Dear Jill:
You’re tired today and you might possibly be coming down with a cold (thank you hacking-coughing-boy-who-spent-the-night-at-our-house-Saturday-night), so you need to be gentle with yourself. Your mood is completely reflective of these two facts, so stop being such a downer and just do what you need to do in order to make yourself feel better. You need to eat good food today, you might need a nap after work, but you definitely need to get to bed early tonight, and by early I mean no later than 10pm (9:30 would be even better). You also need to get up early and work out – it makes your day go better and gives you energy to get through said day.
As far as the work drama goes – let it go. It’s not your issue. Don’t give it any more power over you, and don’t spend any more time thinking about it. It’s not worth it. Just do your job and do it the best that you can, and if another opportunity arises that gets you out of here, jump all over it. But until then, just deal.
Tonight when you go home, you are going to be tempted to dive head first into the rest of that birthday cake. DON’T DO IT!!! You have plenty of healthy snacks at home that can tide you over until dinner, so just don’t even think about the cake. You can do it! I believe in you!!
Okay, that ought to do it for now. Just do what you can and do the best you can. Hang in there, it’s one day closer to a 3 day weekend.
Love,
Jill ♥
Dear Jill,
I am glad you are going to be kind to yourself. Especially with a cold coming on.
I am going to take your advice and apply it to my job: But until then, just deal.
Be gentle with yourself. Early to bed sounds like a great idea!
Sound advice all around.
Feel better! Hope you’re already in bed! I’m not sick and I’m headed there in just a sec… 🙂
I love these “notes to self”
are you feeling better? great nights sleep? birthday cake un….demolished?
all that 🙂
That is so freakin funny, I mean the part about the sickly sleep over boy. I just hate that when ppl send there kids for a sleep over knowing full well they are sick.
I hope you get to feeling better. Working out is the best thing
in the world to make you feel refreshed.
