Some bad news and some life updates.

Well, today isn't exactly a great day in history. But hey, what day is?
So, I just got back from an employee meeting for the place I work at as a baker. I've been informed that the baking position has been terminated. The staff had been working to redo the restaraunt, new menu, new managers, new employees, etc. And they put a co-worker that I got on well with to a management position, and this person has had years of experience in the food and beverage industry, so it's a good fit.
I got offered a position as a line cook. It's totally out of my element, but I'm honestly a pretty decent employee, and I guess they noticed that much. I show up when scheduled, I'm responsible when I get sick, I'm easy to get in contact with. I mean, I'm not perfect because I am new to the industry and make mistakes, but that's normal.
I'm going to take it. It's less money than I made before, and I'll probably screw up even more now, but that's natural. I mean, I don't have another job and while there are bakeries locally, I have no idea how well they're doing or if they're even hiring. I guess I'll find out soon enough, though. I mean, the place has had issues with management and I know that they are understaffed, especially since we have a couple of big groups coming in early March.
It would've been nice if this could come a year later or so. I want to stay at home right now so I can continue to make progress with anxiety and a number of the other issues I have. Plus my dog since childhood is still around. I'm honestly the only person in the house that cares about her. My mom advocated for her to be put down (she's still hyperactive and doesn't show signs of being in serious pain, so that is not an option for me, personally) and my dad jokes about her dying all the freaking time. I still need to get a driver's liscence, but I don't want to get a car because then it'll just break down in five years and there goes thousands of dollars for repair until three years later for when I need to go and buy a new car altogether. Ugh.
I dunno. At least I still have a job for now. Besides, it will probably be cool to learn more of the Culinary side of the food industry. It's really not what I particularly want to pursue. Honestly, I'd like to stick around in this industry for at least ten years, save some money up and then maybe take classes for another career down the line. Maybe an HR rep or something. I dunno.
I'm just glad I used my past two months off to do some soul searching and made progress with stuff. I came out to my brothers, so that was a huge relief. I'm making progress with my anxiety. I'm still boxing. Not daily, unfortunately. But the longest slump I had since I started was three days without boxing. So, I mean, as self-serving as it sounds, I haven't given up.
This news is kinda discouraging, and right now, I admit, I am in a gloomy mood, but I'll be fine. It's not the end of the world, and it's definitely not going to be the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. I'll be fine. ^^ Just needed to ramble a bit here.
It is what it is.
