Enjoying My New Normal

-

It feels like I am on vacation, but cannot go anywhere because a lot of stuff is still closed.  

How am I handling everything? Actually, I am really calm.  I really thought I would be in such panic for not having a job, but I think knowing I am moving soon, has made this transition easier.  I just left a few days earlier than I planned. 

Since I no longer have to worry about awful things that are going to be said to me, I have removed that stress from my life.

I am trying to keep a normal routine for going to bed and getting up in the morning. This is pretty easy to do because Millie doesn't let me sleep in. :)

I have been getting more exercise, now that I am no longer chained to my desk and it feels amazing.  I didn't realize how much I hated not being able to move around during the day.  This was the first job where I couldn't get up and walk to the breakroom to get some water or go to the bathroom.  Having a little freedom back is wonderful. Mille and I have been exploring parks in the area because Wile E. Coyote is still hanging around our home.  Why is he hanging around our homes? Honestly, I think it's because my neighbor likes to put our food for the squirrels and Wile comes to eat it. Why don't I tell him to stop? The man has a PhD he should know better and I am not telling him. 

I am eating better than I am home all day because I don't feel rushed when I eat and I am not attempting to eat junk food.

I am also finding time for my writing and art projects.

Will all of these great changes last?  I don't know. Remember I am in the honeymoon phase and things could change over time. I hope that I am able to remain positive as the changes occur.

My dog is my new boss

Today, I walked out and quit my job. Huh? Am I serious? Yep, absolutely. Normally, I would tell someone don't ever do this, but sometimes a person has to do what is best for them.  Here is what happened: 7:50 a.m. Arrived at work. 7:50 a.m. to 7:55 a.m. Placed my lunch in the breakroom fridge, filled up my water bottle, and logged into my computer. Once I logged into my computer and saw the email, I decided to make today my last day. Why? Was it really that bad? My ex boss (I love how that sounds.) was demanding a meeting with me to go over my soft skills and discuss my future goals with the company.  This meeting was unnecessary, I had turned in my notice and my last day was to be on the 29th of May.  I couldn't get out of the meeting. It was mandatory.  Would the meeting really have been that bad?  Well, if it had been like past meetings, yes.  Historically, she doesn't have a positive thing to say, she puts me down, do...

If you have a Dyson Animal 3 listen up.

The recline feature suddenly stops working. About a year ago, I decided to splurge on a good vacuum because I was tired of replacing the vacuum every few years. Well, I vacuumed, shut it off and tried to use it the next day and wouldn’t recline. After trying some of the tips online, I gave up and called Dyson. After an hour wait, the guy told me that this model had a defect. So, if I send it back, they will send me a replacement. So, now I am waiting for a replacement. I am also wondering why they don’t recall it.

Why don't I share my political views on social media?

-
 I don't share my political views because it usually leads to disagreement amongst people and frankly, I don't feel like arguing with anyone. Also, I have to be careful about my conduct on a social media platform because of my job. I must protect my source of income and my future. I will always speak out against violence against women and violence prevention because those are my areas of research.
