Whisper Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Haven't been doing well lately. Work went from really stressful to super stressful, and then November happened, which is always a really hard month for me. Almost everything healthy has gone by the wayside, which surely isn't making anything better, so my challenge right now is to get back to doing the basics. Daily Take meds Brush and floss Shower Eat a fresh fruit Eat a fresh vegetable Engage with NF Today I took my meds, and filled the pill holders for this next week. I brushed, flossed and showered. I eat a banana and had fajita vegetables in my burrito. I posted this. 7 Quote We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God. We are prodigals come home; fully seen and deeply loved. Put together enough small wins over a long enough period of time, and you’ll find yourself in high level gear fighting dragons before you know it.

Whisper Posted November 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Today is the worst part of November. The worst moment is done but still feeling extremely frayed. Part of me wants turn Blue October up really loud and just get lost in it, but that would just resonate with the hurt. Took my meds this morning. Didn't have time for lunch today, so stopped at crown burger on the way home. I don't think fried mushrooms count as "fresh veggies ", so I'll grab so carrot sticks with it. Maybe listen to the Piano Guys and do some mining in Minecraft for a bit. 6 Quote We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God.

Whisper Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Tuesday got stuck at work late and then had bell practice in the evening. Did all the things except NF and shower. Had dentist after work today. Went fairly well, no issues but did get the flossing lecture. Made for a long day. Trying to get dinner together now. 3 Quote We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God. We are prodigals come home; fully seen and deeply loved.

Whisper Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Brace yourself for a shocking bit of information: I'm not wearing any clothes right now. doom Doom DOOM! I'm taking a bath for the first time in probably 4 years. Hadn't taken one at my current place, and place before this only had a shower. My knee has been stiff and bothering me, so I'm hoping a hot soak will help it. I survived Wednesday. We had our annual internal safety audit and the whole process of getting ready for it and doing it was super stressful. Some context on my work situation; I've been a Maintenance Tech at the same manufacturing plant for 11 years now. Over that time I've had more responsibilities put on me, beyond what a tech would do, but with no real recognition or compensation. About 2 years ago I started pushing hard to fix that, and the guy that had been my "manager " since I started announced his pending retirement. The "manager" is because he never really managed Maintenance. No structure, pass downs, procedures, real PMs, training... End of last year, they started transitioning to a new Manager, but instead of just Maintenance, he also had warehouse. New guy tried, but he wasn't given the support he needed, and was leaning on me heavily to the point of me being the defacto Maintenance Supervisor. A few months ago, he managed to get me a pay raise and promotion to "Lead", And then announced his retirement with two weeks notice. So, I went from being a Tech pretending to be a Supervisor, to being a Lead pretending to be a Manager. And almost all of the prep for the audit fell on me. Or at least fixing all the problems everyone else is scurrying around trying to find at the last moment. I've been totally tapped out. Last week didn't keep up with any goals at all. Moving back towards them yesterday and today. Cleaning myself, taking my meds properly, a bit of cleaning up at home too. Things should be a bit calmer with the audit done. Still going to be too much to do with not enough people to do it. 4 Quote We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God. We are prodigals come home; fully seen and deeply loved.

Whisper Posted December 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Monday I forgot to take my pill holder to work, but did take them at home with dinner, and got them put with my lunch stuff to make sure I brought them today. Took a shower, washed my hair and shaved. Didn't brush or floss. I have at long last confronted my fear of my work water bottle; it was fine, no dark plot to kill me in my sleep. So I've been drinking water, which is good. 1 2 Quote We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God. We are prodigals come home; fully seen and deeply loved.

Whisper Posted January 4 Author Report Share Posted January 4 Had two 4-day weekends in a row. First one had Christmas Eve and Christmas and took all the spoons. New Years weekend I managed to not leave home for four days in a row and it was really good. Work is still really crazy. I'm pushing them to look at compensation for the fact that I've been defacto manager for a quarter of a year now. Sure they gave me raise right before that, but I agreed to be a lead, not do all this stuff. On the bright side, I'm currently training two new techs. More to do in the short term, but it'll take pressure off once I get them going. Debating trying to jump into the next challenge. 4 Quote We are not sinners trespassing in the garden of an angry God.
