To tell you about today

As a general rule I don’t like Tuesdays. They are such a nothing day. Today was no exception.

I fell asleep before getting ready for bed last night. You know those times when you know you should get ready because you can feel yourself drifting off but CBA to move. Then the next thing you know your 3 episodes ahead and waking up with the light on.

So today didn’t start great.

The fogginess was real. I struggled to concentrate on my full monotonous work, with my mind all over the place.

Then it all seemed to change at lunch. I had a positive conversation with a recruiter who gave me some great tips and didn’t bat an eye when I told him what I was after.

It’s amazing what one conversation can do for you!

There is hope for me yet!

I finished the day with a wander after work managing to dodge the rain.

Quick dinner and back to finding that job I know is out there.

Then a nice relaxing bath with a meditation 🧘🏼

So the lesson here: just because your day started crappy doesn’t mean it has to stay that way!
