This Is the Day

Who knows a thing or two about midlife crisis? Surely, not I! I think I'm in the middle of one, but not quite sure if my age fits the bill.  

Sitting in my cube for the last five hours or so, playing with my phone, and checking outlook hoping to God somebody would email me, is not my idea of working. This has been a regular occurrence for the last couple of weeks. I feel guilty for getting paid doing nothing.  At the same time, it's driving me insane being idle. I don't know if I can stand another week like this! And to think, this is our busy season!

I am facing a crossroad in my life.  One that I am forced to face because of idle days.  Roads that lead to uncertainties. It scares me thinking about it. I have pondered upon the idea of going back to my old workplace.  I was happy there. Convenient. Familiar. It was nowhere near perfect. But I mattered. My work had meaning.  But is that really an option?  

For now, I am grateful because I am blessed. But this day made me realize - I HAD it good.

Day 3

I don't know why, but I always wake up really early when I don't have to and want to sleep in when I have to wake up early. Today was one of those days. I was really looking forward to sleeping in while on vacation. But, so far, I've been waking up at 6am! Feel rested though so no biggie.

First thing I did was look out my window to see if the fog is gone. To my disappointment, it was denser than when we went to bed last night. I'm beginning to think the weather is going to be like this the whole week. But, on the bright side, we don't have to deal with freezing temperature and snow. Here, I get to wear shorts and flipflops. Plus, I get to enjoy some quality time with Rick. I get to blog as well! It's funner when facing the computer does not mean crunching numbers.

Things are never what we expect it to be. We just have to look at it in a different perspective and appreciate what was given. I am grateful.
