delivered bad news to clients today that I have been dreading for weeks and I realized only this week that the dread has been holding me down in a fog & limiting my progress.
And you know what? The calls went really, really well. There was no pushback at all. I realized I have significantly underestimated how my clients value me personally: the work I’ve done to be present and to serve them as effectively as possible means they took the news in stride.
So today I learned that I created a narrative of dread in my head that was entirely fantasy, and when I got myself down to earth & lived life here in the real world, I felt better about myself, and I moved forward.
That felt really good.
I also left some work undone today, at work. (That’s a win for me; it’s unfamiliar to leave things undone.) I came home and enjoyed butter chicken over egg noodles with asparagus - three foods I never thought to combine until I married my wife; we come from different continents so the standards of what goes with what are very flexible - and then got into the show Superstore on Netflix.
Now lying in bed after a hot bath feeling incomplete but ok with being incomplete.
Lots of love to everyone & I hope you have a peaceful weekend.
Happy friday! I don’t say it often but: TGIF! Today is almost over, I will get a nice massage in an hour, and then let the f*$#@g world behind, close the door, crawl to bed and share a good book with the cats: I read, them purr and cuddle. Hopefully my husband just leaves me alone, otherwise it could end bad, I’m really fed up with his behaviour and have a lot of books to throw either after him or cats goofing up the house. And I will get me a huuuuge hot chocolate on the way home
I’m not working at the moment but Fridays still feel like the start of the weekend for me… Even though it doesn’t make that much difference!
My bf is working though and he’s a teacher, and next week is half term so today is the start of his break. We’re going to have a pizza and film night tonight, film to be decided.
5 today. It was kind of a bummer of a day though. Super cold and not much to do. He didn’t want to go skating so we lounged around all day. Donuts for breakfast and pizza by request
