I applied for a job for the first time in a while. I got laid off in May, and I've been too burnt out to really apply anywhere. I live with my partner, so I didn't have the urgent need for cash to motivate me, and it was nice to have some time to myself for a while. But Christmas is coming up, and I'd like some of my own money to buy gifts and things. I also need a reason to get out of the house - I wore pajamas all day yesterday. So I applied to a job at a craft store. I have done so many different crafts throughout the years that I would be great at helping customers find what they need. I may not get it, but right now I'm proud of myself just for applying.
I also spent some time with my mom today. Things have been strained between us since I moved in with my partner. My parents are very religious and don't believe in living together before marriage. But she's trying to keep our relationship going, unlike my dad, who just passive-aggressively texts me bible verses. Mom wanted some help with the Christmas quilt she's making, so I went over to her house to help. She still won't come to our house, though, which makes me sad.
