Last night was another sleepless night. Not sure why. Thoughts ruminating I supposed. I even tried updating a spreadsheet this morning, as that's usually therapeutic, but my heart wasn't in it.
Here's the latest...
- I chatted with New Manager yesterday via Teams. She seems very positive, upbeat, and flexible. At one point she even stated, if you need to take care of something everyday from 1-3p, that's okay. It's all okay. Wow, right?!
- I wrote a 2-3 paragraph bio for when I start. I wanted to showcase my experience but also added some personal details about where I was from. Usual stuff that I typically never share or offer in conversation.
- I finally bought some more stuff for the house. I bought a robovac! I haven't purchased a security cam yet since my move date is still TBD. I finally bought air filters. I am hopeful that I can use one of my chairs to reach the HVAC vents. These little jumping bugs (chiggers?) keep crawling in through the backdoor. I see them doing it. So I attempted to purchase some door sweeps and a weatherizing strip for the back door. However when I looked at the backdoor to see where I could apply them, I can see a weather strip already there, so I'm not sure what good what I bought is going to do. Let me tell you it was a feat trying to get it all in one order. Basically the only Walmart that had all the items I was shopping for was 12 miles away, and I had no desire to drive that far. At least not yesterday. So I did 2 orders - 1 to ship, 1 to pick up 5 miles away. I'll be passing 2 other Walmarts on the way. Womp, womp.
- I'm about tired of running errands. This upcoming week might be a relaxing week. I have to transition from old job to new job.
- It's already sweltering in NC in the morning. I have to get a fan. Notably, my energy usage went down from last month.
- I'm going into New Job with the mental note that I'll probably still be in NC for Jun, July, and Aug.
- I really want to get a new couch. The futon downstairs hurts all my body parts.
- I hope to establish a new sleep and stretch routine to go along with New Job. New starts are usually a catalyst for new good behaviors for me.
- Still not planning on telling anyone about New Job for 3 months (a typical probation period), especially one of my colleagues. That feels like the biggest secret because she referred me! Twist, right?!
- I mentioned earlier this week that I finished the Spend Requirements for the 3 credit cards. Phew, what a mental burden lifted!
- Oh! I followed one of my Rules of Engagement. One of my colleagues wanted to schedule a Check-In to after my Designated Times, and I almost fell for it just to get it out of the way. But nope, I stuck to the designated time and rescheduled our chat.
- Peer 2 also sent a check-in email that I immediately wanted to respond to and have successfully resisted the urge. These are just 2 little steps of empowerment that warrant recognition.
- On the bank bonus front, I still have 2 applications pending for a potential combined reward of about $1k.
That's all for now!
