Good morning. A couple of things about my entry yesterday.
(1) When I said I didn’t feel like working anymore and that I was going to make today (Friday) an easy day, I meant it. I have been slowly sipping my coffee and clicking around on socials and reddit and PB all morning so far. Yes, it’s only 7:15am, but I plan on not doing much work simply because I’m just so over the work sitch. Oh, I do have to book a flight for a trade show in Vegas that’s coming up, but other than that…I’m going to slide for the most part. Except for writing up a creative brief for some packaging. Oh and reviewing some designs that came in on Wednesday. Ha! The more I think about it, the more I need to do. Ugh.
(2) I was half joking about the trip planning stuff. I do love to do that, and my friends are not annoying me like I made it out to be. I enjoy taking the reigns - it’s just that now everyone assumes I’m making all the plans! Ha! That’s okay. We’ll be in the thick of things soon enough, and anyone who’s made itineraries before knows that when you’re actually IN the location you have been planning, some of the things you’ve planned have to go by the wayside anyway and you just go with the flow. The most important thing is that I’ll be with the girls. And these friendships are super important to me.
What else? Let’s see.
I skipped two networking events this week. Is something wrong with me? I think I just didn’t have it in me due to all of the other stuff going on at work, but the thing is, the more I avoid this networking stuff and getting out into the general population, the more I become a hermit.
And I now understand the allure of just becoming a hermit. You don’t have to deal with anyone.
But hermiting (is that a word?) won’t get me a new gig.
I saw a video yesterday about a doctor who’s 100 years old and still practicing medicine?! Can you imagine going into an office when you’re 100 years old? I feel like I’m going to need to work until I’m 100 the way I’m going. All of my friends are retiring! And I’m nowhere near being able to be in that position.
Don’t ever get cancer. I don’t care how great your medical insurance is (and mine is terrible) - cancer will set you back in ways you can’t even imagine.
And yet, cancer will also help you to understand how precious life is, so what do I know?
I guess, money is money. It’s a means to so many things and yet, it can’t buy gratitude. Still, it HELPS, for sure.
I also skipped going to the grocery store this week - actually for the last couple of weeks, and I didn’t go anywhere out to eat, so I’ve been surviving on what’s in my freezer (luckily, being single, I have to keep a lot of stuff in the freezer - chicken breasts, frozen fruit and veggies, etc.) and pantry items (oats, nuts, beans, popcorn, coffee, tea). And protein shakes, ha!
Be honest. Does my life sound pathetic right now?
I need to spice things up a bit. I am in a rut.
Ok. I’ve clicked around long enough. Gotta go work out and get a couple of things done before I get this uneventful weekend started.
Happy last Friday of May, y’all! GAH! June around the corner!!!
xox,
GS
