Speaking Up, A Shit Show, Improving, and a Good Book

I spoke up for myself yesterday and now my court appearance is virtual today. There's a hearing this morning and my supervisor is sick -- like really sick. We sit next to each other for at least an hour. Can't do it. I happened to call her yesterday and she sounded awful. I was polite, direct, and non-negotiable. 

Of course, virtual is no easy task through the courts. I'm not sure this will work (many people have issues). It's important to be present, but I won't take a direct hit on germs this close to the wedding.

Having my back feels uncomfortable in the moment, but it also feels right and it feels true -- the more I do it, the more I notice if I don't.

I had a nice day yesterday. Final hair touchup before the big weekend and lunch outside with hubby -- alone on a restaurant porch, just like pandemic times.

I'm meeting my aunt for lunch today too. Same deal -- careful, masks inside, eat outside. This afternoon is the final Art of Gathering class. It's been extremely helpful and well worth the time and money. I'm also working on writing cards for the welcome bags -- started with the harder ones that I want to personalize the most. It'll go faster as I get down the list.

My monster hemorrhoid is a shrinking. Phew. I want to workout today, but I'm not sure it's in my best interest. I'll see how it feels. My jaw is also improving. Thank the lord -- both "ends" settling down lol.

I dove a little bit into current affairs yesterday and immediately dove back out. What a shit show. 

I finished this book -- loved it. It was funny, warm, predictable-ish without being too cliche. It felt meaningful and sappy. All the components of some good feels which are very welcomed right now. I need to think on a next read and timing. I'm having a slump and I don't want to give up on a potentially good book because I'm not in the right headspace. Having the right book was a treat this week and it would be nice to have reading time to settle my mind before bed. I'll dig through my TOO LARGE TBR pile and see if something pops. 

Hope you have a good day. Later gators.
