to getting better mentally as well
@ShinobuTengen22 Through reading your answers, I decided that you're my kinda person. Lol. Have you ever been soooo cold but are balled up in your blanket and staying still so you don't lose your wariness? But then you are too lazy to just get up out of bed to turn the fan off and turn the heater higher? Well that's me.🤣 And I absolutely love love love 🍝 spaghetti too. Sooooo yummy! Gotta have parmesan on top though and add some tabasco. And can't forget the cheesy garlic texas toast. Mmmmm. Omg, ok, now I think I may just need to make 🍝 for dinner later. Lol.
Anyway, on a serious note: I am so proud of you for going on your interview and I hope it went well. I wish you continued success on job searching and hope you land a good job. You seem awesome and any employer would be lucky to have you. Best of luck! ♡

Hmm, I'm going to not take notice of the judgements, and wear earbuds to calm sensory when I go out later.
My body seems to be rejecting food at the moment. I ate lunch time today though. I've been trying to keep my fluids up!
In May, I don't look forward to exams ):

You are amazing and blessed and I'm glad you don't take for granted the things you have. I really wish the best for you and hope you are happy. ♡ Hope you accomplish everything you desire. Hugs!
@YourCaringConfidant - Aw thank you! I needed that hug and encouragement! It's a sickly day today but I am hoping to be back in my feet by the end of the week. Hugs back!
1. What are you grateful for right now?
Ran into a colleague at the coffee shop in the lobby of our building and we sat and drank our coffees together for fifteen or so minutes -- it felt so civilized after the chaos of this month at work.
2. What's something you can do today that would be good for you?
I have two reports I brought home last week that I really would like to have read before I get to work tomorrow
3. What was your last full meal, and have you been drinking enough water?
My husband made us fruit and vegetable smoothies when we got back from work, and there is chili simmering in the kitchen now. Luckily water is an easy one for me!
4. What's something I accomplished this week?
Since it's only Monday I'll count the weekend. I am working on a few big projects at work and this weekend I finished the draft for 1/3 of one of them! Sounds small but it is a substantial progression.
5. What do you look forward to accomplishing?
This week, I am hoping that I will start to come over the hill on feeling so terribly about my abilities. There is a direction I would like to go at work, but I am underqualified because of the kind of degrees I have. I hope over this week I start to feel like it might be possible to do what I want, instead of just necessary to stay in my own field for financial reasons for my family.
6. What do you look forward to in May?
I love May Day. Here the children all wear flowers in their hair.
@nordurnStar I think you are beyond capable of anything you put your mind to and anything you put the work into. Look at you!!! 1/3 progress ✔️, wow! What great progress and I'm so proud of you. You can accomplish anything and I hope you know that you are more than capable of ranking up. You sound amazing and bright and I wish you continue success in the work you do. Keep on being the rockstar you are! ♡♡♡
1. Right now I am grateful for my health, my home & my supporting partner ❤️
2. Something I can do today that would be good for me is to exercise & practice being mindful (I've been struggling lately to stay present & rather I've been getting caught up in my own thoughts).
3. My last full meal was Japanese curry for dinner last night 😋. I'm constantly drinking water, however, it would probably benefit me to make sure I'm drinking a certain amount per hour! I live in a hot tropical climate so it's easy to get dehydrated!
4. I accomplished creating a new calendar with daily time blocked items to make sure I stay on top of tasks & make progress. (& I followed it so far, yay!)
5. I'm looking forward to a 5 day beach trip to Vietnam with my boyfriend!
@amberishereforyou Health, shelter, a supporting partner, etc... you sure are blessed! Oohhh how exciting it would be going on that trip to Vietnam. When y'all go, I'm definitely wishing you safe travels, happiness, and loads of fun! ♡ Keep anticipating it and time will be here before you know it. In the meantime, keep on focusing on your present life and work and grow on the things you would like to improve. I want you to do well and I want you to know you're awesome and I'm proud of you. 👏 ❤️
@YourCaringConfidant Thank you so much! 🥰
1. What are you grateful for?
I'm grateful for my newest friends. They're actually my Caretaker friends who are helping me be authentic lyrics myself by helping me with my independence and day to day life
2 I got a long restful nap early today after a eventful few days full of activities much needed rest to recharge
3. Yes I am drinking plenty of water!!! Yep yep!!

1. What are you grateful for right now?
We are finally getting rain in my part of the state! We have been under a very intense drought for a while.
2. What's something you can do today that would be good for you?
Making sure I take care of my basic needs and also not slouching.
4. What's something I accomplished this week? Or what do you look forward to accomplishing?
Well it is only Tuesday, but I was able to get important stuff installed at work yesterday even though it kept not working for me at first.
I look forward to finding a good place to hike or take long walks around here. The small town I am currently located in doesn't have a lot in terms of walking spaces unless I want to walk near the streets. Very disappointed :(
5. What do you look forward to in May?
There is an anime convention coming up that I am going to during Memorial Day weekend. I'm so excited! It'd always been a lot of fun.
@cafedaydreams Yayyyy for the 🌧 💧! How refreshing that must be. I'm so glad that you were able to get some work done at work. And I hope when it is time for you to go to the convention that you have an absolute blast! ♡ Thanks for checking in and I hope the rest of your week goes well. :)
