Today I had a met with one of the managers at the company that called me back on Wednesday after I had applied on Tuesday. 

It went really well. Although, I accidently scared him when I first got there. I spoke up and he didn't know I was there. I really need to work on walking more loudly, because this is becoming a big problem with how many times I have scared people. 

Even though I went in today, I set up a formal interview for Monday with the assistant manager. So, that's good. 

This manager position that I'm applying for is going to be full-time and a lot of work, it sounds like I'm a good fit so far. 

So, that's the update on that. I also wanted to write about a few more things that have happened/are happening. 

First, I'm writing again. I am currently working on The Personal Secret. It's going pretty well. Better than it's been in the last four years since I've been writing it. 

Second, I found another anime that I absolutely love.  I have some problems with a few things, but for the most part, it's a favorite. I'm actually watching it for the second time right now. I even started reading the manga. It's called Kuroko's Basketball. It's good. 

Third, I made goals for 2022. I normally don't do official goals or resolutions, but I needed to sit down and figure out what to do from this point on. 

This is what I have so far: 

-Start working again.

-Start paying for my phone bill and car insurance independently (since I'm still with my parents I don't pay for my phone, car insurance, or food. I do chores to "pay" them instead of rent. I also paid for my college classes with my own money, so no student debt and my parents didn't pay for me.).

-I want to get a tattoo.

-Publish The Personal Secret.

-And no contacting toxic people that used to be in my life. 

For that last one, I've spent the last week going through my stuff and really reflecting on what I want in my life. At first, it was about material things, but then I thought of some people who were hurting me. Some of them I had in my life to hurt myself with at times, so I am making it my goal to not let those people back in my life by not contacting them. 

Thinking about it more, I feel like I broke down some walls and I'm doing so much better. Today was difficult a few times, but I feel better. 

Four, my brother and sister-in-law came over and we decorated cookies. It was fun. We also watched Encanto. 

It's been great having Grandma here. I know I said it before. I just didn't realize how much I like having her here until now. 

Five, I came to the realization that one of my exes had two girlfriends in the past year. I'm not saying to be negative or something like that. I am merely stating it as an observation. It was both our decision to stay friends. However, it also made me realize that there isn't something wrong with me, there was something wrong with them. Yeah, I'm not perfect either. I went back to one of my exes way too many times because it was familiar. Never again. Truly. 

This is the year where I keep my exes in the past. 

I even deleted the Facebook message from one of my exes' birth mother. I am not getting in contact with him. Maybe in a year or more when I'm in a better place. 

I'm done hurting myself. I can't keep doing this to myself. I'm going to start working and focus on me and my future. If I meet someone, cool. Now I know what not to do and I have the resolve to not get myself into trouble anymore. I'm done with drama. 

That's my job update and more. I have to finish this and clean Trixie's litter box. Then I could read more Noragami, write, continue watching Kuroko's Basketball, or play Minecraft on my switch. I might get ready for bed and chill in bed while watching Kuroko's Basketball while playing Minecraft. 

Tempting. 

That's been my nightly routine now. Plus, writing when I can/have motivation to (which my motivation and ideas have been coming easier now, and it's great!). 

Anyway, I hope everyone's 2022 has been going well so far!

Until next time, 

Later!
