This morning I had a nice discussion with Denisse and told her my plan to upgrade my security guard license to a red card. This means that I will be able to work as an armed security officer in Delaware and open up better avenues to earning money. My current employer is unreliable about giving me work. I am sad because I thought I had built a relationship with my boss. But in the end, it’s all about money.
I’m hoping that my company’s competitor will have openings at one of their armed sites. The cool thing about them is that they provide all of the gear and the firearm. I won’t have to worry about taking a gun home and dealing with the associated responsibility. This would be a good situation all around.
The plan is to start the red card classes next month as soon as is realistically possible. I might have to borrow money from family for the cost of the class but I’ve been reliable about paying them back quickly. The cost of the class is a reasonable 350.00. I can handle that for the better opportunities. I’m truly hoping things will start to get better.
For now I just have to keep going. Today I woke up knowing I would have difficulty walking so I’ve got my trusty cane. Diabetic neuropathy in my feet is no joke and some days it’s worse than others. Today happens to be one of those days. But I am a fighter and I will make it. Activities are just going to take longer.
