I’ve been stripped of my employment, financial stability, mental fortitude, and wellness. I refuse to lose my hair too

If you can’t braid thick hair without needing to plaster it down like you laying kitchen backsplash you need another career choice. Between the depression, unemployment and the back pain I do NOT have time to deal with my head being matted 🤦🏽♀️

Sometimes I look back at photos and see how many hairstyles I had in college and it’s baffling to me cause yes I had two jobs, rent was $400 and I kept a fresh hairstyle but I was always broke.

My 3rd-grader was learning about how bills. He told me he watched a video about it.
I started singing "I'm Just a Bill," and he started singing along.
He was able to tell me all the steps perfectly, so I guess the song still works!

There’s a certain look people give you when you walk in to ask about a job that makes you feel like you’ve just asked “where do you keep your goats?” And I’ve seen it so often lately that if I ever do get employed again I promise to never look at anyone that way. Not that I think I ever did.

I’m not mad I had to dig thru my car for coins with a bad back. I’m mad that every person behind the counter just started at me like a nematode that has never heard of what I was asking to do before. Like it was a foreign concept I just made up
I’ve come to this Pines library for so long and every time I’ve had to print something I’ve been directed to my Pines account to pay through the site. The ONE DAY I desperately need a copy of my resume they NEED cash and can’t accept the money thru app. 45¢ mind you

So for the past few years, I have been writing what was supposed to be a short story about a vampire living in the antediluvian era. It has now turned into 450 pages , and I am calling this story “When The Rain Comes”. This is a the vampire protagonist Xanthar. I had it commissioned years ago.

I will never get “me” out of other people so why wouldn’t I be my own greatest love. I’ve seen my love first hand and it cannot be imitated.

Portal led to random 3rd party. Info probably sold off again. Yeah paper application me. I’m sick of this shit 🫠
Hyatt makes you go through 3 different “create an account” portals just to apply for a front desk role. If someone went through that much effort to pretend to be me, let them.
