Running better

Checking in with a short and sweet update today. I'm feeling my vibe right now. I think I always feel good during my birthday season - late May to late June - yes, I'm a Gemini (and a fairly typical one at that). Things are working out nicely on all fronts - health, work, relationships, money. I'm sense I'm operating on a much higher level than I was three months ago, and I'm proud of myself because I have made a concerted effort to raise my game and get my shit together. I'm running my life better, having been stagnant for a while.

Lots of excitement in the pipeline socially and hopefully a good new career opportunity.

I'm listening to Florence and the Machine's 'Dog Days are Over'.

Juggling act

This weekend I was reminded that I am good at multitasking. I juggled studying for tomorrow's exam with a work trip to Durban, a huge friend crisis, a dinner party for seven, three in-laws staying with us, a Mother's Day lunch out in Noordhoek, Stormers rugby, World Cup cricket and trying to get all the laundry dry in the pouring rain. I managed to do all of it pretty well - I have come to understand that doing things 80% perfectly 80% of the time is usually good enough.

Feeling good about myself, and interestingly, more productive having detoxed for a week now. Could do with cutting out some of the comfort food which I seem to be magnetised to in this weather, particularly with exams looming. But that can happen next week, when the study madness is over.

Waiting game

In stark contrast with my more patient and much more philosophical attitude yesterday, today I'm just sick of playing this waiting game. So tired of playing two different games, in fact! Juggling a current job and a prospective one is demanding to say the least! Guess it's all part of the challenge, but I've had a a whole month of this, and the tension has really built up, in a subtle but very real way. Things with R blew up last night, but over something so silly. One too many glasses of wine after work doth not a hangover make, but it tends to give me way too short a fuse. I can't wait for a break, to get out of town for a few days and have a change of scenery. Frustrated.

Going to look here for some inspiration! http://www.ripplesofimprovement.com/the-art-of-patience-learning-to-be-like-the-tortoise/
