Do you need a break? From what?
Truthfully, I need a break of letting things get to me that normally don’t. Life happens, people do crazy things that are beyond comprehension but their actions or reactions should not dictate my day.
With that mindset, my former supervisor and, “sister from another mister,” would speak wisely and tell me, “don’t let anyone steal your joy.” In other words, don’t let the actions of others take ownership of your mind and heart. Furthermore, we talked about how tiring that it can be and to take time to recharge without the noise.
Admittedly, after losing my job, I have felt peace from the culture that was present at work and, yet, I’m stressed about being on unemployment and the lack of benefits it pays. Reopened my Poshmark closet and have applied to part time work to compensate. Restaurants particularly are being left out.
In addition, Texas like other States have changed their process of drivers license and tag renewals that a citizen renews online if eligible or makes an appointment 2.5 months out. Today, I will check online on a decent desktop computer at the library instead of my iPhone and iPad to see if I can renew there. Or, all else fails, I will explain the situation to the concerned parties and future appointment. From my previous post, I was stressed out from this.
Unfortunately, I cannot separate from myself from me so I’m taking a mental health break this weekend. My peace will be watching British crime dramas, being with my feline babies, napping and going for a walk plus enjoying a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Americone Dream.
Yours Truly,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
