CrashtestDawnie's Journal, 03 Sep 22

Well, I wanted to try to get to 185 by my birthday on the 11th but I don’t think I will get there. That’s okay. I am well on my way to my goal weight.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I am updating my resume.
I’ve been very depressed where I’m at and I am doubting my decision to move here. I didn’t know my parents were going to allow my very dysfunctional, toxic sister to move into the house with me until after I was already here.
I have been dealing with a lot of chaos and mess. I am too sensitive and emotional of a person to live in this kind of environment. I quit my good paying job, moved 800 miles away from all my friends to have peace and stability. Well, I got the exact opposite.
I’ve been really praying asking God to tell me what he wants me do. I started looking for apartments basically ANYWhere. And last night, I received an email from a woman that works for the city. She saw my old resume from last year on Careerbuilder and invited me to apply for a position in her office. It’s a slight pay raise, excellent hours and not even a quarter mile from my house. So I am going to apply. I guess I am not suppose to leave. I actually like my current remote job. But the pay is low and the stress is high. I have been promoted 2x but they don’t give raises.

Oh Dawnie, I am sorry to hear about the stress. Stress is so damaging to us in so many aspects. Sweetie, you are an intelligent, caring woman and you know what's good and right for you and your children. You have the answers within and as long as you are honoring yourself, you can't go wrong. Sending prayers that you pull up the wisdom and peace God has granted you. 🙏 ❤️👍💪

Dawnie, two promotions without raises is called exploiting the current employee. chase the new job, save your money and get the heck out of there when you can.

See God is already at work! Who gets a call from someone who saw your old resume? It's a positive start and I'm sorry you have had such a rough time. I will pray for a more peaceful time for you.💜🙏

Good for you following your gut and intuition

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. My current job, seriously takes advantage. That is for sure. They can do that because a lot of people want remote jobs. They know that we will put up with it for the convenience. And they are right. As much as I miss moving during the day, it is awesome not leaving my home lol Being home when my kids get home has been such a blessing. Cool thing about this new job is I’ll be getting off only 15 min after my kids get home and I’m only a 3 minute walk to the house :)

You can do it! But how about I make you a deal, I’ll lose down to 230 if you get to 190 by your appointed time? I know you can do it, and Happy Birthday early!! 🎈🎉🎈🎉

It'll take a minute to adjust to new coworkers and get your feet wet, but it sounds like there is nothing about this job that isn't positive on the surface. But, even if it turns out to not be the dream you're expecting, you're still leagues ahead of where you are now emotionally and appreciat-tionally (?) 🤘

I am so sorry to hear of the stress you are feeling. I would try to make deliberate, strategic moves. Snap decisions are usually based on emotion. That is not to say you shouldn't follow your heart (definitely follow your heart!), but do so with a clear head. You know what you need to be happy. You and only you.

Stressful environments hurt my diet more than anything else. I just haven't learned how to deal with it. I hope your prayers are answered soon and this new job is a perfect fit!

Wishing you the best, Families are great but what a pain. Jobs are rough some are what you make of it, some just stink and a dead-end
