I got a new used lawnmower this week and a post hole digger for my tractor which will be fun to play with. I got the mower stuck a couple of times because parts of my yard are a swampy mess but it's easy enough to rescue with the aforementioned tractor.

On a more sour note, I'm probably going to lose my job today which sucks, I have a history of mental health issues and my job requires me to carry a pistol, I thought I had the fortitude to not think about it being there but I don't. I talked to a doctor about my issues carrying and my ability to carry was revoked so out the door I go.

Good on you for doing the right thing and prioritizing your safety. You're right, there are other jobs out there better suited to where you're at.

Takes some sand to recognize the danger here and adjust as necessary, even if it creates temporary difficulties. This, my friends, is manning up.

That's life, at the end of the day I chose mental health over a job. There will be other jobs.

my job requires me to carry a pistol,

Unless you're in the police or military that is such a weird sentence.

Close, security guard.
