September 11, 2023, Monday night, 10:58pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA. I keep waking up at night realizing I didn’t write a post for the day. At least I am catching it in time. Better late than never. Mondays are difficult for me. I get emotionally exhausted contorting into the persona of a leader this job requires. At this point the stress isn’t worth the payoff. I can’t imagine working another 6 months at this job, let alone 6 years. Failing to sustain consistent employment is far more financially detrimental than diminished pay. I need to find more balance and steadiness. Side note; I have an issue with my left lower eyelid, it has been swollen the last couple of days. It isn’t so noticeable as it annoying. I wonder if it is related to the sneezing fits I keep having? Up until today I blamed allergens in the hotels but, I am not at a hotel tonight. Hopefully it is nothing.
