Hey everyone (Like all 5 of you?),
I just wanted to post a life update because my life has been going through a lot and I think the last time I wrote a post was from January this year... Hehe...
Back in January I was on the job hunt (didn't really score anything until March). At the time I was working at a job I hated which was a local hardware store where I was literally just showing up to get paid, because no one shopped at a locally owned place and would much rather shop at a big box store.
February-ish thru March:
So, I decided to job hunt and found work at a local Walgreen's. I was hired the day of my interview and within a span of two weeks I started; within the couple months I started there, I was promoted, then just this last month I was promoted again.
I was promoted into a Pharmacy Technician job, and let me just tell you it has been a nonstop journey since.
I have had to work ten to twelve hour days five days a week for the last month, and I still have to take my Pharmacy Tech boards in September ( Which is just a 90 question test that certifies you as a Pharmacy Tech for two years, and has to be renewed every two years after that).
So that was like the whole gist of MARCH.
I moved from my old apartment where I was working a dead end job into a place closer to my new one during that transition and then basically lived there until the end of June.
End of June: I moved again (because the landlord was a bum: leaking ceiling, plumbing problems, etc.), then my boyfriend Adam and I decided enough was enough we were going to start clearing a spot of land in hopes of building a house and never having to pay rent again.
July: We have finished clearing the lot and are temporarily living at his mom's house which is two houses up from where we are building a house. If all pans out it will be around October when I am officially living in my own place RENT FREE.
To summarize: I moved twice this year, found a new job have rapidly been moving up and into good things there, and am buiding a house.
I am beyond tired.
Art is still a thing for me, it always will be; only because drugs and alcohol are not a part of my life and aren't used as an outlet of release for when I am beyond stressed after working a twelve hour day.
Maybe one day I won't have to punch a clock and can just live worry free making paintings and art and surviving on that.
A girl can dream right?
Hoping everyone is doing well,
Jennelle
