Ins and Outs
Things that made me feel good this week, and things that didn't...
In
Binging the Natalia Grace docuseries and discussing it with everyone who will listen
Celebrating the Full Moon in Leo
Doing yoga daily
Daily phone chats and more consistency with friends
Reading.com to help my kid feel better about learning to read
Looking forward to a Barnes and Noble and El Pollo Loco night
“Hating” Plain Jane, but secretly loving all the drama she brings
Listening to others’ POV’s, especially those who are younger than me and come from a different background
Strategizing with my manager
Writing at least an hour every day
Getting emails from people I admire telling them they admire me (um… what?)
Making cozy soups and casseroles, even if my son hates them
Changing clothes at least 3 times a day
Juicy phone calls with at least one mention of, “keep this between us”
Making an art book of my kid’s artwork
Out
Debating the Barbie Oscar “snub” and overlooking the historic nominations for people like Lily Gladstone, Colman Domingo, Da’Vine Joy, Danielle Brooks, etc.
Worrying about things I can’t control
Trying to make sense of the bad things happening in the world
Feeling envious about not getting invited to things
Comparing myself to others, especially job titles
Thinking about people who probably aren’t thinking about me
Pretending to be fine, when I’m really not
Saying yes to things because I feel pressure to
Getting feedback on a project and taking it personally
Feeling less than because I’m single, still not on a show or getting paid to write, or able to afford much of anything
Making in and out lists… probably!
