OOOOOKKKKKAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!
Hello! Welcome to my hot mess. I know, I know. Very unprofessional. But with how completely and utterly crappy 2025 was, I think I deserve a break and reasonable pass when making this blog post. But, as some of you know, I have been in a very rough spot/patch for a while now and I'll explain it all here in just a second.
Long story short, I witnessed my brother's death in January 2022. My mom then went to the hospital and got diagnosed with afib (irregular heartbeat) in July 2022 and had to go to a nursing home for what was SUPPOSED to be just three months only for them to abuse the system and keep her until June 2023 where I became her Medical POA and Rep Payee for SSI. We got evicted from the apartment we lived in for 15 years in March 2023 due to the landlords breaking their end of the deal, so my mom and I moved in with a friend and her boyfriend. Then my mom died in August 2025 and I witnessed that. And it wasn't until the end of October 2025 that I realised just how abusive the friend and her boyfriend are to quite literally everyone. So I moved out at the beginning of November 2025 in with my cousin just a couple of towns over until I can get a place of my own.
Well, unfortunately, that hasn't exactly been going as planned because I can't get a job in retail or any chain store due to my physical and mental disabilities. And my dumbass thought I'd be able to get everything straightened out by the end of January 2026. On the bright side, I finally got around to applying for a Case Manager to help me with ... well ... quite literally everything because my disabled ass doesn't know how to do jack diddly squat when it comes to that stuff. So any and all help is greatly appreciated. I also got around to re-applying for Disability back in September 2025, so there's that.
So, in other words, life has been a bitch since 2022 and it has only gotten worse since then. I want to be optimistic about 2026, but it's kinda sorta hard to be considering the sheer amount of trauma I have been through within the past three years alone. But at least I have my cats who love and cherish me.
