DAY 1 out of 5 DAY STAYCATION

okay, Day one of my long five day weekend.

I woke up at 7AM today and made breakfast and lunch for myself in one swoop.

I then had to carve out about two hours of time to wrap up a work situation. This situation probably requires an entire post on its own. It's related to someone at work who I am mentoring. I'm not in a supervisor role but I am responsible for helping this new employee onboard for three months. Things have been said about my mentee not being competent and as much as I wanted to defend her and be protective over her. I do have to address these things with her whether i like it or not. So im putting my big girl pants on and reminding myself that I CAN DO HARD THINGS.

After this I have an hour to spare to clean the kitchen situation as well as the laundry situation.

Then I have psychoanalysis at noon where I am going to process the shit out of the work situation as well as some other lingering things I have on my heart and mind.

From 1-2 PM I'm going to get a hair cut and get my eyebrows done today and head to another part of town for my 3pm massage (and old credit I had from a few months ago- from an old massage membership I had for a monthly massage).

I will then head home for dinner with the family. At this time family means, my dogs, my partner J, and our temporary house guest who has been with us for a month now. Another topic which deserves its own post. Our house guest is my partner's best friend. My partner is a bit of a lone wolf. he's not the type to have tons of friends. So when his one super close friend needed a place to crash while seeking employment it's very hard to say NO.

After dinner the plan is to go to Bass Pro Shop with my partner to pick up an order.

And then relax at home with a walk around the neighborhood and some good sleep.

I'll report back later.
