Here we are, turning the page on the calendar to March, which means I have just completed my first solid month of work. I submitted my "invoice" (their version of a time card) this evening, for a total of 90 hours.
Which probably doesn't sound like much to the 40-hours-per crowd, but it's been an uphill battle for me, it having been such a very long time since I've had this much structure in my life. The first couple weeks, by the time Friday rolled around, I felt like I'd been hit by a truck---but it's getting better.
At some point in the next 30 days, I'll have a paycheck; Pay ALL the bills! will be my battle cry. No more of those humiliating end-of-the-month phone calls begging for help with insurance or utilities. Oh, how I want to be caught up and PAID AHEAD. I can't even....
Supposedly, we're going to have a cold snap this weekend, so I skipped most of Person of Interest (a rerun) and took a shower and washed my hair. Hair is at the in-between growing out stage of hanging in my eyes but not long enough to tuck behind an ear...I twist the too-long bangs around and clip them back. Not flattering, but priority-wise, a fresh haircut comes after paying bills, somewhere between car repair and getting the lawn mowed. May, maybe? In time for summer, that's for sure.
Right now, my head is in a better state than it's been since, oh, last July, at least. I'm not under that looming cloud of I'M FUCKED---which was my frame of mind, growing ever more trapped and doomed as the months went on. .thanks, y'all, for putting up with my crazy, and all your encouragement and support. I WOULD NOT have made it through without you. Really.
TT---FN.
