What made you feel better today?

[VioletButterfly]

Coming out here, tuning into fall scenery videos on Youtube, listening to music from my younger days, and watching funny dog/horse videos on Pinterest.

Friends here and in real life. My aunt. Uncle. Kids. And food.

Filling a notebook with info on somebody of whom consists my special interest, my hand is feeling sad but the feeling of accomplishment is existent nonetheless

Playing frisbee with some students in the warm sunshine. I’m glad I did it.

Clean clothes, not-horrible food and the fact that the girl in the shop continues to giggle and go pink whenever I come in.

Researching and brainstorming potential goals/projects to develop a more concrete vision of a better future

I was approached by a recruiter via LinkedIn who is looking for a first aid instructor.
I am not qualified as an instructor, but I've been a first responder if various sorts for 20 years before I came here, which I assume is why they contacted me.

Maybe I won't have to be unemployed when my contract ends after all. I'm not comfortable working in the private sector (they basically never line up with my personal ethics) but it would be income until I can find something more suitable (maybe even my old job) at the same salary as I had before I left.

It's also in the village where my parents live, so I could maybe crash with them until I get accommodation sorted out.

Perverse as it sounds, I like it here. If it weren't for my kids, I'd just stay.

But yeah, I might have a job to go back to.

Huzzah.

sleep

I awoke at 2:30 am with these lyrics running through my mind: "...I am invincible, unbreakable, unstoppable, unshakable. They knock me down, I get up again..." (The Champion, Carrie Underwood) Yep, I'm up again, at least for today. Then again, today is all I have, so I'll take it, one day at a time.
