Well, as of today I'm unemployed. My manager was upset that I was leaving but she told me she was going to make it so that if I ever wanted to come back, even if it wasn't THAT location, they basically would since they'd have her good word on me. I thought that was nice and she's gonna sort out the paycheck problem as well. I know I won't be going back to CC's for employment, but that recommendation for re-hire will be a good thing later, I suppose.
I'm thinking of not pursuing any other job until after the visit in February, that way I don't have to fight for scheduling or anything like that if I get hired elsewhere. Plus I don't need to be on my feet too much right now even though the doctor FINALLY gave me pain pills, which work pretty good except they make me a tad dizzy at first. The MRI showed no tears or anything so basically the diagnosis is "give it time". It's doing better than it was, but it's still hurting.
I've been severely depressed for a while now and half of it's unexplained and the other half I know is a combination of being upset that I'm so poor and that I haven't properly talked to Hattie in more than a month now. The most of a conversation we've had was Christmas eve, texting periodically until Midnight when we wished each other a Merry Christmas. He hasn't IMed me since early November, but I know it's all his job taking up his time. I'm hoping after New Years it all slows down because honestly I miss him and I miss having the comfort he brings when I feel like I've let the world down by being me. I think I'll just be sad until February, it's like the realization I'm not there yet and it's gonna be a while kicks me every day.
My Christmas was alright. I got some money, a blanket, a bean bag chair, and some sketchbooks. My cousin and his fiance made shrimp eggrolls and we had pork instead of a turkey since we kinda got tired of it from Thanksgiving. My other cousin brought over her boytoy. Really I could rant all day about that guy. My cousin is paying more attention to this dirtbag than her own daughter and her daughter's gonna end up wanting to be at her dad's more because she gets attention and isn't thrown at her grandparents all the time.
Anyway enough with my rambling.

Just a month and a half to go, but right now it seems so far because all my days go by so slowly.
That's great that your manager told you she would give a good reference. You always want those when you leave a workplace. It sounds like good reasoning to wait to seek employment elsewhere. But when you're ready again, you know there's tons of us that will be hoping you find a better fit for the next one
And thanks, I'm glad to have so much support on the decision. I know a couple when I first started to think about quitting were saying give it more time but I can't risk this injury again.
