I've decided that the entire decade can just be done now.

Last year we got hit with Snowmageddon that saw St. John's shut down for a week. And once we got dug out of that we got hit with news of this horrible virus...

COVID-19. Hello, world-wide epidemic! Ugh. Shut downs. Restrictions galore. Where's the money going to come from when we can't work? And so much more.

On top of it all, my best friend gets diagnosed with cancer for the second time. They thought they got it all the first time, but no PET scan was done to confirm. And right before her first wedding anniversary she discovers another spot.

Then my favourite aunt died, and due to pandemic restrictions I couldn't even fly to see her before she passed away. And my mother's narcissism reared its ugly head yet again in the midst of all this because how dare she be the last one to find out that her sister is dying...she should have been first, even before my aunt's husband ffs!

We managed to get through Christmas and New Years okay. Restrictions were still in place but not as harsh as they were at first. Our province had very few positive cases, and people stupidly figured it meant we were scot-free and could go back to the way things were before the pandemic.

This year, we didn't get hit with a repeat of Snowmageddon, although I know that's not far from people's minds whenever we get a snow storm warning. The snow has still been gross, but I'm glad I no longer work at a grocery store because with the pandemic being what it is, I would end up having to quit due to all my health issues.

Last week, one of my best friend's good friends lost his house and three dogs in a fire that burnt everything to the ground. Absolutely devastated the guy, and nobody knows how the fire started. My friend was actually there when one of her friend's dogs was born, and it hit her hard to know that precious life was now gone.

And today my best friend had to get a scan done of a spot on her arm that she was worried about. The radiologist didn't tell her what they suspected, but being told that they didn't need to do a biopsy and were sending the results to her doctor right away said a lot. And then, just a little bit after 5pm today her doctor called and confirmed that it is indeed cancer again. Even though my best friend is going through treatment from the second surgery. It's not looking good.

If the rest of this decade continues like this, fuck.

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
