Journaling the 90 day Go Hard workout Wk 5 ( LA Story)

    In week five I ended up going back to work... The two weeks we spent on the beach selling art was really fun but nothing happened that made going back to work not an option. I was expecting it to go better than it did. I'm not exactly sure why it didn't. I couldn't immediately get back on schedule but they were nice enough to put me on call and I ended up working three days. Here's the kicker tho because I didn't go to work for two weeks by 8/25/22 which would have been my payday I had zero, hubby had zero too! 

    To be honest it was because he wasn't hustling everyday or as hard as he said he was. He has this habit of talking harder than his actions and it's annoying. Anyway everyone was happy to see me and I was happy to be back. Once again work had become the most peaceful place for my mind. The thing I like about my new job verses old career is the fact that, it's not burning me out like mental health did. I also get to wear a uniform! Yes that excites me because it's so refreshing not to have to figure out what to wear everyday. There's no pressure as to what people will think about your outfit or just plain ole having to decide. 

    I can just clock in and out no sweat, no talking about peoples problems, no taking people's problems home, no debrief meetings about other people that just can't seem to get their shit together. No more having to use all my mental energy to carry someone else. My God in social services you really have to create a work life balance. That's why self care is so important. These days I just go to work and go about my business, it's really refreshing. 

   All in all it's like i'm on a train and I have absolutely no Idea where it's going. I'm not worried about it but I would like to know that there's some type of contingency plan if the train crashes. I clearly don't expect it to but... I mean come on there's a fire drill once a month at school's & most places of employment. There's barely ever a fire. I went to school for twelve years & did all those fire drills and never experienced one fire. I never even expected one to happen, but I still had to participate & just because I participated didn't mean I was worried. 

Thus ends week 5 on to week 6 the journey continues...

A Recovery Love Story

  Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️        There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste.      As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...

Cilla Lee-Jenkins Book 12

  Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in.       This book was given to me as an inspiration gift because it was noticed that I enjoy writing and reading very much. At work during down time I would write short stories and I even wrote the love story of one of my married co-workers on this blog. Matter fact the person that gave me the book! You can read his story here it's called A Recovery Love Story .  Author:   Susan Tan/ Illustrated by, Dana Wulfekotte Title:    Cilla Lee - Jenkins The Epic Story Main Characters:     Cilla Lee-Jenkins, Gwendolyn Lee-Jenkins, Essie Lee-Jenkins, Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Grandma Jenkins, Grandpa Jenkins, Mom & Dad Setting:   This story mostly takes place b...
