This morning, I was reading another blog when I clicked the Blogger link on the page header, not really thinking about it. It took me to the publishing page for this blog. I happened to notice that the last time I wrote anything was a year ago yesterday. The previous post before that was from August 2016.
Every so often, I get the bug to write something, but more often than not, I forget about it. Worse, I often don't think about it at all. I really can't recall the last time I even thought about this blog.
At least I can give an update on things since I last wrote.
In the year since I last posted:
1. I settled my worker's compensation case. They've been paying out since around February. I've been trying to save as much as I can, but I've been essentially living on the money that comes in.
(EDIT: With regards to my worker's comp case, I mentioned in the previous post that I believed I would have to go to court at some point in time. I never even set foot in a courtroom at all. I never saw the plaintiffs' attorneys or spoke to any of them directly. Everything was done through my lawyer and through his office, except when I had to be assessed by the doctor whose report who be used in deciding the case.)
2. Through worker's comp, I've completed retraining to become an optician. In three weeks from today, I am retaking the American Board of Opticianry certification exam. I took it last May, but did not pass. I really don't know if I will pursue opticianry as a career, but I feel like I need to take advantage of the opportunity that God has given me.
3. I have finally be cleared to go back to work. Since September, I have been working at Whole Foods Market as a shopper for Amazon Prime Now. People submit their shopping lists, we fill the orders, and pass them off to Amazon Flex for delivery. I like what I do, but like a lot of the people I work with, I don't get too many hours. Hours are posted to the employee website on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 4:15 pm, and it's first come, first served.
There's not much else to say for now, other than the standard promise to post more often, then neglect this page for another year.
