Firing, broken feet, and writing

So. Let's do a little update.

Four-five months ago, I took a step and my heel started hurting. Didn't think anything of it, but it kept getting worse. Sam, finally, convinced me to go to the podiatrist. Yep, heel spurs. Sure did break one. So, now I'm in this lovely boot:



Now, before this appointment to get a lovely boot, I had the dentist. Two docs in one day, took the afternoon off work, no big deal. I put it on my boss's calendar. He "doesn't read" the calendar - even though I put it on his Outlook so he'd get emails about it. So, before I left, I sent him an email stating when my upcoming appointments were and what time I'd be taking off.

Except...

He sent me an email during my podiatrist appointment stating that he was "moving in another direction" and I no longer had a job. So, I'm now unemployed, and without a paycheck. I filed for unemployment, but that takes forever.

Also had an interview at the courthouse on Friday, and they'll let me know how that goes by late next week.

Unfortunately, what this means is that my writing has suffered because I have no "Set time" to write, and my brain needs that, so that I can be creative on a schedule or something. So, I'm also not writing.

Which really sucks.

I want to write, but like... nothing sticks out to me to write. So, instead, I tool around the internets, and do nothing. I have been RPing, but.... that's a separate thing.

Wow. I'm sorry all that happened to you, Cat. It really sucks. But hopefully things will start looking up! (This is me trying to force myself to be more positive about stuff, is it working? lol.) At least you got your lovely boot to fix your foot, right?

Oh good. It feels very forced but as long as it's working! lol I can imagine you'd hate the boot. How long do you have to wear it for?

What??? What a jerk! I really hope the courthouse gig works out for you!

And I'm sorry about your foot! How long are you in the boot?

I'm so sorry.

Does your foot feel any better?
