Hey there everyone! I'm starting back up the weekly check-in threads. I'll probably be trying to do it on Sundays, but if something occasionally comes up I may move it to Mondays.

So tell us how you're doing! Anything new and exciting? Need to vent? Need advice? Etc. Please share! <3

I'll start. I'm absolutely exhausted today. This last week has been the first time in over a year, since my first run in with my scoliosis and degenerative joint disease of the spine causing disabling symptoms, that I have worked 6 days in a row. (Normally it'll be 5 days except in the case of volunteered or occasionally mandatory overtime.) They really tried to cram in a lot of training in that time frame, since I need it to be able to work on the floor in the group home I'll be working in, and they're having me start as full time staff on Tuesday. I have mixed feelings about it with the pandemic and all, but it seems like this job will be a really good fit for me overall. <3 I've started to get to know the residents the last few days, and I'm super excited to be working with them all.
