Lots of stuff is going on for me atm, unfortunately that's why I neglect wetshaving a bit despite it being the only hobby I do on a somewhat constant basis. My resignation letter wasn't that well received by the executive team of my current nursing home, but well - I only have this month left to work there and two weeks will be an internship in a different place due to my retraining.
On Tuesday next week, I have an appointment at the new place to sign my contract. Hopefully the cooperation with my nursing school will be worked out until then - it's stressful enough to change jobs, changing schools would be the absolute worst case for me!
Also, it's the prime Holiday month. As always, not much Christmas spirit in me... I feel like I already lost that somewhere in my early teens, where everything around the holidays felt forced and all too mellow. We have really nice winter weather around here currently, but I fear all the snow will be gone on Christmas.
Unfortunately there's not much to distract me atm. Most of the games I got during sales are crap and I still didn't manage to get back into a regular exercise routine. Due to the stress, I lost weight again - now I only weigh 90 kgs/220 lbs, crazy if you think that I used to be at 120 kgs/265 lbs in 2020. Not that this was good for my health either, but... I feel like I'm only a husk of what I used to be. I know it'd be a great opportunity to start a muscle building routine, but often I lack the physical and mental energy to do anything after my shifts...
