Still Here: The Saturday Night Edition

-
Just writing to say that I'm still here. Today I piddled around the house for most of the morning then headed out to meet someone for a late lunch. I then ran a few errands. I am preparing for my new job and trying to get myself pre-organized so when I walk in I am ready to hit the ground running. I met my new assistant yesterday for coffee and I like him but he has had a challenging time and is in a place where he is ready to move on. I am hoping he stays and we can have a great working relationship.

Tomorrow my plan is to deep condition my hair, deep clean my apartment, and organize my items that I will moving into my new work space. I think I will simultaneously organize my space here at home and finally get rid of a few things. I have old papers that need to be shredded but I think I got rid of my shredder when I moved so there's that. There is a container in the lobby of my building that accepts papers for shredding but I would only use that for old bills not sensitive items that might have personal information on it. Sooooo maybe tomorrow I will hunt for a shredder. But only AFTER I have done all of the other items on my to do list. I am actually being quite productive. I guess because I know things will get crazy once I go back to work full time. I just want to be in a good place because I typically don't get a chance to catch my breath again until Thanksgiving.

I know I have said it before but I think I am really going to do it this time (I know I said THAT before too) but I am going to set up a work out schedule. I am considering ordering a life planner (either Erin Condrun or something similar) to keep up with paying bills, cleaning, working out, and person appointments. I am thinking I will have a separate work calendar. We'll see how much I get situated in the next week.

Until then be well and continue to count your blessings.

Goal Setting

-
Had my goal setting meeting with bosses. We are keeping the same goals as last year. I will still casually browse around for a job, but I feel relatively confident that I am safe - for now. Now, my goals for the summer include but aren't limited to: Get my apartment deep cleaned and redecorated Clear out storage unit Travel (even if locally) Take lots of photos: Do a neighborhood project where I shoot different blocks and neighborhoods each day.  Go to Brooklyn - a lot! Go to lots of free concerts Score lots of rush tickets to see Broadway shows Hit the gym, swim, walk, and bike Write, write, write! Get to one of those Korean spas I keep hearing about Stay on top of my pedicures and massages Watch plenty of sunrises and sunsets Get back to living a clean life Rediscover joy Go to the beach - a lot! Laugh - a lot! Get my finances in order Catch up on the magazines that have piled up Catch up on the books that have piled up Takes lots of relaxing baths Have f...

My baby has crossed the rainbow bridge

-
I know a few of your have been lurking here for years. So you know that I had a sweet little fur baby who I loved very much and who has moved with me from city to city since I've had her. It is with much sadness that I must report that my sweet girl was put to sleep to on Monday. She was getting up in age and had several medical conditions that warranted putting her to sleep. Her quality of life had deteriorated and I was no longer able to care for her the way she needed to be cared for. Her vet wanted her put down a while ago but because I have my issues with grief and abandonment I wasn't ready. I think getting therapy for the short time that I did was helpful with getting me over the hump to move forward. I know it was the right thing to do and she went so peacefully that it helped me know that I made choice.  I miss my girl. I look for her because we have never been apart for long periods of time. There are people who don't understand the connection that humans have to ...

Took a break

-
I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
