Sounds fun! I’ll be attending a bridal shower today for my future daughter-in-law!

Unity in our family!

I am also a tea drinker, although plain black tea is not my favorite. I try to stick with decaf varieties and like to mix it up - black, green, white, rooibos, herbal (not true tea)… I drink a lot of tea throughout the day so I like to have different flavors. I think coffee is a trick! Lol it smells amazing but the taste is not it ha ha ha I drink coffee sometimes if it’s the only drink available, but only if I can put a lot of cream and sugar in it, and then it’s so unhealthy. Even then, I don’t really love it, but enough cream and sugar will take the edge off so I can tolerate it. I’d still rather have my tea. 🙃

great shift! I can relate. I used to try to do everything, but it was out of necessity as a low-income single parent with 3 kids and the only financial provider. But my kids are teens and young adults now and I'm more financially stable and I have more choice, which is a GOOD thing!

I think I’m at level one right now because I’m not working.

@Dan Quinlan oh haha I guess I skimmed the post rather than reading. I was thinking what level I would consider myself. I do like the new names though. I guess level 3 seems right because I'm not actively making an action plan which is the next step. I think not having a solid plan is my biggest setback. I have been completing online training for a few jobs but they're all temporary / part-time, sometimes very low hours, or substitute positions with no guarantee of hours. I'm feeling overwhelmed with a lot of the requirements, including trainings, background checks (and have to get a separate fingerprinting for each position), medical statements and blood tests, etc. It's been time-consuming and frustrating and is getting expensive. Many of the jobs have a lot to complete with no real guarantee of work - must do all these things on my own without even having an offer, let alone commitment.
