stonepicnicking_okapi1. This week has been a roller coaster. I definitely need to work on keeping my equilibrium.
2. First, air force guy went in the hospital, so I only worked 10 hours last week (26 hours is a full week for me). On the one hand, I finished my cleaning campaign. On the other hand, the next payday is going to be very sad. Added to it is the anxiety of if the agency is going to call or if I should call them for more work and the unknown of a new client.
3. But, today I got the call that air force guy is being discharged and I am back on my regular schedule tomorrow, so it was a week's unpaid holiday (but I didn't know it was going to end like that).
4. BTS is launching their world tour. I had decided that my UK invasion was a higher priority budget-wise since I have already seen them in concert. But then I just saw the tour will stop in... Baltimore (the nearest city to me). Wow. Really? I laughed out loud. I had set in my mind they'd be in NYC, Chicago, and LA and that was fine. But they will be here. So I have decided I will try to get tickets but not stress if I don't succeed (I will have to repeat this over and over) and I will still wait and see what the new album sounds like. If for some reason, I'm not crazy about the new album, there's less incentive to stress myself out about any of it because they will be promoting that. But I renewed my ARMY membership and signed up for the pre-sale (which is the only sale with BTS).
5. I am enjoying the Snowflake challenge as always. New friends, lovely interactions with old friends, etc. It's also forcing me to do some reflection, which I rarely do.
6. Plain bullet journaling suits me a lot better than last year's Hobonichi. I add my own touches, of course. For one thing, it makes it easier to do my odd week thing where weeks are 1-7. 8-14, etc regardless of days of the week. I did my first weekly re-set and I think it's a good thing.
7. Jazz man and Indian lady (my other clients) continue to be good. Minor is showing every annoying aspect of being 14.
8. My goal is to spend the next 2 hours working on my soap opera (aka my BTS Rear Window fic). Wish me luck.

Gosh, Minor is 14 already?? 😱
