Just a few more days, and i have several months to skill up and get a new job (DRP: admin leave with all pay and benefits intact through September). Nervous as hell about it but I've never really seen my future in federal employment, even before... the last several months. Aiming for 100% remote work to hopefully make leaving this state easier, since my lease ends at a bad time to be job searching (end of december).
Gonna use that time to catch up on uhhhh... roughly 10(?)+ years of not seeing a doctor, lose weight (a lot easier to diet when you're not eating out to avoid being in the office), exercise, etc. Really overdue to get a new mattress too, other than that i dont have any major expenses in my near future.
Also need to make decisions on where i want to end up living. There is very little that i will miss about Ohio long term. Got a few places on my "short" list; Minnesota, Chicago, Oregon, Washington state. I've looked around online at apartments (tbh rent in Chicago looks expensive AF from what i did look into online, not entirely sure I'll keep it on my list) in these places.
God the thought of having space far enough away from family is exciting; to finally get to seriously look into HRT, without being outed immediately by random people who know you/your family and gossiping about it.
Edit: oh, and I'm going to try again for an ADHD diagnosis(with a different psychologist). I forgot to cancel a followup appointment with the last one far enough in advance and just ate a fucking $200 late cancellation fee. Should've listened to the reviews for Lifestance...
