Hi guys. I think the last time I was really happy was when I went on vacation to Dallas back in February. I got to visit the Sixth Floor Museum (was very interesting and sad honestly but I was glad I got a chance to go), try out a new place to eat I wanted to go to since reading about it, and I attended a fan convention that was lots of fun. I enjoyed seeing people's costumes and attending panels and concerts.
Anyway all that changed after I got home. Not long after my family's 13 year old Corgi started having health problems and had to be put to sleep. We were just trying to mourn her and the grief from that was still raw when I had some dental work done and ended up with TMJ afterward which is where the joints in the back of the jaw get really painful. I'm trying to get treated for that as best I can. After that all the lockdown stuff started happening. I couldn't go to the movies with my friend group which was one of the things we loved to do the most or go to any other meetings with them. We had an event set to see Onward together and it got messed up because of the virus. Soon I had to start wearing an N95 mask when I went outside. Then I got furloughed off my job. Now I'm struggling to get in touch with unemployment which is completely overwhelmed and hard to get through to. They were supposed to be taking calls yesterday on Saturday but I called over 500 times and couldn't get through.
I'll be really glad when this nightmare ends because I'm getting really overwhelmed.
I know a lot of other people have it much worse, especially if they've lost family members... but I really kind of wish I could go back to February and just enjoy life again.
