Howdy, folks! Just giving you an update on me. Those of you who personally know me already know. But these are for the others.
- I quit my overnight production job back on April 29. The combo of juggling an overnight job and having a social life made me very sick on top of working in an old building with very little air circulation. It was especially bad summer of 2023 when we had those 90 days of 105+ degree temperatures on top of recovery from a 12 year abusive relationship. My mentality was breaking, I lost my desire to attempt to go support my friends due to how sick I was, and lost friendships in the process. And my mental health drove me to where all of my 3 years worth of pinup attire got damaged due to me not keeping up with the upkeep of my old place. So I had to force myself to move back to North Phoenix with my dad for a while and rehabilitate. My left knee was twisted for a good while and having some lower back pain. My left knee is back to normal but I need to get on insurance to go see a pain specialist.
- I start a job as a teacher's aide Early August for the upcoming school year but I'm going to try to get under the table cash by going to work for a temp service and attempt to donate plasma again till it's time to start my job as a teacher's aide.
- So if at least this job with the temp service goes well, I want to return behind the camera starting with 12 Hours of Pain & Purpose Spinathon this July and I'll lead the charge for a new group shoot called The Unfolded this September.
- Once I start my teacher aide job this August, I want to join a pinup pageant again. And it will be with Miss Pinup AZ after the kindness of the host and founder of this group, Kathy Madole-Esposito has shown me by donating a dress.
I'm okay, everyone! I just need to learn to take help when it's offered and not be stubborn and think nobody is out to get me. I love you all who have stuck by me.
I'm coming back. I promise. 🥹
