It Was a Weirdly Good Week

#1. I’m probably not going to go to jail because of confusion with my insurance based on my varying income. #2. On the day that my two week notice to quit was given to the client, I heard from a previous client I worked for for the better part of 2 years. It has been over 2 years since I’ve worked for them. These people were my favorites. Just all around good people in every way possible. This means so much to me right now.

I have regular work with 2 others but I definitely needed more in order to feel okay financially. And completely out of the blue, they reached out to me at the most perfect time. The pay will be a little less than what my newest person paid but there are many reasons that make me okay with that.

I feel like I can exhale for now. I am still working on figuring out a path for more of a long-term career change, but at least I have my bases covered for now.The difference in these two clients is the most opposite as you could get. Night and day.

Full Moon

Speaking of days and nights, there was a full moon last night. I believe that contributed to my insomnia. I’ve definitely had insomnia more than usual the past couple of months. I assumed it was from taking less of some of my nighttime medications, but now that I’m writing this out I’m realizing it is likely because of this new job. A combination of the two, I’m sure.

People tend to not sleep that well during a full moon because the light disrupts our sleep. When everyone’s sleep is disrupted even a little bit that makes the world around you seem a little…¡loco! This is where the word Lunatic comes from. One of my favorite fun facts 🤓

My work week was much less busy than usual this week and it was glorious to get caught up on things and come back to my center again. It felt weird at times, when my days have been incredibly structured and planned out to suddenly have a bunch of free time. It was mostly good, let me tell you.

With the newer client (that I am quitting) she was out of town a lot last week so I interacted with her less than usual. That made me question my decision to quit even more because I am really good at forgetting how unpleasant someone is. I basically give people a clean slate each day… The little bit I did interact with her reiterated my correct decision to quit that job.

Difficult Does Not Mean “Wrong”

I reminded myself that even if deciding on something feels difficult, even if I will sincerely miss some people, and even if I was making hella money, it can still be the correct decision. I felt so torn up about the job lately like really struggling with deciding… and that struggle is okay. Feelings are feelings, they are not truth, they are not me, they do not accurately represent my life as a whole. Something can feel like the worst thing in the world but later become, or later you look back with a different perspective and see that it was the best thing in the world. Hopefully I’m making some sort of sense, I am going on very little sleep! 😴 That’s all for now I need to start winding down to get caught up on sleep and be ready for pickleball tomorrow morning 🏓

Urgent Care

Oh, I just remembered that I went to Urgent Care the other day because I had a huge lump on my throat. I noticed it that morning but didn’t think much of it, but in the afternoon I looked again and it got bigger so I was a little worried. I’ve never had a lymph node swell up like that before. They did some tests and believe it’s just a lymph node. I do not have any symptoms of an illness, let’s hope it stays that way!
