Happy Tuesday Yousday my dude!
My family celebrates this thing called “Tuesday yousday” where you have to go and try to do something special for yourself. This really helps me get out of my slump sometimes. Well, I woke up this morning and I quickly got out of bed and got dressed. I made my coffee and went to the bathroom to get ready. I brushed and brushed my hair. Then I put a little bit of oil in my hair in order to help the static of it. I put it in a half-up down hairdo. I put on some eyeliner and kept it minimal. I still had those pearl earrings which I now understand was a HUGE mistake.
After feeling accomplished with my hair, and makeup, and taking all my vitamins, I made coffee and oatmeal for lunch. While those were getting made, I made sure my house was picked up, blankets were put away, additional trash on the ground was thrown out, etc. After looking around, I felt ready to go to work.
Again, I get to work around 6 am every morning but I don't actually need to be there until 8. Knowing that I give myself enough time to sleep in or accounted for traffic really helps me move along my day. It gives me peace knowing that I can do something a little more wild than my usual schedule and still make it to work at the same time. Anyways, I get to work and I read for about an hour and a half.
Work today was slow which gave me plenty of opportunities to write some things on my mind. This is great because I am feeling more confident about my blogging skills and website. I sent my website to 2 people to see if they liked it. So that's something I think. Plus writing just really calms my nerves. I would love to just sit on a mountain or on the beach or in a cave to write down thoughts and feelings. That would be cool.
I got back home and I was craving something really sweet. I clearly didn't drink enough water during the day so my cravings were really strong. When I normally want something sweet, I stop at Mcdonald's and get some french fries and maybe a Mcflurry. I know, I said sweet but I know that my body really wants something salty. Just get over it. So when I got home and I wasn't really feeling all that hungry but wanted something sweet, so I decided to make something new: homemade french fries.
This was really interesting to do. I didn't follow a recipe and I've never made these before. I'm sure that I used WAYYYY too much salt. I was trying to make it extra salty. It wasn't very hard to make, it just took a long time because I decided that I wanted to use like 5 potatoes in the smallest pan ever. I just felt like I spent an hour or two on my feet but it did help me get more tired and ready to sleep. While I was cooking, I was eating some chocolate to tide me over. But it was nice to enjoy that.
Then I drank my tea and watched some new girl relax while eating my fries. Then I took a shower and did a face mask. I'm learning that my time is valuable. And what I chose to spend my time on changed my perspective on my life. I don't feel bad about my body as much right now because I'm choosing to focus on things I enjoy doing, like reading, writing, cooking, and cleaning. I'm looking at the world with Google of newfound likeness regarding myself and the world around me.
I feel like I'm not as focused on work, not spending every single minute when I'm not working stressing about work. It feels like there's a new balance between my work life and my home life that has been achieved simply because it brings forth more personal goals, even as small as keeping dishes out of my sink or drinking 2 cups of tea a night. That balance has been lacking balance work and life has been restored and though it's not a completely 50/50 work-life balance, it is helping to focus on those small things.
