Mondays

Today is a monday, but for some reason it doesn't feel like a monday to me. I feel rejuvenated in strange ways, even though my day wasn't exactly stellar.

I woke up to an unnecessarily rude message from my boss, in a message not just to me, but to all my coworkers. It kinda set the tone for me to be cranky all day. But (for once in my life) I actually called her out on it, asking why she needed to be so mean-spirited. It felt good not to take it lying down. 

Today I also started a new assignment doing set painting with my university's scene shop (as a part of my theatre degree), and it's already been so rewarding! I'm learning new skills and interacting with a whole new set of people (plus a very cute shop manager, lol) who are all so fun and sweet! It was really exciting to get started on this, especially because I've wanted to get the credit out of the way for a really long time. 

On the more stressful side of things, I'd been noticing a weird sound coming from my back wheel, and finally realized today that the tire was completely flat. I managed to change it out, but not without casualties - somehow (don't ask how) I managed to absolutely brain myself on the side of the car. I'm okay, no real damage except to my ego, because the aforementioned cute shop manager saw it and very kindly offered to help. I'd already finished by that time, but we had a nice conversation afterward.

Anyway, despite getting frustrated or angry multiple times over the course of the day, I'm coming out of it feeling lighter somehow. Maybe it's the forming of new friendships, maybe it's the new skills, maybe it's the male attention (lol), maybe some weird intoxicating combination of all three, but I feel good! Ready to tackle the rest of the week without fear!

Yours with love,

Rhowyn :)
