Shit Storm of Change

You know how sometimes there’s points in life where everyone around you goes through stuff at the same time?  That’s how the last week or two has been for me.  It’s as if everything in my world has been thrown upside down and shaken around.

2 friends of mine lost their jobs last week.  A friend was told the house she lives in is up for sale, and now she’s moving this week to a new home.  The local dyke club changed management.  Starting Wednesday night I’m working the graveyard shift at my mom’s work, putting icing on cupcakes until 7:30am.

There’s been even more shit too, but it never sticks with me.  I’m so absorbed in trying to hold my ground and stay focused these days.  Between all that and worries about friends potentially being abused or addicted to hard drugs, it’s been a bit stressful.

I’ve also been feeling the need to throw myself into my work, but the work I want to throw myself into doesn’t pay the bills.  I’m doing what I can to make rent.
