    If anyone is curious how much money one can make from cat sitting over the Christmas holiday, I just finished my run and here's my payout.

    about $4,300.

    Although, my final client of mine sent me a tip after I screenshotted this so add $350 to it.

    This is from December 18th to January 3rd, AMA.

    It's going to be a hard hit: we have five kids, all under age 10.

    I had no idea I had a stroke but here we are. I woke up Wednesday morning with a tiny blood blister in the corner of my left eye and I had a blind spot in the center of my vision only in the left eye. My peripheral vision was fine and I thought I had just blown a blood vessel in my eye or something. I went to urgent care that day and they gave me some drops and sent me on my way. I went and shot 8 ball on my league team that night and I understandably lost because I couldn't see shit out of my left eye.

    I woke up the next morning and my vision was worse so I got in to an emergency ophthalmologist appointment and they did a litany of tests. The doc walked in to the room after testing and said "You snore - right?" and I was kinda taken aback by that question and answered "Yeah, I've snored my whole life."

    She proceeded to explain to me that I had a sleep apnea attack on Wednesday and because the optic nerve only has one vein and one artery, the eyes are the first thing to get damaged if you get deprived of oxygen in your headmeat. The "blood blister" in my eye was actually a hemmorage from me choking or gasping while I had the attack. She said I had a mini stroke and I'm lucky I'm not dead, and she sees this happen way more often than she cares to admit.

    Now I have acute ischemic retinal neuropathy in my left eye and I have no idea if my vision will ever be 100% again. Thankfully the blind spot in the center of my vision went away but my left eye is still fucked and it hurts all the time. It feels like I stared at an arc flash or a bright light in my left eye but my sight never adjusted back to normal.

    The scariest part is that this could happen again and if it does, it will go after my right eye or just completely blind me if it doesn't kill me. Try thinking of that one while you're laying down to sleep at night. Please go get your sleep apnea checked out. This is the sign to do it. I never thought it would cripple me but here we are. I don't want any of you monkeys to go through the same thing so go get looked at if you snore.

    Thanks for listening to me rant.

    Today was cancelled, because the moron brother in law with 5 kids thought he caught his wife's "cold," realized he couldn't smell gasoline when filling up his car after going to the movies, and then went to my parents in laws house because he and his family had no COVID tests. He then tested positive at their house. He's also a special education teacher, so he may have exposed his students too. This is also the same brother in law who didn't vaccinate his kids, one who has severe asthma, because they thought the vaccine could be bad for the kid with asthma, as if the virus itself would somehow be better. Now we're just waiting to see how many family members he managed to infect.

    How was your day at work??

    Big office meeting today. 12 of us cramped into the conference room. Big boss talking about how we’re losing two of our major staff members (law firm) and how we need to pull together and tighten up and how we need to step up our collections and be more like our “Indian Jew over here” (pointing to me as an effort to compliment me on my ability to collect on our legal bills)

    Not missing a beat during the awkward pause that followed, the second in command follows up with “but can he be bothered to get of his damn phone during this meeting”

    My follow up was me giving her a death stare followed by me slowly raising my empty hands (big boss was sitting next to me and saw my empty lap) and saying “wrong about the phone and not really sure about how the bigoted comment helps the meeting, but let’s continue with pulling together”

    So my day was great.
