Today was my first shift at my new job!! I went through orientation watching videos and meeting with my manager to introduce me to the place and my coworkers. It turns out I knew a few of the new coworkers (one I hadn’t seen for a long time) so that was really awesome!

I do have a sad milestone coming up in a few days. On 6/22, it will be 4 years since my daughter Sydney passed away of a drug overdose. Last year when my ex-wife and I had a celebration on this day, I pretty much went crazy after that day, which resulting in some of the things from the June 17th post. If you’d like to see a few details about Sydney, here is a link to her obituary: https://bakken-young.com/sydney-hahn-06-22-2021/. I think this year I will be ok (obviously not a good day) as my therapist has told me that I’m in the acceptance stage of grief for her death. I’m going to be watching myself that day and likely try to stick to the routine I do on a daily basis to ensure I don’t go off the deep end. Also, another milestone next week for me would have been the 25th anniversary of my marriage to my ex-wife. And technically we are still married as the divorce proceedings are not finalized (entering Mediation end of August) so we will have been officially married for 25 yrs. I will discuss details around the divorce in future posts as it’s not a short story

Thats all I really have for today. I hope you have a great day! I will be enabling comments to be added to posts in the future so I can hear any feedback you have on these posts.
