Late June Update on Exiting Goodwill

Tweet

Hi Mylot friends. I'm stopping by to say hello and give you an update, since I've previously posted a little over a month ago. I'm doing okay and still been busy and quite stressed at work lately. I'm still looking forward to getting out of there, hopefully around two months from today. I've been approved to receive OOD services again, two weeks ago. Two weeks from tomorrow, I'll meet with my new job counselor Raenell to work on my IPE, and hopefully request to be teamed up with Danielle again from Hattie Larlhalm. That's my main goal. I don't think I need to have CBA temp work, since I'm already working at Goodwill. I do have to reapply with Hattie Larlhham, and then go to job development to start applying for jobs next month. I've been proactively doing this everyday, ever since I've gotten the green light, and even before so, when I was on vacation a month ago from work. My main goal is to have a mediium-paced, perhaps sedentary job, since that's recommended by various sites on chronic back pain and arthritis, or something to align with my interests (reading, writing/editing, research, photography, nature, and animal welfare/pet adoption), and also for other retail jobs (sales associate, customer service rep, and cashier), that I can do. And stay at home jobs is an option, though I'm still getting some assignments from Upwork every now and then. My Primary Care Physician had signed on for me to send a second cat for an emotional support animal. Ever since I had an anxiety attack for that cat bite, 1.5 years ago, she had diagnosed me as having Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I didn't know that, until I saw it in my visit summary. Thank God for my Finch app and Bailey. After this gradual introduction hopefully goes well with Bailey, I'll share a photo of him or her. And she had also referred me to see a sports medicine doctor for my osteoarthritis and upper back pain from Scoliosis. I should hear back on the referral by Wednesday to schedule my July appointment. She also said that having a desk type job would also help my back as well. I apologize for being inactive lately. I promise to try to show up on my days off from work to check in and to say hi. I've created a goal on my Finch App, so I won't forget about you guys. I still miss you. It's been crazy stressful lately, which I'm struggling with hitting my own quota everyday. I'll be back later tonight to stop by.
