What I’m talking about:
I haven’t been talking about much because I’m in my stress cocoon. I resigned from my full-time job (my last day was a week ago) and I’ve been trying to get a grasp on my new freelance schedule this week. I have too much on my plate so I’ll have to figure out how to adjust. It’s a good problem to have, but my brain is fried.
Interesting things I’ve learned this week:
I have absorbed nothing this week. It’s sad.
Weirdest thing I googled this week:
I had no time for googling. This is a very boring post, sorry.
What I’m grateful for:
My husband and his patience with my slightly-unhinged state. Also, my pets, who lower my blood pressure on a daily basis.
That is one wise looking cat.
So wise. I’m convinced he holds the secrets to the universe.
