Learning to go with the flow

May 29th, 2008 at 03:34 pm

I'm back at my old contract, and am gradually nearing tranquillity. I am grateful for the familiarity: asking for help is easier. I'm aware there are serious challenges outside of work, but having stability and friendly faces goes a long way. Exercise, meditation, vitamins, and a healthy lunch prepared for the next day should be part of my evening routine.

I have decided I would like to look more feminine and professional this summer, so I bought a dress. I would next like to buy some open-toe shoes and some capris or khakis. This busts my clothing budget but my public transportation expenditures will be around $5/month for at least six months. I don't have to dress well for this job, but I like how people treat me when I do dress up. They notice more than I imagine.

Lost nine pounds since I left in February. That was noticed too. :-)

    Congrats on the nine pounds :-)

    Personally... I LUV women who dress femininely. I used to frequent a coffee shop where the waitress, Juliana, liked kinda retro 50s dress - she wore her hair long and loved 3/4 length dresses with lovely patterns... made me feel good to see her.

    I find a splash of make-up helps too. My eyes get brown and swollen during stressful periods (which is like the entire school year). Just a tad of make-up is a pick-me-up too.

    Check out the thrift store and see how far you can make that budget stretch. And if you can find a good yard sale.... well, you could load up!!
