I got advice without asking.
But I feel like something intervened.
Last night as I was stricken with anxiety, I fell asleep by offering up a solution to call a past professor of mine in the morning. She is a mentor to me and never danced around the bull shit.
I never called her today. Didn’t want to make a situation out of nothing. Not until it’s something. No worrying!
But, I did email her to tell her what was...
Just got a call for another interview next week.
So that’s two journo interviews next week.
Not going to panic. Not going to panic.

I had this moment last night
where I did what I always do—panicked over a situation I created.
Worried previously I wouldn’t get any work—-now I’m toying with the decision of getting two job offers. Mind you, these jobs have not even been offered to me yet. However, I had myself so worked up I was already going over a Pros and Cons list in my head for each at 1:30 in the morning.
I finally stopped...

I have to quit Weight Watchers
due to the fact that it costs money that I don’t have.
And I’m actually fine with it. I know what and what not to eat to stay healthy and lose weight. I know how important daily exercise is.
I’ve got this.

Re: today.
So, I didn’t blow that phone interview. In fact, I’m heading up to NYC on Tuesday for an interview.
I have never
been so nervous in my adult life.

Post run: day 6.
Sluggish. My legs felt like lead. Not sure what the deal is. Whatever—keep pushing.
Going for a run
to clear my head and forget all the bullshit in hopes I can ace this phone interview today.

If I don't blow this interview tomorrow
and actually get this internship, I’m going to get SO much knitting done on the bus.

Pre-coffee Wednesday reflection:
It’s not about luck. It’s about kicking yourself in the ass and doing as much as you possibly can to the best of your abilities.
Oh, and it helps to have a fairy cover letter mother.

Post run: day 5.
I was getting pretty pissed because my run kept getting delayed. Finally, all the business was squared away for the day and I was able to soak up the last bit of sunlight.
50 degrees on a January night, watching the sun come down and the sky turn pink. The breeze was just right for pondering and letting go all at once.
Tonight I felt a little free from all of this madness and improved my pace a...

I just spent an hour on hold with Unemployment
for them to tell me I didn’t have to file my freelance.
When I went to do my claim, it wouldn’t let me.
Now I get to call and sit on hold allllll over again
Can I just please get hired somewhere? I’m tired….

But I’m having a hard time enjoying Miles Davis while this shit-bag show on the History Channel about Wood is on.

As I was walking up the three flights to my...
the older man who lives on the floor below me came outside and said, “I saw you walking over on ***** street yesterday. That’s pretty far, if you need a ride let me know.”
To which I said, “Thanks, but I was running and walking out there because I don’t use the gym.”
I just feel a mixture of pride in myself and thankful for the kindness of others.

Today was supposed to be a rest day.
So I cross-trained instead.
I know, I know, I know.
And I will just say, even though I always thought I was such a terrible dancer, Zumba is so much more fun (and my instructor is amazing and kicks so much ass) and feels like a much better workout than wasting an hour on an elliptical.
Feelin’ good today.
