Well... honestly I've been working the same job for a while, since April of last year. Still part-time, though, so no insurance (weep for America again, you Frenchie). My sister hasn't been active in this forum for a VERY long time now, but currently, she's also working a full-time job. The post office. Well, it's her second job because her first job is stinky. I don't have as much anxiety at this job as I used to.

My sister and I officially hate dogs as I gotten myself bitten by one, badly may I add. Bled, puncture wounds. Got admitted to an emergency care place. Prior to this, I had to take care of him; they're my boss's dog and we gotten acquainted for a bit for several months. I walked him, and when that was done, I tried to feed him and that's when I got bitten on the forearm. Very unexpected. I forgave him the first time, my bosses profusely apologized and compensated. Then I took care of him again the second time, believing it won't happen again. Dog bit me AGAIN on the hand, WHILE FEEDING. AGAIN. But no puncture, just a bruise. And then there's that, no more taking care of him but I don't trust him again and I don't think I can trust dogs ever again really. When people say their dogs don't bite, that's bullshit.

My sister is a post office worker so hating dogs is a given. Didn't help that she got nearly attacked by one.

You can't trust stranger's dogs. They MIGHT seem friendly but they're apparently unpredictable and it feels like one wrong move leads to a bite. I don't have the heart to like yell at a dog or make nasty faces to it (might hit them if they're being nasty to me though), and I do pet them if they're nice enough but I do always keep my distance and won't spend too much time with them.

I mean I'm NOT at my family right now so that's good. I'm yearning to be back for my sister, though, as it's been now two years I'm without her. It's not easy.

Eh can you make rent? I'm in Bay Area, the place known for exorbitant rent prices. One bedroom apartment is like at LEAST 2500 American bucks per month which is like 2355.67 euro or something. And no healthcare! I'm one bad car accident away from being bankrupt, isn't that a pleasant thought. I also haven't visited the doctor in a while because the price per visit is probably a couple hundred bucks without insurance (and even with insurance there's "copays" or whatever).

At least you have a good job. And good that you're not working for Ubisoft or some shit. Ubisoft has a rancid workplace. And I'm glad you're paid well, hope you're not living like paycheck to paycheck. I'm NOT living paycheck to paycheck myself, saving like a thousand per month or so, since my bf pays most of the rent, so it's decent for me too.

Oof depression, please find a medication for you. Hopefully you get help from a psychiatrist, don't want you trying out those weirdo herb shit and stuff, that'll just cost money... as for a healthier diet, well, try not eating giant gummy bears ;P

Yeah apartment finding doesn't seem really fun. I don't know WHERE to go in this blasted region. Yours sound super cheap and actually livable.

Yeah for Ubisoft, this is why I don't buy their games. Even Mario + Rabbids my interest fell off because Ubisoft as a brand name soured my palette SO much I lost a lot appetite. Mario still looks sweet while dual-wielding but the game? Mmmmmmm....

Work with what the doctor prescribed but yeah if that mushroom does help you I guess I won't push you too much. I'm just a little leery of herb stuff unless the doctor explicitly told me to roll with them.

Oh idk I'm going to visit my mom and dad and sister and maybe my brother will be there. I'll also see my irl friends and I'll get to see my cockatiel again (I miss my sister and my bird the most). Hope we get to eat something nice but I don't want anything TOO fancy, just want to spend time in what I feel is starting to become some memory and a video on a phone rather than a tangible entity, and that's making me feel sad. Aside from my boyfriend, I do feel lonely here. No friends no one to share my memories with except my sister who isn't even here. I have to stick to online to keep my sanity. It's not the worst arrangement, but...

TIS THE SEASON FOR FLIGHT DELAYS AND CANCELLATION

Indeed but California this time has been like mid 20s / 70s ish weather and sunny and partly cloudy. I can't fly within california! And if it weren't for COVID I would've driven the 6 hours down myself! Argh.

wats flatsharing

Potholes! I hit one in the freeway and got a flat tire. Wasn't my car, was the car I was using to deliver for my work, so at least I didn't need to pay anything. Still wasn't fun waiting on a shoulder of a freeway and it's raining outside.

That's what the car said when it blew a tire! Don't worry, the thing got towed and I got crows to look at for a bit.

crows aren't creepy, they're just cute.

I'm turning 28! Wheeee
