NJM23 - Entry #21 in These Foolish Things

I think I’m starting to come around to this WFH stuff. Here’s what I did today:

Woke at 5:00 and worked out at 5:45 (little snooze action in between)

Showered and put on an animal print skirt with tights underneath (it's kinda chilly!), sweater, booties, jewelry, makeup, and fixed my hair like I was going somewhere, because I was!

Walked the dog

Talked to China at 7:30am

Went to the grocery store to get last minute fixins for T-giving, lookin' all cute!

Went to get coffee and sit in front of the fire at the coffee shop and people watch, attend a webinar, and prep for my afternoon meeting with the founder

Walked all through Nordstrom with my dog at lunchtime, letting everyone pet her and love on her (she loooovves going to Nordstrom!)

Video chatted with the founder of my company - he's actually super cool and it feels like he has a lot of respect for what I'm doing

Emails to China and then to my clueless boss who still doesn't understand that it takes months between product approvals and having product in-house - it's called PRODUCTION and it takes weeks and weeks. He seems to forget this on the daily.

Another dog walk and decent quitting time

Tomorrow I will spend a good portion of the day packing for my Thanksgiving trip!

I'd still prefer to be going to an office, but I'm going to milk this "freedom" for all it's worth until the next thing comes along. If there's one thing I've realized is that this isn't going to last forever. Nothing lasts forever. Nothing.

And I'm still in complete AWE that I now have a job that is one thousand times less stressful than the job at Cutie Pie. I was just telling myself this morning that it is worth the thirty-thousand-dollar difference in salary.

Isn't that nuts?!

So, I think I have everything I need for the Thanksgiving trek - I just need to pack it all up neatly in sweet lil' Mini Pearl II and get on the road early, early Thursday morning. Tomorrow will be a doozie, I think.

I have more to say on a serious note (two really terrible things happened this week to friends and I just don't have it in me to download right now), but I am going to have to leave these things for another time when I can process a little better.

For now, I'm going to bid Day #21 adieu.
