Today’s word, shockingly another “A” word. Abash which in the tiny dictionary is defined as “to confuse”. It is a verb but can also mean “to embarass or feel ashamed”. Right now I’m trying to remember the last time I truly felt embarassed. I could fall to the default of “when I lost my job” but I…

Abase-ically a New Word
Today’s word was abase, which was another that I had never heard of. It means “to humble” according to my tiny dictionary. This word came on the scene in the 14th century but has changed meanings over the years. Originally meaning something along the lines of “to lower yourself physically” to the more modern definition of lowering…
New Idea Alert!
Hi all, So I’ve been taking some time during this period of unemployment to clean out my house and go through some career counselling. I’d rather take my time and intentionally end up in a field, and role, that I love. But in this clean out, I’ve been going through some of the items I’ve…
Day Two of Freedom or… Being Unemployed
You know, by and large, this whole unemployment thing isn’t too bad for now. Sure I’m low key nervous about how long my savings will last. But hey! At least I have savings right? My best friend helped me sort out my EI yesterday (She used to work there so she knows how to actually…
A Glass Case of Emotions?
I was fired today.. So that’s definitely something. I’ve never been fired before, but I guess there’s a first time for everything. Technically I’m not allowed to talk about it. So that’s where that story ends legally. But me, being me. Couldn’t be normal about it whatsoever. I kept my composure the entire time, and…
Week One of “Back to the Trenches”
You know, having over a week off really nails down how much you’re not in love with your job or your commute. Being sick for well over a week also grants you the opportunity to think about what things you really enjoy spending your time doing. What activities make you feel productive? What activities make…
Day Billion of Being Sick
That feeling when you’re no longer feeling sick, but can’t go back in to work until you can see your doctor and they clear you for being around people. I have never been more ready to go back to work. Staying home might be the worst thing. I’m at the point of trying to find…
Day 5, I’m Starting to be Human Again
I am less itchy. I slept last night and I didn’t need to get hopped up on Nyquil to do it! I’m still covered in the lesions but new ones have stopped appearing and my throat seems to have cleared up, I even ate toast without pain. As my first act as a slightly less…
Day 4 of the Viral Plague
I am finally at a tolerable level of itchiness. Id like to personally thank Aveeno for making so many types of anti-itch products for me to sample in my unwanted time off. My skin products collection has now doubled in size with Aveeno fighting with K-Beauty for the top spot. Plus side, I’ve started to…
Into Day 3 of the Sickness
Day 3 of Foot and Mouth disease. My work told me I didn’t have to work from home, to just take my time and rest up, so that’s been kind of nice. Though I’d almost relish the distraction from the pain and the itching. It hurts to walk, it hurts to talk, I have lesions…
