This week I returned to work after a very long four month furlough due to the COVID shutdowns. It was an exhausting stretch and with all the things I wanted to accomplish with my so called "free time" I didn't quite get there. My clean out the closet plan to switch my clothes was put on hold since we will be right back into the same fall/winter season soon. I did get to binge watch shows on Netflix and Hulu which, I never really had time to sit down to do. It felt good but then at times it felt very lazy doing it. Also, I offered to volunteer and help people with projects or social media, but oddly nobody took me up on that, guess they had the same free time. Lastly, the week before I was hired back I completed my online e-store with T-shirts and accessories that are humor/inspirational based. Luckily, with social media I can continue maintaining this on my personal time. The perfect T-shirt is below for all the work from home people.
Code JULY2020 for 10% off Working, volunteering, juggling school pick up/drop off's in between conference calls or remote learning from March, I felt more organized and accomplished. Now I have to get my groove back into my new schedule. Wake up before 9:00AM with hopes my son rolls out of bed on his own (a BIG NOT), brush my hair, a little foundation and make sure my shirt is not pajamas to go on video calls. By the end of this week I was burnt trying to re-familiarize myself with everything including new guidelines! I am my own worst enemy, a so called perfectionist, type A, detailed, organized worker, which are great qualities for an employer. However, my responsibilities of being a Mom/wife, and jobs of being a cook, cleaning lady, dishwasher, laundry mat worker and dog walker are still in place, with the remote learning plan again coming soon. I broke out my post it's to make sure I get to all of it or at least most of it with constant reminders of my cell phone alarms going off all the time. Where in this plan should I fit in my own self-care other than brushing my hair and having on a nice shirt for video calls?
One week down and I'm sure after next week I will get back into it. If you're in a similar situation, share I would lvoe to hear from you. We can all do it!
