Being Listened To and Believed
How do you manage stress? Apparently I didn’t check the prompt for today like I thought I did. I can talk a blue streak about how I’ve handled stress in the past. I haven’t been stressed in a good long time, but if I was, I’d probably still manage it the same way. By watching… →

Some Good Reminders
Screenshot Saturday This week’s screenshot came up in my memories on Thursday. I had saved it three years ago. If memory serves, three years ago, I was beginning to come to the end of my first year of grad school. While my second year, the internship year, was the worst, the first year was certainly… →

Crushing It
Screenshot Saturday Saturdays are now for sharing screenshots I have taken and saved for a variety of reasons. Today it is not of a motivational quote, but it was inspirational in its own way. This is a comment someone made in reply to a post I made in my yarn swap group on Ravelry. This… →

Things That Really Matter
Flashback Friday I’m late posting today. It was a boring, but productive day at work. Not many people in the office, so I kept my air pods in most of the day and listened to my “random awesomeness” playlist. Let me just say, it was an eclectic mix of music that kept me motivated today.… →

Maybe Not Yet
Talk About it Tuesday There’s so much to talk about and that’s just from today alone. The shorthand version is: I found out some additional things at work related to me and my job. I was gobsmacked. Almost shaking on the inside. I wrote an email that called out the things that were making me… →

“It’s Time To Go“
Movie/music Monday Not a good day today. I’m concerned about the way I feel. Various doctors appointments scheduled this week to try and figure it out. Various applications submitted so that I can get hired somewhere else and eliminate my current job as a contributing factor to how I feel. In the meantime Taylor Swift’s… →

Flashing Back to Lessons Learned
I was tempted to not write a post today. I’ve reached a year with posting every day, certainly I can skip a day. Right? For my lunch break, I sat in the backyard with my dogs and looked at job offerings on Indeed. The desire to quit my job was reintensified when I returned to… →
