today? I’m doing much better than I have in past weeks, hence why there hasn’t been a newsletter since now. The best way I can equate it is by comparing it to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. If you’re struggling with personal needs, your motivation is less […]
MoreMonday, December 28 Merry (late) Christmas to my friends who celebrate the holiday, and to everyone, I hope you all had a happy, safe weekend with your friends and family! My Christmas was pretty up-and-down, but overall uneventful. Actually, the entire past week was so simultaneously bad and yet anticlimactic in a way I can’t […]
MoreSunday, December 13 It’s crazy how quickly December is flying by, isn’t it? Honestly, I feel like the older I get, the faster the years are flying by. I suppose that’s probably a good thing right now, seeing how we’re still in the middle of COVID-19 and so many of us can’t wait for it […]
MoreWednesday, December 9 I’ve been at my new store for about two weeks now, and I have to say, it’s so nice not having to commute for multiple hours a day to go work at Starbucks. Now, my commute is only about twelve minutes, and my train fare has been cut in half, so I’m […]
