Day 16 in These Foolish Things

I’ve literally been on the job for 16 days now. It’s starting to sink in a bit. Maybe? It’s a lot, but at least nobody has quit since Monday. I have to give Quitter’s 30-day check-in today. Should be interesting.
I gave a 30-day check-in to Sweetie yesterday. She’s yooooung and enthusiastic and makes a ton of mistakes. I had to tell her to slow down and understand instructions.
I kinda need to take my own advice above. It’s so freaking fast and furious. I need to figure this out for my mental and physical health! I’ve realized that I haven’t pooped in a couple of days and that’s NOT GOOD for a colon cancer survivor! I had to remind myself about six times yesterday to relax my shoulders. I was so tensed up.
Anyway, yesterday felt many times better than Monday, but it’s all going to be a learning. This is NOT rocket science (side note: it IS rocket science at the company that’s below us in the same building! They are making some kind of space stuff!). My business is Cutie Pie! It’s all confetti and sunshine!
I have been invited to a wedding this weekend with Crazy Bob. I’m not super excited about going, but I NEED to get out and have a social life.
Martini had a very good day at her daycare tryouts, so I’m going to board her for a night so that mommy can go out and actually meet people again.
I should be excited, but I feel kinda gross and chubby again. What am I even going to wear? Maybe once I doll myself up I’ll feel better?
Gotta roll. I have a 7:30am video call with a retailer on the East Coast and China on the line.
Ah, this is the life,

Does Martini have separation anxiety? I'm usually able to leave my dogs for a few hours if I have to work or go out in the evening.

You have gone from zero to a hundred in a few short weeks, look after yourself.

A year will pass and you’ll look back fondly on these days.

Chubby does not equal gross, but I hope you felt okay.

Ugh, sorry about the stress. Was it Gilda Radner who did the skit on Feenamint gum? Something about going grocery shopping with her mother and her mother saying, loudly, so that people turned around to look at them, "WHAT, are you CONSTIPATED? Have some Feenamint. It LOOSENS your BOWELS. Look, I'm chewing it RIGHT NOW. Don't worry, NO ONE WILL KNOW."

It sounds like you're starting to find your legs, and that's excellent in such a short timeframe!
