Day(s) recap: opportunity with Luci Creative

I feel like I'm going to jinx myself by saying anything, but after finding some daily doodles in my brown notebook yesterday, I feel like I should go back to daily journal summaries. I'm missing so much by not blogging, but they take so much time or I just don't think to do it.

So here's a short summary of today and yesterday: I found an opportunity at Luci for Project Manager. Despite having accepted a job in Tacoma, WA, I didn't want to pass it up. So I reached out to AJ, the CEO, and she set me up with their Operations Manager, whom I met at the mixer and really liked. She informally spoke with me this morning and really liked me and my experience and set up an in-person interview for me next Tuesday. Nothing is promised or in the bag, but I'm proud of myself for doing my first ever network-based job inquiry and getting somewhere with it. I'm also proud of having gotten past the second step, even if I don't get past the third. I mean, I really really want to get this job, but I'll be proud of myself no matter what.

Tomorrow I go to the children's museum in Sheboygan with Charlotte and I'm looking forward to it.

First January in Orlando

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. For some reason, Blogger (a totally dead platform at this point) gives me “Let’s Go Ride a Bike” vibes - in a good way. Which, by the way, I just Googled and they haven’t touched their blog since 2015. What a shame. I really miss the days of blogs. Most of my writing has been done in a physical notebook, which in many ways I prefer; but in others, it doesn’t quite quench the thirst. One of the things I love about digital journaling is being able to add images and photos (like the one below). While physical journaling feels more intimate and perhaps, authentic in some ways, digital journaling feels more like a creating a story. Two different methods for two different outcomes. So why the photo of a plant? Well, first, this is a Monstera plant. I’ve loved it’s lines and the holes in its leaves for years, but I never learned its name because it’s not a native plant to Wisconsin. They are to Florida, however, and are super easy to fin...

Cross Training Shoes

I bought my first pair of cross training shoes last week: They're both my first pair of Nike's and first cross trainers. And they are possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. It's a shame I can't use them outdoors because they're so much more comfortable than anything else I own. I bought them after seeing Naz, my krav maga instructor, wearing them, as well as a few other krav/boxing students. I figured if I was going to keep doing combat sports, I should probably get a pair; and frankly, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I freaking love them.

Long Key Vacation

A big weight off my chest. My breath is finally coming easily. 5 days into our vacation and I finally sit with relief. There aren’t many left, but 2 is better than none. This is how I felt when I was in the car on the way down, right before I called my auto insurance and accidentally spiked it $400 by asking a question. It triggered a weeklong series of car problems, ranging from budget planning (and budget panicking) to registration renewal confusion and DMV website issues. And at the end of the day, most of it was a non-issue, so I felt like I expended all this time and energy on nothing, detracting from what I could have given to my trip. But… I learned a lot in the process. I’m more prepared than I was before, although I wish it hadn’t all happened when I was on vacation. I don’t know what it’s like to not have a stressful vacation, and I don’t know that I ever will. I need to figure out how to still be happy despite chronic unexpected frustrations. This might be time to talk ...
