Good golly I am terrible at this. I'm very good at procrastinating... and I don't think it's due to being a perfectionist... but I don't feel very confident with a lot of things. Actually one of the reasons I like working, is it feels like I am stepping into a role... like Cinderella... then I get home and turn back into a pumpkin.
Last few weeks, have just been really off for me. You find more responsibilities when you live overseas... especially as an American. I want a digital assistant who will just do all the tedious left brain things for me, we're almost there with AI right?
To help with the air flow in our home, we bought two plants a couple weeks ago, probably need more than that, but it's a start. One was English Ivy, which seems to be doing alright... and the other is a fern... which is not. I first put the fern in the Living room, but I don't think it was getting enough water... or humidity. Then I moved it to the bathroom... and it just kept failing, more wilted and dumping leaves anytime the pot was touched. So today I cut it all down to nothing, I'm not sure if it will come back, but according to what I read online, that was the best option.
My in-laws are back in town, and the kids are so happy about that. Their 爷爷 or yeye takes them out a lot. Since they are here, I have returned to work and I still enjoy it... you encounter a few people who aren't very friendly, but for the most part it's ok. My husband wants me to search for a teaching job, but I really don't want to pursue that. The pay can be better, but that's when you have a teaching degree and certificates. Otherwise the pay can be less, and it's a lot more work and responsibility.
Oh to top off the start to the week, found out that someone spent about $150 usd on beads and gems with a credit card we had not used in the last two years. It's disheartening, and the troubling part is RBC won't do a thing since it's over 110 days since they sent an alert, but they will add on late fees and interest fees (they took off a couple of months, but left the rest). I just don't understand people, and I think I try to see the best in people, but again and again you just see some unfortunate things. And even with the events going on in the world, things that you feel are common sense, are just not.
I want to post more and often and that is always my intention. It's 2:34am here, so time for sleep.
