I finally have this week off from work, then will be working all of December, except for 2 Stat days. Sleep hasn't been the best, getting 4-6hrs of sleep per night. Luckily with no work, I'm able to take a nap late afternoon before dinner.
I saw a specialist yesterday, luckily it was nothing serious and can be solved, I just don't really have the $ for it, a very expensive prescription is needed. So, I'm thinking of getting it in January, after I've worked the full month of December. There was a raise in my work union, so should have that extra money after working the whole month. The other downside is, I won't have work from January to March, with only a week in April and a week in May. Sigh.. me and this unstable work status, only shifts available is to cover colleagues on vacation, or if someone calls in sick. But I'm not always available to work those sick calls, depends if I had made previous plans already or not.
My mum's birthday is coming up. We were going to have the usual, going to a Japanese Restaurant, but mum requested for Korean BBQ. I asked her again this morning, and she said it may be snowing. It started snowing here yesterday afternoon, and snow is in the forecast for the next 14 days too. It's on the coming Sunday, so, I guess she won't be able to decide until at least Saturday. Luckily, that restaurant, although it's small, I don't think reservations are needed, every time I went with a friend, even when we've made reservations for dinner, there's always lots of tables still available.
I was out the day before too, an appointment to renew my driver's license. Then, did some grocery shopping then went to the mall to buy birthday cards. Since, Covid, I haven't gone to the mall much. Only when I need something, and it's always an in-and-out purchase. Because of this it's birthday card(s), as I bought enough for next year too. I only couldn't choose one for parents' anniversary, might have to go out for a purchase when the time comes.
I'd like to say more, but I'll leave it for my own post~

It sounds like December will be a busy one. Take it a step at a time. It is good that you will get to go out for your mom's birthday and you got to go to the mall. Any time that you get out is good. @Jaeteuk
Someone I know who lives near the East Coast asked me last night what my work schedule for December is. He said he's thinking about visiting here, but not confirmed yet. Not sure if I should be looking forward to it or not. We actually tried going out a few times, several years ago when he came here for vacation. But it didn't really work out, he had expectations for me. Telling me what he'd like to see me wearing (clothes-wise) when we go out. It would also be difficult to keep a long-distance relationship. I'll just focus on my work this month instead. Better not to keep any hopes, it won't work out anyways. But it'd still be nice to meet with him.

If you do get a chance to meet with him, it would be nice. He might have changed but going in with no expectations is a great idea. @Jaeteuk
I love the statement "Does everyone hate me or am I just dehydrated." I am going to have to practice that one myself. I am glad that you were able to get some great gems. Feeling okay is good enough. You should be proud of yourself. @BrokeasaurusRex
1) feeling bad today but not the worst so that’s good!
2) I slept for 11 hours today. Did not drink enough but it’s okay
3) it’s been 2 days into the month, so nothing really bad has happened. Or does my brain being mean to me count?
4)I’m not sure. I just spoke in the sharing group but it didn’t really do much for me, and the listener I spoke to also just said ‘idk how to help you’ so oh well haha
It is great that you recognize that bad can be a victory when you imagine things as there being a worst. It sounds like you are working to be the best that you can and that is enough. @ohhappyday
