- I put the dishes in the dishwasher. (Still haven't gotten rid of the gnats.)
- This is good because while at Call Center #2, most weeks I had been loading the dishwasher on Mondays during my shift. Now at New Job, I missed last week and panicked a bit because there are so many meetings and not so much downtime. So I adapted. Yay, me!
- I've been good about following my emotional independence guidelines.
- Peer 1 sent me an email out of the blue. Normally, I would excitedly respond and be disappointed when I didn't get an immediate response. But now I scheduled it to send using my guidelines.
- Family Member 1 also has sent me a couple emails. Again, I'm waiting until my scheduled time to respond. I just feel more in control of the situation this way.
- And when there are things I want to share with just anyone, instead of engaging High-Risk individuals, I just share it with former co-workers or Low- Risk Peers that have little to no impact on my emotional state. I get the positive feedback I was soliciting and I can move on. Yay, me!
- I made more furniture.
- I'm in a bit of a dillema. I get so impatient and frustrated with the heat working outdoors, but working indoors gets everything dirty and it's hard to breathe when I'm staining the pieces. My initial thought was I quit - I'm never doing this again- I'll just wait till Fall. But we all know by now, I'm not great at waiting for things. So I want to keep going and finish (and start) two more pieces I've already planned out. I think I might just get a second fan and more candles (to help with the fumes). Suck it up and finish.
- I cleaned the sewing machine.
- This was a combination of cleaning up the mess I made with woodworking indoors; quitting woodworking indoors; and just setting up an alternate hobby I can do indoors. Either way the sewing machine is clean. I need to set up a workspace. I think I decided to use one of the kitchen nooks as opposed to upstairs in the office. Once I get a better couch, I'll eventually move the futon upstairs (or take with me to New Job). But if the futon moves upstairs, there will be no room for a sewing/crafting corner. Plus, it'll be easier to sweep up debris on laminate than carpet.
- I survived Week 1 of New Job.
- Quite notably the high has worn off. I was a bit concerned I would like it so much (read: highly hilarious) that I would find myself in a conundrum about Death Date. Ha!
- I still am really hoping and praying that I do a great job. Like 8th grade excellence - where I got straight A+s. I'm just not sure that the scope of my job actually involves something that has a deliverable or a measurable impact. I still want to do a really good job!!
Some other things
- For whatever reason, I've had the robovac at least 2 weeks and it's still in the box. I think I'm just not interested in having to set it up without a phone. Ugh.
- In 3 months, I'm hoping to make a decision about obtaining regular cell phone service. I was hoping the cell phone would be offered. But after seeking it out myself and realizing the usage is monitored, now I'm not sure I want a corporate phone. My default setting is to fly under the radar, so I don't know.
That's all for now.
