Overcast Sunday

-
Today is one of those Sundays where I have to spend the entire day trying to get  my mind prepped for the week ahead. Again, I don't hate what I do. I just don't like the environment. Or maybe I'm just tired of it. I spent all weekend fantasizing about running away. Just walking away from it all. I will spend 2017 getting my life to a place where if that is what I need to do in order to live in joy then I will. I read my goals and plans from December of last year in the archives. I have some of the same hopes and dreams - some of which I have accomplished. Others I am still working on achieving. I know I don't want to struggle but I don't want to be so trapped by a life that is eating me up from the inside out.

Plans for the day:

  • Get my mind right...listen to music, go work out, color in my gratitude coloring book, meditate, write
  • Get out of the house: get a cup of coffee at a cafe, go for a walk
  • Clean my apartment/do laundry, prepare for the week ahead. 
  • Planning - go through my planner and/or decorate my planner, and see what my week ahead should look like. Count down how many days until Christmas vacation. 
  • Budget
  • Maybe go out with my camera
  • Take a relaxing bath
Most of the day is gone. Despite the fact that I have rested for the past two days (I took Friday off just because) I still felt like I needed to sleep in this morning. I love self-care though. I have been trying to ration my sick days, but honestly, if I need to take some days off without pay then I will just for piece of mind. I have extra money coming to me from a couple of side gigs I have done at work so once that comes my way I will be in a better place. I am also trying to save money despite the fact that I am still paying off bills. I just need to feel like I am doing something to build a nest egg instead of all of my income expending. 

Have a blessed day!

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.
