How It’s Going

Last night on our way to dinner, I told Vince, “Do you know how good it feels to come home and not feel completely stressed?” I explained how just 3 months ago, every day I felt I had to come home and down a beer just to calm the nerves. Every single day I would come home and greet my husband with, “These f*ckin’ people!” Damn.

Yesterday it hit me, I don’t have that anymore. I came home and I just felt good. Honestly, I had a busy day doing headshots and setting up social media, and I was tired, but I did’t feel stressed. Even Vince has pointed out my attitude and mental health are in a much better state. He’s totally right.

Today, my team is working from home. My boss makes it a thing to not fall into the monotony of just sitting at a desk all the time. She’s not afraid to take mid-afternoon Sonic breaks or do morning-long creative sessions at Starbucks. I love that!

So, how’s it going for me? So far, so good! The job is crazy busy. I’ve never worked in this kind of sector before and everything is new to me. Hell, I didn’t even know this kind of sector existed! But, I’m learning so much. My eyes have opened up to so many new things. Best of all, I’m doing the kind of work I’m good at!

I’m really proud of myself to taking an insane leap. Taking care of my little familia is always top priority, but I’m finally at a point in my life where I can do little things for me. So I’m going with it!
