Bonne annee and welcome to the Janvier 2022 edition of this blog! Click here to continue
It's a new year and I'm already with the blues. It's from physical and mental health. I haven't been to work and not sure when I'll ever return. I've said this before but when I tell you guys this job has taken a toll on not just my health, but my SOUL? I meant that sh*t! I can't even get out of bed anymore. I injured myself at work attempting to pull a heavy palette in the back area.
1/4
1/6 I learned today, that a female family member of mine passed away. She was a couple of years older than me. Died of a heart attack but I told my mom, it was stress that killed her. She looked after her younger siblings all of her life to the point where she put her own life on hold to assist them. This was a role I never wanted to take because people in my family did want me to. Family will stress you to death. They will drain the life out of you just like any regular n*gga would. You see a lot of Black women falling out dead from having to carry on the family because the men aren't doing a damn thing! I hope she's at peace, but don't let her tragedy be yours. Just wished she hadn't touch cigarettes. Another sure ticket to a premature grave.
I don't really have any resolutions, just the same ole stuff from years prior. But if you insist...
- Remember when I said I was going to pretend to be gay? I was still doing that. But I've changed it around to pretending to be married. This has worked out masterfully.👌
- Exercising more is a must! Since I am off from work and might quit, I will try to do it more. It's time for me to get myself in shape. Life is too damn short. When I exercise, it helps me escape from my problems and focus on bettering myself. This is why I am always encouraging healthy eating and exercise.
- As I've mentioned in another blog entry, I've been cashing out on these survey websites. I have been focusing more on the travel stuff. Please visit my 'Make Money Online' page for links to where you can make money online via cash, gift cards for restaurants, travel airline miles and even hotels!
- I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I actually returned that Playstation 4. I just don't have time to commit to video games like I used to. I would love to go back to my video game days but I am afraid, those times are over with. When I was younger, you couldn't pry that controller out of my hand. But now, I just don't have the investment in it anymore. I must admit, looking at those Crash Bandicoot, Mario and Spyro games is tempting but no.
- With my Canon DSLR camera from last year, I am still trying to figure out the 'kinks' to this. It's not like my other DSLR camera, this one is more avante garde. I need to do more research on how to use it.
- Still not interested in making friends. All of these new people in my life are simply there because of our place of employment. Pretty sure I'll never hang out with any of them outside of work, just as I said about that manager.
- As for my hair, I am going to bleach my hair one last time and allow my natural hair color to return. I am thinking about flat ironing my hair, just to see what it looks like. I would never do something permanent like these jack*sses wanting me to 'perm' my hair. Not happening! I do NOT want
permed hair. - Cooking more, is also a must! Just as I've broached earlier, I really want to get more into cooking and baking. Eating out can get annoying, especially since these places are hiring anybody(just like my job!). I do prefer more sumptuous places, but even I want to visit these places sporadically. I enjoy being in the kitchen so expect me to have more photos of the viand I present!
- I forgot to bring up the weather. It has been hot and cold. The weather is as bipolar as the people are down here.
- I am going to attempt to cut back on my clothing shopping. If you guys saw my closet, that's the thing, you can't. Because if you do, a huge pile of clothes will fall right on you! Yes, I have that many clothes! And no matter how much I put up for sell at my online store, it's still full in that b*tch!
- My social media, from what you all can see, is still behind a paywall. I even had to put 'No BM-Black men' to ward off the thirst. I didn't want to do that but I had to.
- Lately, I have been wanting to start on these books I want to publish. Being off has pushed me more into getting started. I have been doing my research as usual. Because when you write a story, you have to do research.
- Family member trying to push me to leave Louisiana. Believe me, I am trying. I refuse to give up.
- I don't think I've mentioned before or not. But I need to eat healthier now. Especially working in a field around a bunch of *ssholes who could care less about your wellbeing.
1/18 Today, had a doctor's appointment. I don't even want to go back but I will tomorrow for the final time. I don't like how this pandemic sh*t got folks acting like *ssholes. I know how I am at work, in regards to the receipts. I just don't like to touch people, PERIOD! If they aren't able to solve my problem, I'll have to go ahead and quit my job and go somewhere else for employment. Like Creole Bella said, I need to be in an affluent, upper middle class environment.
1/22 I've went ahead and closed my Stripe account for good. Those customers who want to use their credit card, will have to find another payment method to do so. And that will require them contacting me. Paypal only for now, and that sucks...
Can you believe the buyer tells me it was a mistake and wants to repay? Chile...
Anyways, you know what's the saddest part? If I finally travel this year, I won't have my Dad with me. I thought about him when I went to the doctor's office when this guy was getting his blood pressure taken. Reminded me of how he used to get his blood pressure taken.
1/24 In my sample box, here's what I got: GOLI ASHWAGANDHA GUMMIES
Wished it was a bigger sample, just two to eat. It looks like something I really need!
This year, I say goodbye to abusers.
