It's been quite a while since my last entry here. Life has been a wild ride since then. I'm currently recovering from knee surgery (following the knee injury I wrote about in December of 2021) and my job is trying to screw me out of my paid medical leave in the middle of my recovery which is a fun experience. I don't feel like getting into the details but it's safe to say that I will not be returning once my leave is up, due to this and a whole grip of other ridiculous happenings that have occured since we hired a new CEO in January. It's time to escape from the circus...
Besides the work drama I am healing really well from surgery and overall happy with my life. I've been doing a lot of [trauma and/or substance use] recovery work over the past 5 years and I'm really noticing the results; I am more able to show up for myself and actually participate in my own life instead of feeling and acting like a puppet without agency. It's interesting to look back and reflect on how unaware I was of my circumstances because they felt normal. I was living life the only way I knew how. I suppose each one of us is.
