Ok so here is my day.

A.C. specialist came this morning and got it running again.

This afternoon, it died again. One of the hottest days of the year. I have been waiting an hour to hear back from them.

Why have I waited? Because I am on call today and one customer called in around noon, I drove all the way out there and he cancelled the call when I was in the parking lot. I drove all the way back and he placed another call. So new shift guy is trying to fix the machine but odds are I have to drive back down there.

I put on shorts, wtf do you want?

Sorry, I am not happy.
Shorts are off again.

doesn't really cover it. I'd drink.

All I can say is that I don't think about it. I just do whatever needs to be done to get through the day.

Didn't think I'd survive my divorce. Leaving my husband with maybe $500 in the bank. Loaded up all of my possessions on a moving van, moved from AK back to MT. Started a new job. First time living on my own. I was scared shitless every single day that I would fail. But I didn't.
Just when I was starting to adjust mom was diagnosed with cancer. Dad was working and I didn't want him to be blackballed by the union for quitting a job (it happens) so I asked to work from home in order to take care of her post surgery. I was either working or helping mom for over two months. When all of that was over and I finally got a moment to stop and take it all in I was freakin exhausted. Still dont know how I managed to do it.
Few years of quiet and mom needs a hip replacement. Dad's retired now but I still try to do everything I can during her recovery. All is well until she developes a blood clot and spends the day before Thanksgiving in the ER. But she's stubborn (I take after her so ) and insisted on coming home. I had a turkey thawed, had to cook it or throw it in the trash so I spent a very stressful day hovering over mom, her oxygen tank and heart monitor in between peeling potatoes and basting a turkey.
And then the icing on the cake...the next day I get a midnight text from my supervisor at work saying verbatim "I'm really drunk right now and need someone to fuck". From a 53 y/o married devout Christian. parked my ass outside the boss's door Monday morning to have a chat. Fully expected that creepy dude was gonna get fired on the spot but no. He apologized so all is right with the world. I hung on for four stressful months, constantly looking over my shoulder expecting him to escalate things. Went through a phase of "oh, I'm just making too much of this" to "WTF". Quit my job overnight after nearly 11 years. No plan, no idea what I was going to do just knew that I couldn't keep going on with all of that day after day.
Took a few weeks off. Camped and went to the Hotel Tacoma event. Came home and had a few days to sit and think, "well, now what?" Then out of the blue I get the job that I have now and I'm back on my feet. Been put in several situations that I'd never imagined I'd have to deal with and didn't think I would survive once I was in the middle of it. But here I am. Don't know what else will be thrown at me but if I've made it this far....

You're tough with a heart of gold. Whatever it is, "you got this!"

I know you're not that kind of creepy. I take pretty much everything with a grain of salt.

That could not have been easy to share, I always knew there was more to you than a few funny emojis

Much respect

Enough time has passed that I'm OK with talking about it all. I've had time to process and accept everything.

We need more like you!

I hope your mom is doing better and hopefully your parents both stay healthy for a long time to come.

That jerk should have been fired on the spot and you should never have been subjected to having to look over your shoulder. Guys like that need to have a various part shoved up another various part.

Like I said earlier, you seem like a strong person. Much respect!
