Well. I’m at the walking pad desk and walking it out again this morning. I’m going to head to the downtown trail again today. I’ve decided that I’m going to give myself a challenge. I’m going to see if I can get my FLIRT going. Activate those hormones (if I’ve got any left, ha!).
So that will be today’s word. Flirt. I’m a little bit excited about this experiment!
Yesterday was fine, but I didn’t get as much planning in as I wanted to. I should have known that my walk & talk with V. was going to be more intense than not.
Remember, she and I both worked for The Cutie Pie Company? Well. The big news is that the company sold! And I have to be honest and say that it sold to a really great company that I know very well (know people who have worked for this company, and their work is everywhere you shop, you just don’t know it’s their work because it’s licensed product), and I can guarantee that this has made Chief Cutie incredibly wealthy and it will bring a LOT more visibility and success to the brand. I’ll be interested to see what they do and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I don’t have big feelings about this. Chief Cutie will stay on as Creative Director for 5 years. I would most certainly be OUT if I wasn’t out earlier since my job overlapped with hers. I can’t wait to talk with my former counterpart and see what she thinks. And because she’s one of the leaders of the company, her job is either at risk or she’s going to be in a primo spot. It’s all so wild.
V. is also secretly eloping in Vegas in September! I was so excited that she told me because she’s keeping it secret from everyone else. She was dying to get it out. She says she doesn’t want her friends and family to make a big deal of it - she wants it to be just the two of them. How romantic, no? Gah, I’d love to do this someday. I still have fantasies of a tiny courthouse wedding… ahhhh, to dream.
Not sure why all of this emotion is coming out these last couple of days. This morning I clicked around on IG and found myself crying and crying at some of those sappy reels. It feels good to feel emotions again. Remember, over the last five years of my medical traumas I was not only afraid to cry, but I was also in FREEZE mode - working so hard to just stay alive! Feeling these emotions means that I am indeed alive again!! I’m so fucking grateful!
Okay, time to officially start the day with my downtown walk and my FLIRT game! Wish me luck!
Kisses,
GS
