Journal: #329 Week In Review
It’s been an exhilarating week, and by this time tomorrow, I’ll be halfway back to Redding. I’m ready for it. The friends I’m with are all extroverts. They have no problem talking from the butt crack of dawn till late into the evening. Literally. On a completely related note, this introvert is ready for some alone time. I’m not exhausted, but I need rest. The return drive to Redding from the airport in Sacramento will be my first true solitude since my drive to Sacramento.
On another note, I had a couple of interesting developments this week:
Tuesday evening I received a text from a friend asking if she can set me up on a date. I flinched when I read the message. My heart raced and my chest felt heavy for a few moments. Of course, I replied yes. I had to say yes. This mystery woman might just be a cup of coffee or the woman (or somewhere in between.) We have no way of knowing, but I’d like to find out. I didn’t say yes to her. I said yes for me.
Thursday night I landed a new marketing account with this company— Metal Shark. They make boats for the military, law enforcement, and public transportation authorities (like NYC Ferry.) They have a niche need for TIG welders. I’m not sure how it will turn out, but it’s nice to bring in business without trying.
Also business-related, I killed it this week. No, really. Between fishing, walking the French quarter, and all that talking, I managed to stay on top of projects. Yesterday, I was standing in front of a Mardi Gras costume when a client CEO asked about a project. As I sauntered into the next room, I messaged our primary graphic designer in California and a backup designer in Ukraine. I followed up with the CEO. Project delegated. What a time to be alive. It’s proof I can work from anywhere.
Lastly, this is post 329! If you follow my blog you know what that means. Tomorrow will be #330 on day 365. I’m thrilled.
