I feel so good, y'all. I'm so glad you're here.
In the last week a flurry of loooooonnnng-looming threads finally resolved in concert with each other. It was a bit of an adventure chasing down a UPS package sent to my old apartment, but my divorce is all finalized and financially settled as of this last week. All that is now behind me, and I feel like so much weight has been lifted off my shoulders and back. Time and opportunity are allowing to heal some of the friendships I feared lost along the way. Having any kind of nest-egg in my command provides me with some peace again.
I also finally had my first session with the American Jobs Center, and thankfully having done a lot of due diligence months ago, I don't have to spend time now figuring out what should be my next move. I get to fill out the forms, check off the boxes and, looking like by September, start barber college. Having solid and discernible next steps and a timetable towards a "next" set of things to be doing... that change feels amazing.
More fun to come. I just wanted to catch-up on the big news so that I can on track with more targeted writing. I've internet-researched a honeypot scam I stumbled into last week involving paid/metered parking on the street around Millennium Park. The pettiness of the grift is what makes me wanna write about it because it's just so annoying and insulting.
In a way, it's kinda nice to get angry about small things again because gee-howdy the national news is pure rage-bait.
