Goodness, what a week it has been! I'm writing this at 9:30 PM on Friday night after a very long day off from work. I was with some family accompanying them to a medical procedure and it took longer than expected (not because of anything bad, just normal doctor's office stuff)... and then it was over an hour to get home followed by Burger King for dinner & a binging Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story on Netflix.
This week was pretty hellish -- I was very busy at work, and very stressed and just feel like I didn't have a firm grip on reality. I'm going on my first work trip for Estée Lauder next week and I'm very nervous; I'm nervous about flying, about being in a new setting and the normal anxieties around doing something new for the first time. I haven't been on a work trip in over 5 years so it'll take some getting used to again and I'm apprehensive.
My mom, sister & I were supposed to go to the Bravo Diamonds & Rosé Experience in Manhattan tomorrow but due to a ton of road closures & subway disruptions, we won't even be able to get into the city, so I'm both disappointed and relieved. I was really excited for it but I have such a busy 6 weeks ahead and I need to prep for my trip next week, so the extra day is much needed.
This was another week where I felt disconnected from reality, where nothing felt calm or easy, and I was just overwhelmed and pushed to the brink. I'm hoping next week is better but knowing me, it won't be because the week leading up to a trip is always very stressful. That's why I'm kind of glad I'll be home this weekend to do what I have to do.
Ok, enough blabbering, let's get into the roundup.
