NJM23 - Entry #13 in These Foolish Things

…but Mexico really wasn’t ALL bad!

I know I gave you the impression that it was a terrible vacation. It wasn’t!

In fact, 93% of it was lovely. It’s a shame that I let 7% of the time take up so much of my emotional energy. I loved being with my friends - I really, really did. They have been such an important part of my life for nearly forty years! I would never want to let some dumb gummies mixed with booze be the reason for not seeing them again.

I’m set in my ways and I’ve just been alone for far, far too long and I need to just let things go and just Let Them. Have you heard of this life hack to help you overcome the stress you feel around other peoples’ actions? It’s called “Let Them” See Mel Robbins short video here:

Then here we are, back to real life and I’m back to a very real job. I’m the new kid but was still buried in emails when I logged on today. Today I was happy that I am a remote worker as I struggled getting out of bed. I did my workout a little late, but found a fantastic post-workout stretch video that really seemed to do the trick with my hip stiffness, then I took the dog for a good little walk and was finally sitting down at my desk by 8:45 (still early for West Coast, and I worked until after 6pm today, so I’d say it was okay).

And now I’m so freaking exhausted. I’m about to put on my flannel jammies, curl up in bed and catch up on the Golden Bachelor that I missed while I was in Mexico. And THEN I need to start the latest season of The Morning Show. Anybody else? Don’t spoil, please…I haven’t even started it!

Off I go…goodnight, sleep tight!
