I think that each time I post, a new photo gets added on my homepage as part of the query loop. This post will confirm if that’s true and then I’ll figure out how to change that. I only want one photo showing there. Anyway, it’s fall.. the season of pumpkin spiced lattes and rain and football and hockey. First football game was last night – Taylor’s boyfriend’s team won. I love that my worlds collided in such a fun way with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. How adorable are they?? They are going for the three-peat and started with a win and great game against the Ravens. My friend’s son asked when football starts and I told my friend that he should put the game on for him so he did but somehow was way behind on the channel and watching pre-game while the real game was already in the second quarter. We were both impressed that he found the sports channel.
While watching the game, I was completing some HR courses because I started my new job this week! Same job, new place 🙂 It feels refreshing to be somewhere that appreciates me, that wanted me, that supports me, that is nice to me… the people are super welcoming and kind. My boss forwarded me an invite to a group party we are having with the entire division in October and it’s going to be at one of the local casinos and they are paying for everyone’s flights and travel accommodations who are coming from out of town. It’s a Saturday night. It’s going to be so much fun. I’m certain many more disparities will arise as I continue at my new place. My previous employer’s idea of a fun and rewarding get together was to all meet at a field for 3 hours in the afternoon; in the heat. I’ll take the casino, thanks.
My mom is coming to visit today. I’m going to my yoga class first this morning, I haven’t been since before we went to Vegas. My mom will bring us some of her masterful cookies – they are delicious. She should have created her own company and sold her cookies, she still should at the farmers markets because she would make a ton of money. They are so delicious. She has to bake extra packages for all our friends. Mom is in high demand. Hanky loves his grandma too. My dad stayed back at home with their dog and cat. My mom is here to help my grandma and aunt and also to help my sister set up her classroom and pack some things in her house.
I want Christopher to call his dentist today and try to get in – there’s something wrong, the same thing as before, with one of his teeth and it’s creating this awful migraine for him. The physical pain is taking some of the stress pains away from him I think though. He’s been having a hard time sleeping, he’s been very stressed about our situations with work. I know the relief he felt when my new job was confirmed and offer accepted. It meant that he could feel more comfortable stepping away from his work. He’s not sleeping, having panic attacks and the people he works with don’t care at all. They don’t care about him. They certainly don’t care about me. They’ve proven to be bad humans. Mean humans. They’ve completely miscalculated us as a couple, as individuals, and the values we hold. They thought they could ruin us (was that their plan? I don’t know, it’s very confusing and doesn’t make any sense) and thought maybe they could have full control over Christopher because they assumed he/we care more about jobs than each other and our mental health. They are wrong. Nothing is stronger than our love for each other, our peace, and living our best life. And our best life doesn’t include them. They’ve hurt a lot of people. A lot of good people. It’s quite sad.
I have to finish the rest of my HR courses today, hopefully have my license/registration reinstated early next week and then I can continue with the great relationships that I have with my clients whom I care for so much and always make me smile.
