If you don't want to read something that is not very uplifting, then you probably will want to sit this one out. This is one of those gloomy blog entries that I sometimes do, you know, trying to make sense of things.

Happy New Year to you, your family, and your friends.
Here's hoping that 2025 doesn't suck for anybody in that list.
It's back to work for me this weekend, so my time off was good enough, I guess. I didn't do anything special on NYE. In fact, I ended up by myself that night because my partner wanted to see fireworks. I generally hate people outside work, so I just let him go. It also sends him away because, this isn't a lie, 90% of our conversations involve complaining, whining, or something like that. It was a nice break, I have to say.
Anyway, I hope it's all going well for you! :) Until next time, folks!

Christmas has already happened, so I hope your Christmas was happy, jolly and full of excitement. I worked all through Christmas, so the pay is nice. My partner spent most of his time with his family, which is fine. We attempted to do some shopping the day after, but his brother had other plans for him--ones that I dare not interfere with. So besides my time at work overnight, it's been a bit of a quiet one. That's fine. It's still really difficult for me to feel any Christmas spirit when it's not cold.
I'm not working New Year's Eve or New Year's Day and I'm not sure what the plan is. I'm contemplating showing up at the liquor store early this morning to pick up a few mixed drinks, but then again, alcohol is a big money drain here in Australia. It's certainly not something I need to enjoy the night.
Plans are also in full-swing to go back home (to the USA, for those who are unaware) in April and May. Slowly getting that together.
Now that I've bored you enough, I'm outta here. I've just been busy lately and taking a bit of time off right now before I through myself head-first into my career again.
Bye for now, everyone.

Hello! This is going to be a very short one today since I'm working this weekend. I am suffering from stomach issues this weekend too but I need the money. Lots of visits to the toilet, but it's not uncontrollable. Since my childhood, I've always had a lot of health issues with my stomach so a lot of problems, I don't even acknowledge as problems anymore. I just get used to it. They're kind of irritating today, but I figure I can do a shift today since the money I make makess it worth it.
As I said, this isn't a long one. I will be back soon! I will be fine, just feel a bit 🤢

There isn't much to say this weekend and I think that is okay. Over the past week, I didn't do much except sit around waiting for repairs to be done to the house, since my husband seems to think that I like to sit at home waiting on my days off. I'm still bitter about that, by the way...
This week is going to be a busy week for me and I am dreading it, but I have to earn money to do things like eat and pay for my car.
I'm still thinking how I would have loved to be in the USA with my family right now which was the original plan. Things didn't work out and now I am stressing over my planned trip this coming April-May. I really want to avoid a summertime trip over there. It's way too hot over there... humid too.
I'm stressed about that because I need to renew both my passports, pay for a ticket and my mom's ticket, and take time off from work. My only solution is to work more right now so I can go. We will see though.
Oh and my birthday was last weekend--but I'm not sure if I posted anything about that. It was quiet. I already feel old.
That's all for now. I hope the start of the month has been great.
