Lots to celebrate

It's Monday and today I'm waiting for a DHL shipment, working on my virtual work and editing. I also need to figure out a Valentine's blog post or video... hmm. Speaking of video, I haven't edited my previously filmed videos yet, I should really get to that, but a few things happened and I'm pretty burnt out!

Last Friday I started a temp PT gig at my old workplace... I will be working on some website stuff for them for the next few days... until I start my brand new job!

The past two months of networking, commenting on and sharing LinkedIn posts, as well as just letting people know that I'm looking for work, and being passionate about what I do/want to do, really, really paid off.

I had only applied to a few positions and got an interview with a fantastic company, did really well on the interview, and signed the offer just last week. And it's remote work too! How awesome is that?

I also got more client work and had the virtual company reach out to me to ask if I would consider working FT for them in their office. In addition, my mortgage broker reached out to me and asked if I would be available to work for them FT too...

There's surprisingly a lot of opportunities out there!

I'm very happy that my hard work these past few months has paid off. I've never done anything like this before, because I was inexperienced and didn't know how to use the tools/let people know what I'm searching for. But wow, it really helps!

The weekend recap:

Friday - Worked at my old job for half the day, worked a bit on my virtual stuff and then went out to our friends' place for a belated birthday dinner for the boif. I was pretty exhausted.

Saturday - We had a very chill day and went to meet a friend to chat over some hot drinks and to catch up. Afterwards, we volunteered for the evening and I was pretty tired the next day.

Sunday - I felt like a zombie! Since this was one of the first hardcore weekends in a while, my body was not prepared and was so sluggish. We took it very easy and relaxed at home in the day and filmed at night.

Today I'm glad that I'm working at home today... and also taking time to recharge. I found that I get burnt out pretty easily if I don't do something for a longer period of time. Which is why I really need to get a better schedule going on in the next few weeks.

I also need to go to the gym more often. Have been slacking a lot!

My sleep pattern has been much better recently, but I do find it takes me a long time to fall asleep still... I'm going to have to adjust my night routine soon to fix this, that probably adds to why I find myself really exhausted!
