It's alright. Started therapy yesterday and was almost late for my first appointment because of baby. But the therapist was nice, hopefully she'll be able to help me in the long term :)

My job let me go yesterday so thats fun. Gotta figure out next steps today

Well, 2 months and no job, but ik it's rookie numbers. I know someone who got a job in 4 years. He's doing well now but sheesh.

I've started working on my own designs again. Polishing my portfolio while figuring out how to reach out to folks for pro bono work haha. Unsure of what to show them. And I applied to Starbucks.

Other than that, reconnected with my cousins and cleared up silly family drama. Even though the economy is awful, it's good to know there's still family.

Joined a tiny tiny company for 10 hours a week doing coffee education and quality assurance. It's a nice bonus but still struggling to find next steps. Haven't written much with the switch to a summer schedule (kid's schedule is whacky, nursing strike in BC) so juggling alot.

Weird week again. Wrote both for my substack and submitted an essay to a local contest. Got invited to join a grant application. Why not, its about wildfires and is community focused - not academic.

Roasted coffee. Enjoyed it.

All in all, not a shabby end the grind of the week days.

Cooking dinner after completing a 100 mile bike ride. Almost perfect weather for it today, but I did not condition myself well enough for it. The last 20 miles or so were rough.

Good, been a good few weeks after my holiday, and am planning the next for Sept. A friend is having a rough time, so I am taking her too - Greece, beach, parties and diving. Gonna be fun
