After dropping a bombshell at my place of employment last week I've been met with silence. I haven't heard from anyone there. It's a bit disturbing, especially when you have dreams that your boss is really angry and won't forgive you. Inevitable I guess. I'm dreading going back to retrieve some personal items and say goodbye.
I'm still working through the necessities of getting my health back on track. Some of my time is spent attending naturopathic and medical appointments, and probably will be for some time. But my partner and I went for a boogie board bash in slightly challenging conditions yesterday. My stamina was poor because the set of muscles required for this activity haven't been engaged for months, but the water was a crystal clear turquoise under a clear blue sky in light winds. Submerging myself in the ocean always makes me feel better. Getting tumbled is also good for severely inflamed and clogged sinuses. I got 5 hours respite before symptoms kicked in again.
I'm slowly moving towards more creative pursuits and finally finished off my quokka. He is now part of a poster I am designing to educate people about the relationship between trees and rain, basically that LESS TREES = LESS RAIN.
I had to share this unbelievably cute photo of a baby wombat peering out of its mother's pouch.
more swims will equal better sinuses and more energy!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're on the improve, just knowing that things are getting better is so good for mental health.
If the boss has started hating you after a long and satisfactory working relationship, there's something wrong but I'm sure that's not the case
Kylie I'm sure you are right. He has been a fantastic boss. I guess everyone just didn't want to burden me with work stuff, considering I don't work there any more.
DeleteI'm glad you're starting to improve, taking that first deep breath and diving into a new life. Boogie-boarding sounds like a great way to begin. Roger and I used to boogie board all the time when we lived on the central coast of California in the 1990s (when we were young!). It was such a fine way to be in the beautiful moment.
ReplyDeleteIf your boss has been a fantastic boss, I'm sure he and your co-workers are just working hard and missing your presence.
Well we aren't young Robin but luckily you can boogie board into old age - unlike stand up surfing, which I am yet to try again after many months and not sure if I still can! If I can't, I intend to keep getting out there on some craft. We also have quite sophisticated small surf mats these days and they are a hoot.
