Wow, it's been so long! You've grown so much! Let's measure you up against your cousin, see how tall you are now!

It's been four years since I've bothered to sign in here, huh?

Well, honestly, I forgot I had a blog. Blogging is kind of a dying art, as far as I can tell. Doesn't it seem that way? I guarantee no one is going to see this besides my mother, and that's if she decides to log in and see my updates.

Well, I got a promotion at work in 2015 - I'm no longer a cashier at Hobby Lobby. Now I'm the bookkeeper for the store I work in, which means I handle the monthly spending ledger, manage office paperwork, and count money. And I do it every single day, but I'm still part-time, so my shifts run from 8 to 10:30, maybe 11 on a good day.

Naturally, this gives me a lot of free time, which I have spent not blogging.

But hey, might as well give the empty void I'm talking to an update on my life, right? I broke my knee in May. The 23rd is still marked on my calendar where I was supposed to go see Porco Rosso with a friend, but instead, I bent my knee completely backward trying to put on my socks. The fractures were so fine they couldn't be seen on an X-Ray, but they sure did show up on the MRI - as well as the torn and sprained PCL and the sprained hamstring. I was out of work for two miserable months.

I can walk without my cane as of the end of September, but I still can't get on my knees or turn very fast. Walking's getting better, though, so I guess I'll be back to a somewhat normal state soon.

I've met new people, I've made new friends, and I've grown as a person I think. But I'm still living at home, I'm still not in college, and I still have anger issues.

Today I got my certificate for 5 years of service with Hobby Lobby, along with a $250 gift card to the store and a fancy schmancy gold pin to put on my apron. I've been asking about it since September 23, which was my five-year mark, so I knew it was coming, but I still cried when it was presented to me.

Also, I can't believe Grammarly corrected my spelling on the word 'schmancy'.

I've taken up more crafts and started a YouTube channel. And maybe I'll even post here again. Who knows. I sure don't!

Later.
