It’s hard…

It’s hard going to work and feeling not good enough. Where your ideas and input aren’t valued. Where you’re not paid what you feel you’re worth.

It’s hard coming home after work and feeling not good enough. Where you are too tired to keep up with the demands of parenting or when your partner constantly challenges your input.

It’s hard going through life not feeling good enough. Wondering if they will be happier when you are gone.

There was like no traffic today on my commute. Now I’m 25mins early for work. What the heck.

So now I’m sitting in the parking lot because I don’t want to look too eager to work if I walk in early šŸ™ƒ

9pm: Sleep
12am: Awake
3am: Awake
6am: Awake (Alarm)

I keep waking up (wide awake) every 3hrs.

I even stopped eating at 7pm.

I can’t get a night of uninterrupted sleep.

What’s wrong with meeeee?

ā€œGreat Canadian Meatā€ is actually what the girls at the Immigration Office call me šŸ˜…šŸ˜Ž

I have developed a habit of buying different sticks of meat from gas stations / dollar stores / convenience stores.

It’s always ā€˜just in case I get hungry later’ but it’s usually a mistake as they just make my stomach gurgle.

Oh sketchy meat stick. A toxic relationship filled with pain and regret.

Widespread internet outage in the GTA this morning had our office team pick up mops, brooms and dusters because like many, all our office procedures require WiFi to function.

At least our floors are now spotless?

Maybe add that to the 'Skills' section of my resume...

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My kid’s bedtime is 8:30pm but it’s still too bright outside to play with sparklers.

Guess we’re staying up til 10 tonight 😩

Sometimes I feed my kid snacks just so she stops bothering me and gives me a few mins of peace.

I hope she doesn’t bring this up in therapy 20yrs from now šŸ˜Ž
