I know 2018 isn’t over yet but it’s close enough to do a wrap up.
This year started off much better at work, i’m so glad that I didn’t quit. I did pick up a second job at the YMCA and it has been quite tough. My free time is more limited than it used to be and working around 9.5 hour days 3 days a week is exhausting. I love working with children and with my co-workers so it makes it worth it in the long run. I’m still living at home but i’m really hoping to move out in 2019. *cross fingers*. I did find a therapist in June who I really connect with and who really understands me. I’m very lucky to have found her she has been helping me a lot. Money still has been a struggle this year. I am noticing how impulsive I am with spending but I am getting a bit better at saving ironically though. I got to teach my first music class for my preschoolers which has been a bucket goal forever. It was totally last minute planning but I loved it, they loved it and it went very well. I got to be back on the stage in a full length musical, Cabaret. I was actually in the first every female production of Cabaret ever. We sold out every single show(even adding a 9th show which sold out) It was an incredible experience that I’m so glad that I got to do. I also got to play a man and a woman which was super cool.
