Exhausted and Taking A Break

Sorry all. My life seems to be spiraling a bit and I need to deal with that. My older cousin passed away this morning. I feel terrible about that. He’s had health issues for a while and the frustrating part he was warned for years he needed to get his health under control. My uncle has his own health related issues so I hope this doesn’t push him further into decline. One of my brothers’ is keeping me in the loop, but I saw some things already posted on FB about when he passed. Aside here, I loathe that people post when someone died on FB. I already warned my family if they do that I’m going to come back to haunt them.

 

I came home last night to severe water damage in my basement/office. The carpet is ruined, the ceiling is caving in and a wall needs taken out. Right now there’s about 10 fans going with five workers here and my cat is in hiding.

 

 

This started due to a faulty dishwasher and my kitchen floors need to come up and possible some cabinets.

 

So if all of that isn’t enough, my mentor is retiring at my job. He’s had enough (I don’t blame him). But that leaves a gap at our job and I found out Thursday they don’t plan on backfilling him so that means that once again I’m being told they have no plans to promote me at my job. I think I’m ready to move on and have started applying at other agencies.

 

Hope everyone is having a quiet Sunday filled with books.
