Worst november ever.

Normally I look forward to November.  There's nanowrimo.  There's thanksgiving.  There's... well that's about it, but it's rarely a bad month for me.  This month though...

So I am working at an Amazon FC center.  The work is brain dead.  I take things and put them into boxes.  If I do that 160 times a minute, I am doing my job.  The job has improved a little.  I can listen to music with the right headphones, and they now do a thing where if I clear out my wall I can sit on my butt for 10 minutes.  I live for those moments.

But then I got sick.  Not covid.  This was crud a coworker gave me because she didn't notify me she was sick till after lunch.  'Yeah, I thought I was sick but...'  Uuuuugh...  Actually she's the only person that talks to me so, yeah, I can't be too mad.  Oh, shout out to Jeremy, a coworker that's been a patreon since I left. Very cool dude.  He actually stopped by and said hi.

Anyway, sick.  Saw doctor.  'Oh, that's no big deal.  Fluids and you'll be fine.'  Well now it's in my chest and I'm coughing crap and can't breathe.  I couldn't even get in to urgent care.  They kicked me out because 'we've reached our limit today'.  Not a good moment, gotta say.  But I got a follow up appointment today so cross fingers.

Then the bills came due.  600 for car insurance.  200 for renter's insurance.  Power bill.  And now, today, a 500 vet bill for panda.  She's doing okay.  The vet's amazed she's doing as well as she is.

Finally rent came out and I was left with less than 100 dollars.  But I had cleared November.

Thanks all of you.  It would literally not have been possible.  I hope December will be better.  I'll be working mandatory 50 hour weeks, maybe 60 hour weeks, till Christmas.  If my body doesn't break first.  But at the end of it I should be in a better position.  Thanks so very much for everyone.  I feel really ashamed at my lack of productivity writing wise, but right now I'm just trying to get survival done.  Thanks you so much for sticking with me.  It is unbelievably welcome right now, you have no idea.

Hope to post more this month.  Cross fingers that things stabilize and improve soon.
