Welcome to the week that my whole schedule was thrown off!

I have only been at my job for just about two weeks, and my boss was out this week in an emergency. There's a daunting report that I understand, almost, and it was all in my hands this week. I felt good about the technicalities and the formatting, but not about the subjective notes. BUT, I got it done! Something went out at the end of the week and that's really what matters.

We also had a work conference on Tuesday and Wednesday this week where the attire was business formal. The first day was very geared toward the clients we work with while the second day was more rooted in the company. I won a raffle for a tote bag with some books in it and received a free signed book. :) I don't want to talk too much about it or what I do, but I had a lot of fun! I met a lot of my colleagues that I don't normally chat with, the food was delicious, it was an experience!

The view from the parking garage:

Financially this week, I paid off a credit card that was ~$1100. It was a few payments behind from when I was laid off and they've been incessantly calling me, but now they have nothing to call me about anymore! I feel like such small progress is being made with my credit cards, but there is still progress being made. By the end of April, I'll only have my two big cards left and that's really exciting. :)

Potentially the most exciting part of my week was watching Project Hail Mary. It's fighting for a spot in my Letterboxd Four right now. WOW. WOW WOW WOW. What a film. I sobbed three-ish times for all different reasons: the beauty of the Petrova Line, the soundtrack, and of course, my boy Rocky. <3

I received my second Stitch Fix box this week. I kept one sweater because it's the same color as my eyes lol. It feels very aligned with the personal style I'm working towards:

I also went on an eight-mile (alexa, play Lose Yourself) walk this weekend and it was so therapeutic. I think I want to spend every Sunday on a longer walk outdoors, especially as the weather is getting nicer.

All of the fun aside, my anxiety was at an all-time high this week. I spent a lot of time outside of work just rotting in bed, or asleep, or crying, and I don't know what the catalyst was. All of my social media algorithms were tailored toward attachment styles, borderline personality disorders, and other lingering things that seemed in the orbit of what I was feeling. I think a lot of changes are catching up to me, finally, and I crashed and burned at the end of the week. 

To keep things transparent, everything is seemingly on the up and up lately, but sometimes they're not. I nurtured that feeling and got it out of my system and let myself feel it all. I'm almost all the way back together now, sans some time needed to clean my space up.
