Not fantastic. The kids started daycare and brought home some illness that I caught immediately. I called off work a couple days and they want documentation of some sort, as if I can afford a visit to the doctor with no insurance. On the other hand, I did land an interview for a much better job, so I remain hopeful.

First year of daycare is constant sickness in my experience. Hopefully your new employer is more understanding.
If I tried to explain it to someone else it wouldn't sound like much. But to me it's been busy with lots of stuff done. I feel I need another break already.
At least tomorrow is Friday. Going to tour a school for my kid's next year tomorrow morning.
can see a letter coming in from the unemployment office. I think my benefits are running out and job responsive did not get better in the new year like I expected. so not great.
Shopping list app I used stopped working and disappeared from the App Store so my adulting is in shambles.
To top it off I’m down with either a stomach flu or just having a flare up of my chronic illness so I argue with random people on Lemmy to distract myself from it. Got a referral to hospital but first free slot is in April. I won’t qualify for the expensive but the only effective treatment because I live in a country with one of the lowest healthcare expenditures in Europe, yay!
Good, was sick last week and now feeling a lot better so it's like the world is open with possibilities again.
Regarding the sickness, I was at like 70% for a full week. Not enough to actually lay around and be lazy all day but sick enough that I couldn't really stomach doing anything of importance.
