Well hello, everyone!
I'm back, rested, and still feeling a bit off, but ok. I have my health, I have my mind, so I'm ready to get it goin.
Today one of my brands I'm representing called and it just reminded me that I'm accountable to other people. Even though I work for myself so I can set how I do it, I do care...

Ok, here's the deal-
Monday morning, I walked into the office right one time, and my boss smiles and tells me not to take my coat off, we're going out for coffee. Ok. I thought she was going to scold me for something silly and I'd just have to take it, but oh well. So, as soon as we get coffee, we sit down and...

My theme for the past weekend is/was: celebration! After my last post, which was wrote post-birthday party celebration for a friend (open bar!) I also toasted to a friend's one year anniversary in NYC, a new baby of another friend, and being able to sit outside sans jacket and just be happy.

Yeah, but it is still a bit hard to try and pick yourself up and move on with your life past 30. not to mention to move away from the life you were building because of losing yoru job etc....

Mmmm Iced Mocha Coffee sounds delicious, even though it's pretty cold here...
All right, admittedly, I am a bit tipsy, but goooood stuff coming from this.
Tonight was a RELEASE! Release from over-thinking and living in my head and worrying and planning and working. It was just good ol' times with good person + friends + new friends. And ol' school jams making us all friendly. And dancing! It was a lot of smiles and laughter, and...

After a couple good sessions (surfing) on monday and tuesday I'm feeling great. Thanks. Has your week going??
glitch:
thanks!
I'm not fond of ranting on my blogs and I hate to put negative energy out there, but I feel I need to get this out of my system.
I mentioned on here before that I'm leaving my job, still working here until the end of the year, but in transition mode. It's less than ideal, but that's ok. And there are trying moments, but...

Well, it IS EXCITING! This is just the beginning of a HUGE FUTURE!
You are all welcome for this in advance. 
My favorite part is the pushups, followed by situps.
Oh, the 80s.

If I walked in on my fella working out to that...I'd think things...skeptical things...
LOVE IT.

misterclean:
that is amazing!!!! 
So, I'm leaving my job in just over a month. My boss knows, in fact, she is the one who turned down my proposal to continue my role in the company but more efficiently and focused. We agreed I stay on until before the holidays. And now, it's weird.
I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this. But it's truly sad that my boss...

Dont me to barge in, but I sort of went through the same thing before I got laid off from my job, except I didnt get any warning whatsoever by my employer.
If it starts to get unbearable I would say try and talk to her. Many times relationships of all kinds fail or become antagonistic due to a breakdown in communication.
If she doesnt want to talk to you I would talk with the HR department and explain to them whats going on and see if they can sit down with both of you and mediate while you talk things through.
If thats seems like too much trouble you can always just keep your head down as best as you can and grind away till you leave, lol.
Agian, sorry to just barge in with this unsolicited advice. Have fun in Barcelona.

@Sallen- thank you!
It's a small company, so I'm actually HR.
Today was better, not as extreme, so I'm hoping me continuing to be nice and all helps and she comes around. You're right, if it doesn't get better, just grind away! And keep Barcelona in mind to get me through.
Thanks for your advice.

For once in the recent past weeks I am up and not dragging and have energy enough to write run on sentences like this one!
And yet, I am procrastinating. Not intentionally, or, at least it didn't start out that way. Admittedly, me writing this is a procrastination, ha. But I swear, prior to this I was actually doing stuff, a couple minutes behind my...

thanks love!!
thanks love!!So, in relation to last night, but client who I never met up with and instead waited around for texted and explained their phone was dead last night. I responded "No worries. Have a safe drive." I really meant it. And they responded with an apology.
I was pretty touched by that. Yes, I wanted them to understand that it was annoying and I could've...

Cheers to making peace with something. Such a wonderful feeling and is something I need to be more conscious of doing myself.
seth_:
Definitely cheers! And I didn't even think of it as making peace. . . thanks for adding that to my consciousness.
And yes I do have a lot to be thankful for!
