Today was supposed to be the first day of the week I ventured out and about BUT ...
... my monthly came with a bang last evening. No warning -- just weeks of hormonal shit making me wonder if it was going for good.
I canceled a coffee date with a friend. We planned an outside chat after she dropped her foster at my groomer. It was an early and cold plan. I knew I needed SLEEP, frequent bathroom breaks and a non-rushed morning. I chose me first. I chose myself first and I don't do that often in circumstances like this.
How do I start feeling like I don't always come in second?
Start treating myself like I count TOO. The important thing is TOO. I considered my friend with this change as well. I made an early decision (didn't wait until this morning). I knew she had to go to the groomers anyway so this wouldn't be a huge inconvenience. I also know that at any point work can add a conference call onto her schedule and we have to cancel or adjust. I explained why (not that I had to, but that feels polite to friends) and we'll postpone once she knows her work schedule for next week. This decision feels good in so many ways. As Brooke Castillo says -- like your reasons.
So I like my reasons to change up today. Coaching call this afternoon and nothing else planned. I'm going to get find a couple of new recipes and make a grocery list for this week.
Dog duty is calling so extra short today. Have a great day and stay well. Later gators.
