Recharging

Another week has gone by super quickly!!

The beginning of the week I spent it working on my virtual work and at my old work place. I was pretty burnt out from the last weekend, and so I worked through the week doing my old work place stuff, but barely had the energy to work on my virtual work. As a result I had to make up for the work I couldn't do by working on the weekend, which is all good, I didn't have much to do this weekend haha.

During the make up, I realized there are some tasks that I'd prefer not to do, and would rather give them to someone else who loves doing this work, or who is interested in getting experience with this. I've learned that although you can't always be picky on the work you want to do, sometimes you have to weigh the pros and cons of the work and make a decision based on that. I turned down a potential client work because I had taken on another client, and now I kind of wish I took the other one because it's more in line with my experience and what I want to do. I've definitely learned from this experience and I think the company is looking into getting a replacement person to help me out.

Thursday - I went to my family's for dinner and to celebrate LNY a bit earlier. Also went groccery shopping.

Friday - I worked at my old work place and did some virtual work and just chillaxed.

Saturday - Had a girls day out: went shopping and bought some makeup (eyeliner, foundation that was only $7, some bath balls, new sweat pants and a plaid shirt along with some soap bars to stock up!) and also bought some pastries from this Korean bakery called Wow Bakery. It definitely was WOW, and reminded me of the bakeries in Japan. I took a bit of this veggie pastry I bought and omfg it was DELICIOUS. It costs a bit more than other pastries (compared to Chinatown) but wow it was so good, I want another one. 'Twas a pretty fun day! I hadn't treated myself to a shopping day in a long time since I last had a stable job lol, but I didn't spend too much (just about $80 or so?) and we also had brunch at OEB. I won't spend for a bit as there's nothing I really need (since I'll be working remotely in my comfort clothing lol).

I then went home and worked most of the night on my virtual work to get things done. Debated about running a bath to try my new bath ball, but nah, watched YouTube instead.

Today I woke up in the late afternoon. I wanted to try not setting my alarm and seeing when my body would naturally wake up. I'm pretty sure I woke up a bit earlier than that, but drifted off to sleep again shortly after... and 12:30 wasn't too bad of a time to wake up naturally! I'll try it again tomorrow maybe and hopefully I'll wake up a little earlier to enjoy more of my day off.

I went to the gym, folded and put away most of the laundry, had breakfast and lunch and sent an email to my usual hair salon to see if they could colour my hair a certain way. I'm super excited to get my hair done purple! :)

I felt good going to the gym but couldn't handle too much... my arms are still pretty shaky, it shows how long it's been since I last went, and since I'll be working remotely, I need to go to the gym more and also get outside more.

So I'm going to input my spendings in a spreadsheet now and then go outside for a short walk around the neighborhood. I wa thinking of going to the Korean grocery store today, but it's already past 6pm... so maybe tomorrow?
