I have been looking for a new sofa for a while now but I bought two new armchairs instead as my front doorway has become so narrow since we got a replacement door that I don't think that most sofas would even fit through the door!

I bought a hand blender that I use to blend soup (my old one broke) and some new black vest tops as I wear them most of the time during the day and to sleep in at night.

Finally qualified for the garage parking pass (done by hire date) at work. Will save me $40 a month and time.

On the same day, was told my job responsibilities will change to something no one really knows yet, but will be "education" of patients. It is for $$, so they can charge doctor rates for the visits that I used to do.

V v v v v depresed about this. I educate patients individually every day as a nurse, I don't want to teach classes. I'm not a teacher. Except my breastfeeding support group, that I can keep, apparently. I love that group.

Looking for another job at 57, while worrying about my mom's health, learning a new electronic medical record (EPIC) at work because we are changing systems, is toooooooo much for me.

Trying to stop crying randomly in the work garage currently, waiting to go in to work. Found all this out yesterday. I just want to get a tiny house in the woods with a veg garden and a big ole dog and fresh air to breathe and run away.

Sorry to jack the thread, just meant to post about the parking pass. :'-(

It seems really unfair that your employer can even do this to you.o_O:(

My mum is job hunting in her 60s. She will be 70 next month. The job she has is changing on top of being a longer than desirable commute. It's very difficult because prospective employers always find "non-age related" excuses not to hire. She can't afford to live without the income, and at 29 I am in no position to support her. I feel your pain

I am using my good face creme again and trying to get sleep (lol) so I will look a bit younger when I (hopefully) go on interview(s). Luckily I went to school for my nursing degree after university and working at IBM for awhile, so I just leave out the dates of my original university and job, and put the dates on my nursing school front and center. So it appears on paper that I am younger. ;)

I went to Comic-Con today :D

I bought Machi Koro (a japanese card game), a necklace of Fawkes the phoenix from Harry Potter, a book full of cartoon-style Roller Derby artwork by an amazing artist, and a couple of little pokemon plush toys (and the guy threw in a tiny dangly No Face for free).

Aaaand I'm going back tomorrow.
