"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
- Audrey Hepburn
Good Sunny Afternoon to y'all. Hope that everyone is tickled pink that the sun is out and shinning for us all today. While yesterday morning started off on a bland note, thankfully by the time the afternoon came along the sun was out full force and making the air hot and humid.
For those of you that didn't know, the meeting that I was to have today was moved to yesterday at short notice. This meant that my Spanx and I were wearing a hole in the floor walking in circles for majority of the day waiting for four to roll around. I don't know why but I was so nervous my stomach was in knots, even after the meeting and my workout.
After sitting in the car, baking for over a half an hour I was able to finally go in and do my thing and show my portfolio to the potential client/employer. While it doesn't sound that there will be a full-time thing going on there, there may be opportunities to create items they need in the future. At this point in time I will take anything that comes my way. While I crave to have full-time employment so that I can slowly grow my business on the side having, a contract or job on the side at the moment is better than a kick in the teeth. I'm just hoping that before fall comes I can make my home with a company that welcomes a new addition and at the same time slowly grow my name and business so I'm not feeling such a sense of urgency and of being lost on this journey. Safety is what I'm after.
Since last night I've been worrying for my Sister, whom had to deal with a difficult situation today. Sometimes I find myself feeling so protective of her and my nephew. If there is ever a moment that I've felt primal and like a female lion it's when I know she is unhappy. I know it's not really my place or my job, but I just want to keep them both healthy, happy and in a good place and when someone or a situation threatens that, I'm at the ready to rip someones throat out. Everyone needs a protector and a place or person that they can rely on to makes them comfortable and safe. I know she'd do it for me if the roles were reversed. If only Windex did more than clean windows, I'd be able to make it all go away.
On a lighter note I won't be going to workout today, because my boy is coming tonight while his mom goes to soccer to exercise and have some feel good endorphins released. I've already done the dishes and cleaned up around so that there isn't as much for him to get his little hands into. All that's left is to clean the bathroom, sweep, make supper for all of us and setup the playpen for later. Last time she had soccer and we had the pleasure of having him here, I had forgotten how good it feels to give him his bottle and have him fall asleep. While I may not be able to get my feel good moment from working-out tonight, I will be having the satisfaction of a good cuddle.
I believe that even Trevor is excited for the visit. Last night on the way home from my workout, that made me sweat like a hog, we had to stop to get an additional two of the finger puppets that he was so impressed with last weekend. It seems as though he was more excited about them than the boy was. It is nice to know though, that now we have something here to entertain him and she doesn't have to lug toys everywhere with her.
Well, seeing as its after twelve now, I guess that I should be turning my attention to myself and finally do my hair and makeup so that I don't frighten the child or Trevor when they get here. It would be nice to have everything completed so perhaps I can do some Yoga or Pilates this afternoon to clear my head. Tomorrow is my weigh-in and honestly, I'm not looking forward to it. It's one of those weeks that I'm not certain how I did and if I have done enough. I've drank at least a liter so far....I need to push another three in there at least throughout the day.
Just call me Piddles,
Gillian
