At the end of last year all I had was hope and patience. Through sheer luck and the kindness of complete strangers my living situation has finally stabilized.

The things that happened last year really did a number on me and now it takes time to recover once again. Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever have a society where it is ok to be human.

Luckily I don't drink or anything like that but it's seemingly near impossible to get my arse into first gear to take care of the few responsibilities that I have.

Fortunately I've learned to take care of the basics like eating healthy, sleeping well, making friends, and knowing that through it all, even on the worst of days, that things will eventually improve. That it's all worth it.

I just hope my client can find that final bit of patience, as I honestly don't know what to tell them any more. I feel terrible about it, but also I want and need to work and so they're kinda stuck with this situation too. All I can hope for is that when things start moving again that I can work multiple days per week. That would solve the issues for everyone involved.
