Still on the road to recovery
9 months ago
General
Just an update for everyone. You may have seen I have opened a YCH...honestly I need to make some more money - things are so tough I had for a while even considered setting up a GoFundMe...
I am still trying to recover from injuries I received in the car accident on June 7th, still in some pain which is at times pretty bad but I just have to work through it at this point. On some new medications I don't like...
My car was totaled by the insurance company, and while they took responsibility and admitted the other driver was at 100% fault, they only gave me just enough for it to cover the down payment on one of the cheapest used 2011 cars I could find, so I have to figure out how to make up the rest of the money because I can't afford monthly payments right now.
My streaming and gaming PC fried trying to play Jurassic World Evolution 2...the first time I had sat down to relax with a game in a couple months. I now need a new motherboard and CPU that will be compatible with the RAM and GPU I added. Probably should upgrade my heatsink and power supply as well to prevent another burnout...but until I get all of that, I can't stream for a while although I can just barely manage some smaller commissions with my personal office laptop...
I'm still coming to terms with not having Don to greet every day. Its been over a week since he died and I'm still going to his cage some days to talk to him only to be reminded by the sheet I put in front of the cage...
Working extra days at my retail job to try to make more money, garden is a jungle I have lost control of, need a few house repairs, took over several hundred more dollars in bills and regular expenses starting this month...and I am doubting I will be able to afford even a staycation this summer...again.
BUT
With all that said, I am trying to remain resilient. I've turned back to the faith I had been neglecting and that has helped me remain positive and not completely lose it mentally this past month. I just need to keep moving forward and let that faith grow in me more and I will get through!
