Miss Matchery

Today is a special, anxiety ridden day for me. I’m making a big change. I am going back to teaching in a Montessori school. I did this for 12 years before starting freelance work from home, and now I’m returning after a 7 year break. 

When I left, I was 30… now I’m 37. There’s a big difference- just ask my knees and back, lol.

But hey, I know it will probably be fine. I spent some time caring for myself yesterday: 1. Going bowling despite having so much work to do. Letting myself enjoy my wife and our friends and some fun. It can be hard for me to do. 2. Letting myself cry it out in my wife's arms. It feels silly to cry over something like this, but I will miss her and our cats so much while I’m gone. And I have ✨ anxiety ✨, so everything is a big deal for me. Change gets me every time. But it’s inevitable.

So this morning I woke up at 5, giving myself a few hours of free time. I did some work, tarot, journaling, listening to spring jazz music, drinking coffee and posting in my groups. 

I’m going to put on my Hello Kitty puffy eye mask and then get dressed as cute as I can, do my  makeup, and try to have a sparkly, fun day. 

One big thing in my self care is getting dressed and putting on makeup. I did my nails last night. That sometimes fell by the wayside working from home for the last several years. So this will be good for me. 

I’m still keeping my author’s assistant job, just scaling back a bit, but I honestly love what I do so much. I’m hoping the new job is the same. 

This routine should hopefully allow me to blog more, too! So yay!

What are you working through this week? Comment below or send me a DM. I’d love to hear from you!
