Up Too Early Before The Start Of Another Work Week

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It’s the start of another work week and I am up too early. I’m not sure why I keep waking up so freaking early. I just wish I was not waking up so early as I really value my sleep. I really do not like being a cranky bucket especially for work as I really love my job and what I do for employment.

Since I have not been able to sleep, I have decided to read a wonderful book. The book that I am reading is To Shape A Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. It is the first book in a trilogy in the Nampeshiweisit series. It is a really great book so far and I highly recommend it. I am really enjoying the book.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except that I am now going to be cuddling with my cat, Billie. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Good Afternoon, World!!! I am currently on my lunch break from work. I bought me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and can of Pepsi for my lunch.

Woe Is Me Moment From Work

Posted on by Gertie

Good Afteroon, World!!! I am writing this at work. I’m dealing with some depression symptoms which is causing me some anxiety. I really dislike having depression as well as other mental health diagnoses. I also dislike having other disabilities. I just really wish I knew what it was like to not have a disability even for a millisecond. I don’t know what it like to not have a disability. I just wish I could be normal but then again, if I didn’t have one of my disabilities, I would not have my job as it requires me to have a mental health diagnosis.

Monday Morning Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is Monday morning and I woke up way too early. I have been awake since 4:05 in the morning Seattle time. It is now 5:22 in the morning here in Seattle. My alarm does not go off till 6:00 in the morning Seattle time on Mondays for work related reasons. Anyway, since I’ve been awake for a while, I have been reading and cuddling with my cat, Billie. The book I am reading is To Shape A Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. It is the first book in a trilogy in the Nampeshiweisit series. I am grateful to be able to cuddle with my cat, Billie I read before getting ready for work. Thankfully, I love my job and look forward to going to work most days like today.

Up Too Early; Hope I’m Not A Cranky Bucket At Work

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is 4:40 in the morning here in Seattle and woke up way too early. I’m not one hundred percent sure why I woke up too early, but I have my theories which include a combination of insomnia and PTSD. The thing that sucks is that I do not have to get up till six o’clock in the morning, Seattle time as I work today (Monday). I just wish I did not wake up so early when I did not have to.

Since I have been unable to sleep, I have been reading. The book I am reading is To Shape A Dragon’s Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose. It is an amazing book so far. It is the first book in a three-book series. The third book is not out yet but I am looking forward to it as well as the second book which I also have but haven’t read yet as I am still on the first book. It is part of the Nampeshiweisit series.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie and read before I get ready for work.

Middle of the Night Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning, World!!! It is the middle of the night here in Seattle. I am unable to sleep due to both insomnia and PTSD which sucks shit as I really would like to sleep. Since I am unable to sleep, I decided to pick up a book I bought at Emerald City Comic Con (ECCC). The book is call “To Shape A Dragon’s Breath” by Moniquill Blackgoose. It is the first book in the Nampeshiweisit series. It is about a 15-year-old Indigenous girl who trains a dragon despite what colonizers say or at least that is what the back says as I’m only twenty-eight pages into the book. So far, the book is a good read. I will keep you updated on how the book is as I continue to read through the book.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie and attempt to go to sleep. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!

Monday Morning Before Work Ramblings

Posted on by Gertie

Good Morning and Happy Monday, World!!! It is another Monday morning and the start of another work week for many people across the world. Right now, I am feeling some uncertainty regarding my supervisor having resigned before his leave (FMLA) ended. Thankfully, I work on an awesome team that has been working pretty well together and have been holding each other accountable especially when our supervisor was on leave before resigning. The feeling of uncertainty comes from not knowing what is going to happen next or who going to be the supervisor. I guess I am just worried when we do hire a new supervisor on how the supervisor will be especially when it comes to communication style. For me direct communication is the best way to communicate with me because it leaves no room for misunderstandings.

I am looking forward to work as I really enjoy my job and as much as I am looking forward to work, I am looking forward having time to read. I tend to read on the way to work as well as on the way home from work as I take public transportation to and from work. I also read while I am on lunch. I’m in the middle of reading two really good books that I am enjoy immensely.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie before going to work. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog.

It’s Been A Long Day

Posted on by Gertie

Good Evening, World!!! It has been a long day for various reasons. One of those reasons was due to work as well as some news myself and the team I work on regarding our boss. I love my job most of the time and today was a mixture of loving it and being frustrated but mostly loving it.

The news regarding my supervisor didn’t come of a surprise but was somewhat frustrating for me especially since he is a very sweet guy. My supervisor has been on leave or FMLA for most of the summer like last year. His leave was supposed to end tomorrow (Friday) with him returning this Monday. Apparently, he resigned today via email with his supervisor saying that tomorrow (Friday) will be his last day. My colleagues on my team and I are not surprised by this, but we all wish he would have informed us sooner. I’m truly hoping that he is doing okay as I worked with him at a previous employer. There is a lot of uncertainty on my end regarding who the new boss is going to be and will do my best not to worry about it till there is a new boss.

After work I went to go get my meds. I was going to do it yesterday (Wednesday) but didn’t feel like doing it. Some of my meds help with the symptoms of my mental health diagnosis’s. Taking meds for my mental health is just one part of my mental health recovery.

One of the other things that helps with my mental health recovery is reading. On the way home from work and picking up my meds, I went to a used bookstore and bought me a book. Technically it is three books in one by Orson Scott Card. The books are The Memory of Earth, The Call of Earth and The Ships of Earth. I am looking forward to reading all three books in one book.

I do not have anything else to discuss or share or to write about in this particular blog post except to say it is time to cuddle with my cat, Billie and read. I do want to thank you the reader for reading my blog. It is greatly appreciated from my end of things that you the reader, read my blog. If it was not for you the reader, reading my blog I would not be continuing to write my blog. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my blog. Peace Out, World!!!
