dog days of summer
Aug. 18th, 2021 10:03 pmI journal daily by hand, in that I make a record of major things I did or I guess encountered or thought about to keep track of for my terrible memory. Except I never go back and read old entries. And I don't really write out my thoughts/yearnings/whatever that makes journals supposedly interesting, at least when they're turned into books. No one would turn my entries into anything, thank god.
August is quieter for work so I've been working on realizing the formal internship program. Good progress; generally everyone agrees there's a need, but no one had the time or capacity to take ownership of the project and move it forward. I'm doing it imperfectly (maybe I should go get an actual Project Management Professional certification to learn all these concepts and principles) but I'm doing it, and that's more than anyone else has done. I should add it to my resume or whatever. This job is not forever, I know that, but it's also hard to envision the future. Do I proactively look elsewhere? If so, when is the right time? Do I just wait until life happens and something falls into my lap?
Trying to balance work with maintaining friendships inasmuch as I can without in-person meet-up (so mostly texts and sharing cute animal vids or IG posts or whatnot), and trying to get involved in local community volunteering and organizing efforts.
Doing yoga again, need to move back to cardio and strength training. Cooking, eating out, spending quality time with my cat. No hockey now gives me time to do more things, but my most persistent underlying urge remains melting into my couch. It doesn't feel particularly rewarding or meaningful, but there's a lot to be said for inertia...
