Happy New Year!

Goodbye, 2009. Hello, 2010!

2009 has not been a great year. On the upside, I managed to work steadily. On the downside, I still don't have a 'real' job.

I resolve to be more positive in 2010 and bring positive things and thoughts my way.

Recent Hair Issue

-
Recently learned I am Vitamin D deficient.  Due to covid, a lot more people are probably deficient from staying indoors a lot more.  Anywho, doc prescribed supplements.  I am starting to wonder if this had anything to do with my hair recently going very dry and falling out.  I also had a recent scalp psoriasis flare up.  Add stress to that and I'd think that's some pretty good causes for my hair suddenly changing.  Oh, and also add that I pretty much stopped eating red meat.  Now it all makes sense. Hopefully, the Vit D supplements help, along with walks outside during the week.  I was taking a hair, skin, nail biotin supplement, but I am looking into taking collagen instead, to make up for not eating much beef and chicken. Any suggestions, advice, thoughts?

Covid Pandemic (Year One)

-
Wow. It's been a year since the Covid outbreak was declared a pandemic. Definitely did not think it would last more than a couple months. It's been tougher than I'd like to admit, but could've been worse, so I'm thankful I've been able to survive the year (with no health issues) and grateful I was able to keep my head above water this whole time. Unfortunately, it is still ongoing and the end is nowhere in sight (thanks to our so-called leaders making very poor decisions, and disillusioned individuals so blinded by hatred they can't see past their own stupidity). It's been nearly one year (next week) that I've been to my main job (primary source of income) but I've been blessed with a salary to help me through this time. It's enable me to survive, and I was actually able to not have to use my savings ... until recently. Ouch. I was already pretty much a germaphobe (like, really, people are kinda nasty) and homebody before the pandemic, so not...

In Between Jobs

-
There are so many of us without employment these days.  Is that an understatement?  Maybe I should say there are TOO many of us without employment.  I was laid off in 2008 from a job I'd been at for over six years.  I didn't like it there so much at first but it grew on me and what I really loved about it was being busy.  I was lucky enough to get a contract position soon after.  That only lasted a couple weeks but I made enough of an impression to be asked back a few months later, which turned into a long-term contract that ended after two years.  The permanent position that was supposed to come after that... didn't.  Another contract position followed, which has ended.  I guess you could say that ended at the right time because my psoriasis was flaring up (I had, no have, a very flaky face, neck and chest). So right now, I find myself again in between jobs (real ones).  Most of my day is spent trailing the job sites, clicking Apply N...
