Today I have a little more perspective on things and am really prepping myself for change. I just read an entry on another diary about writing out a 5 year plan and it was inspiring. I really should do this, but it’s almost like I need a 1 year plan! Or even a 6-month plan.
Seriously, I’ve been drifing about lately just waiting for things to happen to me. I really gotta make those things happen for myself. That’s the ONLY way that I will be able to satisfy myself and the things that I need. I know I can make things happen – I’ve done it before. It’s just that I fall into these little traps thinking that I’m helpless to resolve certain issues. It’s just not the case.
So, on the job front: Getting an appointment to talk with [high-end fashion company] yesterday was exactly what I needed to boost my job morale. After the internal position at my current place of employment fell through in a HUGE way, I reached out to [h-e-f company] the next day. Again. I’ve been trying to wedge my foot in the door with them for a few years now, so I’ve got to figure out a way to WOW the HR person over the phone. This phone call may be nothing – there may not be anything open, but I just want to make a good impression. Need to figure out how…
On the relationship front: OK. So it appears that big change is on the horizon for SP and me when SOS moves out of the hospital and in with SP. You guys are right, my instinct bells are GOING OFF like crazy and I am concerned, but there is nothing that I can do to change that. The only thing I can do is keep watching things from a safe distance. Do I want to do this for a long time? No. Will I do it for a while and see what happens? Sure. Look, I’ve got time. Not forever, but time. If I find that I’m missing out in a big way on the companionship thing, I will need to make adjustments. I’m not really all that worried about it at the moment. Still, I need to add my expectations to the plan and keep checking in with regards to how things are going.
On the health front: Duh. Need to get this in writing as well. It will help.
On the Writing front: Guess what? Looks like I’m going to try NoJoMo again this year. We’ll see if that helps. When I’m successful at it I tend to come out the other side with more clarity. I’m also hoping that OD stays up the whole time. Clearly.
Brother update: My bro is head over heels in love! I have never, ever seen/heard him this way. I am really excited for him and hope that he does remain happy in China. It would be great to be able to see him when I go to China again in March. Who knows? By then he could be married with a baby on the way! Good for him.
Cindy update: Was nice to see her at dinner last night, although I thought she might share some excitement over her big Costa Rican yoga experience. I mean, she went through a HUGE earthquake while she was there and met lots of people, but I guess it was a big certification thing so it was like working a full-time job. Still, it was Costa Rica. And it was away from here, you know? And then she came back and broke up with her boyfriend, which…yeah, yuck. So I tried to offer some words of comfort, and I don’t know if I helped any. Still, she send me an email telling me that I’m a wise owl where relationships are concerned. Hah! That makes me laugh a little.
Well, something weird is going on with my computer and it looks like I need to reboot, so I’m going to get out of here for now.
XXOO!
