Starting Over at 59

Yesterday was a rough one. I’m now substitute teaching just to keep busy and bring in some additional money. I really enjoy the kids (elementary school) and the fkexibility enables me to continue the food truck/catering business. I’ve dialed back the number of events to be more reasnable with the teaching. Last night I didnt have a pop up event for the food truck, so it was time to prepwhen I got hime from the school.

When I finished cooking for the night, I like to watch TV for a while and decompress. I also unfortunately scroll through social media. It was then I realized my most recent ex had blocked me on Facebook. This immediately sent me into a tail spin. I wound up having more evening cocktails than normal, and eventually started stalking her on other platforms. I discovered she hadn’t yet blocked me on TikTok, So, I proceeded to peruse her recet posts. This contoinued until oh, about 2am… not good.

I’m not a TikToker, so in the light of the morning, I deleted my TikTok account. I need to make a conscious effort to limit alcohol intake and social media use during this transition time.
