Spring break is finally here!

Yesterday, I started working at my sporting goods shop; I know it’s only a week, but they’ve promised me a part-time job come summer break if I do well this week. I plan to go hard this week.

I’ve been staying with my cousin since the blast of Mom’s spending blew up like a cherry bomb. The fighting going on between my parents was insane. My sister left for her friend’s place, and Dad told me to come to stay with Kayla for a bit. It almost works out better for me as they live closer to everything I call my world. No need to worry about uber or catching a ride; I can just walk everywhere this break, and when school starts back up, my cousin and I will bike.

Lucky draw for me.

My cousin and I get along like best friends, and my aunt and uncle don’t have the “barging in” issue like my mom does. So I can sit in peace in my room and not have to deal with my headphones being ripped out of my ears, with my mother standing over me complaining I should be cleaning the kitchen instead of studying for my biology test.

Nor do they make me feel like listening to music is the only way to find peace.

I’m honestly looking forward to this being a long stay. It’s no secret that my parents have issues, and I just don’t want to be in the middle of it. I feel heartbroken for whatever mental health issue my mother has been battling, but she’s been like this since I was a little girl. Honestly, enough people have told her to seek help or get better, and she doesn’t care to admit she is the problem.

It’s always someone else.

Someone else is to blame for everything.

But I don’t care to dwell on that today. Yesterday was a great first day at work. And today, as unimportant as it may sound, I’m going to learn the register. lol

The ice cream shop I’ve helped out at for years is so old that everything is in a dusty box. You have math in your head or a calculator that’s always on the desk, so learning a new system will be interesting. Although everyone says the new registers are completely foolproof, everything has a button and leaves nothing for your brain to do.

It might be a nice change. I hate math, honestly, and my anxiety will get me looking so dumb while matching with people waiting on me… ugh just the thought gives me a little anxiety.

But we won’t think about that this morning! No stressing

I’m going to sit down with my book and relax before my shift today.

I hope you all have a great day today. I see all the comments for my stories, so feel free to leave a comment, and I’ll answer.
