It’s Monday and I did not hear my alarm clock. I got up at just nine in the morning and I ran to the laptop. Once I see that everything is well on my end I get up and make myself my morning coffee. In the morning all is running smoothly and I am very happy that it is so. In the afternoon someone inquires about the car-seat I have for sale in the facebook marketplace. They are interested and will pick it up today. I’m always very happy when someone picks up the items I have for sale. I don’t want them to go to the dumpster as they have so much life left in them. I’m glad it is going to a good home. The person is also taking a large bag filled with clothes that my little one has outgrown. I’d rather do that as I’m not sure I like the donation process. The items go back to a store where people can purchase them back at a lower price and then that money that is collected goes to the charity. But al the while, someone has got to pay the employees, rent, electric and so many other things. How much actually goes back to those in need. I’d like for someone to explain this to me in further detail before I donate again. I’m skeptical about it.
The afternoon also went by smoothly. There are a slew of projects that I am now part of and I am excited about them. They are brand new and I can start right from the beginning. One of them is starting right from scratch. No trying to figure out any messes that are were there in the past. Surprisingly I am very excited about this one.
It’s Tuesday and I have been up since four this morning. I woke up with my husband’s alarm and I helped him wake up and then I couldn’t go back to sleep so I got up and out of bed too. I made myself my morning coffee and wondered around the house for a bit. He got ready for work and I helped a little bit. Once he left I get back to bed but couldn’t sleep so I’m watching Bridgerton on Netflix. I want to see what the hype is all about. I’ve got to say that I enjoy it. I love period pieces with their lavish dress and beautiful furniture. I truly enjoy the furniture most of all. Don’t know why but all of those intricate details on furniture just tickle my fancy :). I watched a few episodes and am in love with the main characters. They give me all of the feels. The show reminds me of Gossip Girl, but in the 1800’s. Yes the teenager in me is watching this show. Once my alarm goes off at eight thirty, I turn off the show and get ready for my work day. I have plenty of time to go through my morning beauty routine. I get dressed, make the bed have some more breakfast. Then I get moody. I am on social media and all I see makes me want to tell some people to just shut the f!*k up. There are posts about subject from people who have no business speaking of them such as politics or religion. There are others with words of wisdom, which should be a good thing, but I am no mood for people’s opinions today. I’ve probably been awake for too long and shouldn’t be dealing with anyone. I need to tell my brain to take it easy today. Ok brain, everyone’s opinion matters including yours. I have to remember that everyone is entitled to their own thing even if it includes things that no one cares about…easy Isabel, let it go.
In the evening I started to take down some of the Christmas decorations from the kitchen and living room. My husband was watching something that I didn’t want to bother with on TV. My little one was busy with her toy and I was bored. So I started to wash things and put things away in their rightful boxes. My little one noticed what I was doing and she got sad that I was putting all of the pretty Christmas things way. She decided that it was time for me to stop doing that and to play with her instead. So, we got out all of her LOL dolls and we played for a little while. Shortly after it was bedtime. I also went to bed but I stayed up for a while as I could not fall asleep. I finished watching Bridgeton. If anyone has seen it let’s discuss. I didn’t particularly like the ending. It’s as if season 2 will not be coming and that makes me a little upset since I really like the series. I still couldn’t sleep so I searched and searched Netflix and I eventually landed on Ozark season 3. I love Jason Bateman. He is the director and the show is fast paced and it is so good. Eventually I fall asleep with it on.
It’s Wednesday and I should not have watched so much Netflix. I got up way after the alarm clock and got to work with my pjs on. I’ve been working on myself and getting to my work home office early so I can get started right on time and get everything done by the five o’clock bell. Not today! Today I had pillow marks on my face when I got started lol. I took a small break and got my coffee going and then got a message from a colleague to see if I could be part of a meeting they had set up. I of course agreed. I then had to get “dressed” for work. So I got rid of my pjs and put on real clothes with an addition of pretty jewelry so I would look presentable for this meeting. Good thing too because we were actually on camera as I met some new people that I will be working with in the future. The meeting went smoothly and I will be receiving more work to do in the future. This is ok. We call it job security! The more work I have the more secure my job is. And that, for sure, is a good thing. There are a lot of people out there without a job and I am thankful that I still have mine. In the evening I am watching the unraveling of the news. The white house has been breached. It is crazy out there. Stay safe everyone.
It’s already Thursday and the day is flying by. I got up at the same darn time as yesterday. Way after the alarm and right on time for work. I wanted to get up early this morning to get a good start, but I just can’t roll out of bed early enough. At work I have much to do. I have some leftover work from yesterday and today I am learning a new application. During one of my many meetings my head was spinning as I had to pee so bad and I had forgotten that I have meetings back to back. Oh brother, this meeting couldn’t go and end fast enough. Half the time during this thing, I tuned out. I’m glad it was recorded so I can go back to it and re-listen. I drink way too much, coffee and water that is. I have to take a break almost every hour. I aint’ got no time for that. I have meetings and emails to respond to. It’s a good thing I no longer have two hour meetings. Those were brutal.
It’s Friday and I’ve gotten work messages way before nine in the morning. I hear the ‘ping’ on my laptop as my alarm was going off. People are eager to work today.
Midmorning I have a meeting with my little one’s school to see how her future at school is going to be. The meeting went perfectly well. My little one is doing great in school. Thanks to Grandma who is continuously pushing her to do better and better in school. And of course, daddy. He stays up with her and does homework with her until nine at night most days. She has matured very much and I am a very proud mama.
After that meeting, I have another meeting; with my boss this time. Today I am very happy since getting the good news about my little one. I am in a very good mood and my conversation shows as much. All is going well today. Overall the week has gone well. I’m very surprised there weren’t any hiccups. I know, boring!
Until next time.
Stay Safe!
Best,
Isabel
