Today was such a good day.
I thought that I made good decisions in my conversations with my shift leaders today, and I really felt like my time spent with Jason was spent wisely. He really is a great kid and I’m grateful for his willingness to learn.
I managed to knock out all three things on my list for the day. My meeting with Eric was fantastic. Things must be going well from his perspective, because my slow takeover of everything is turning into a less slow process. The one-on-one time to gain understanding of his thought processes and learning some simple basics was so beneficial for me. Our meeting was supposed to be an hour, and it almost went an hour and a half. And then it really felt like he didn’t want to stop talking to me, so I definitely take that as a win. Today I think I fully realized that I have accepted our new relationship as the right one. He’s a great leader and I am grateful to have him as my mentor at this stage in my career. I feel like I’m being set up for success and that he has confidence in me.I do not want to let him down.
After work (and some great conversations with the team) I remembered to pick up dinner and was actually able to eat before going to church. Worship was great, and Lizzie clearly needed some time with me because she would not let me out of her sight tonight. It was weird being at church on a Wednesday night and not feeling utterly exhausted. I’m not completely adjusted to this schedule yet, but I’m definitely feeling less out of sorts than last week.
Tonight I was able to listen to the first day of the mindset Reboot with Jon. Sigh. The GYE is going to cost something and I’m just not sure how much more $$ I can divert to Acuff ideas. The mindset reboot was good, and I’ll tune in tomorrow, but I’m glad I didn’t spring for the VIP this time. I just don’t have time.
As a bonus for today, I tried on my Stitch Fix pieces. Oh. My. Gosh. I love them. I have to decide tomorrow how much I love them, because they are not cheap.
Tomorrow I HAVE to do some school work. Hopefully I can wake 8-ish and get some things done. Then I get to go watch Eli play soccer, and that will be fun to get to see!
Hey- that’s four days in a row for the journal now! Not bad. I would love to remember to take the time to do some editing of the space and make it look more attractive. Also, I would love to actually figure out what my long term plan is for daily writing practice beyond these beginning notes. I need to be able to let people in.
