I've been focusing on two main things:Life Update Recently, life has been filled with a mix of challenges and transitions: Job Search: I've been actively searching for a new role after having to take a severance package and leave my job of 25 years. The adjustment has been tough, and the absence of that long-standing routine still weighs on me.

Can you believe how quickly this year is flying by? Sometimes it feels like time speeds up, whether you’re having fun or not! I’ve had my share of enjoyable moments—and a few not-so-great ones, if I’m being honest. As some of you know, I started a new job back in January, and for the most part, it’s been a positive experience.

Screw you hurricane Milton!

Hey everyone! Hurricane Milton didn't physically damage my apartment, but there was some minor water damage and fallen trees wrecked cars nearby. I live in Lutz, north of the wall, and we got hit with strong winds and heavy rain. The hurricane knocked down power poles and lines, leaving me without power for nearly 24 hours—but hey, I'm not complaining. I'm grateful WREC got our power back so fast. Honestly, I wasn't prepared for this storm at all. Mentally, it was a nightmare for me. The howling wind in the darkness with no power was terrifying. I've lived in Florida…
