socially exhausted
Apr. 30th, 2018 07:18 pmthe past two weeks in recap:
day shift is good but tiring mostly because of traffic and humans. day shift has a lot of people! there are a lot of conversations and social interactions! that is tiring for me, an introvert. but i am fitting in exercise/errands/cooking around that and getting into a schedule, i think. hopefully. i need to do more yoga and also sleep more and also read more; there really just isn't enough time in a day, it feels like.
went to the asia society volunteer appreciation dinner last week and won volunteer of the year! which really came out of nowhere for me, because who knew trying to do 1 or 2 events a month added up like that? i got a fancy plaque and everything, and i feel appreciated, but mostly i am just appreciative of asia society for being there, what it strives to be, the programs it puts on; i learn a lot every time i volunteer and i appreciate their mission and inclusivity.
drove up to dallas for the weekend to see sonia and meet her other bridesmaid/future sil blithe. we had a fun weekend hanging out and eating and figuring out our dresses. i bought a watch! it's everything i wanted! i'll post pics at some point.
today and tomorrow i really need some solo time to recharge. no longer doing the october trip to china, but in exchange my mom wants us to visit nc in june and is also picking up frequency in asking about our plans for kids. at some point i guess i have to tell her our plans are for no kids. ugh. she's so heteronormative and traditional in this aspect, and explains it away like it's biological when it's completely societal. sometimes i think we'd be good parents, but we'd first have to want to be parents, and i'm not sure we're there or ever will be. whatever, the earth is overpopulated and the species is at no risk of dying off en masse.
