Out of the Office - #49

Almost ready to get back to writing.

Almost.

I took one more day to catch up on some reading, jump into a new mini-class (a week long intense course in motivation - for writing and life), and I even had a couple glasses of wine with dinner.

It was glorious.

Are any of you taking time to enjoy life lately? I hope so, it's quite refreshing and I want the best for all of us!

Day of Relaxing - #48

Today I took some me time. Which included:

-social time with a bestie. It was her birthday and we hadn't had "us time" over coffee in forever. So, it was a must. And it was absolutely delightful. Like a metaphorical cup of espresso and a therapy session and the best ever shopping spree all wrapped into one.

-organized my desk area. It was nothing but pure clutter after the chaos of the last few weeks.

-took a drive and absorbed the bright sunshine, warm breeze, and creek view while I sang along (out of key) to my story's playlist.

-a little at home spa treatment. Which is just a fancy way of saying: long bath, deep face scrub, and painting of my nails: fingers and toes.

All of this is in preparation for my upcoming return to regular life post TWN (two week notice).

Now, I'm off to bake some sweets.

Hope you've had a relaxing day, peeps!

Two Week Notice COMPLETED - #47

Finally.

I am finally done with the old job.

No more construction work - constructing shelves; rigging devices to carry awkwardly shaped, heavy objects; pre-drilling* pilot holes before screwing anchor bolts into cement; and designing floor plans over and over and over and over and, you get the point.

*Though, I will admit the power tools were fun and badass. Makes me want to start my own business. You know, I'll come pre-drill for someone, but the rest of the installation is all them ;-)

That said, I'm glad I stuck it out and waited until I had another position lined up. I'm glad I was able to help my awesome, fantastic, considerate supervisor before leaving. I'm glad I learned to trust myself and stand up for what I know is right.

Back to classwork and writing and the new job soon.

Tomorrow will be a day for complete relaxation. Tuesday will mark the first day back at writing. And the new job will only be a couple days a week for now.

I don't know about you all, friends, but I'm ready for a glass of vino!
Here's to new journeys *cheers*

Happy writing!
