About your first day at something-school, work, as a parent, etc.

Um, I remember my first day of work at my current job at the hospital. I had the wrong color shirt on because I waited until the last minute to go shopping. So instead of eggplant purple I had a more light purple which so happened to be the physical therapy unit color and they were right next door to us and I got some glares everytime I walked by that first week.

I had to show up early to get my badge at the security desk where one of my customers from my last job worked, and we were so excited to see each other.

Then I had to wait there for my boss so we could go up to the pharmacy together.

Then I spent most of my first day sitting at a computer doing a bunch of online learning to get caught up in their system as this was my first hospital job as a pharmacy tech.

It was quite a boring day and met some people at lunch as the computer I was working on was in the break room.

I do remember on the way out I got lost going down the stairs and had to go back up to get out and go home. That at least showed me how nice people were here. And that was my first day at my current job.

What could

What could you do less of?

I do less of?

I could feel less worried and stressed about things out of my control.

I can’t change how people treat me or not care if they don’t show up for me.

All I can do is not let those little things bring me down for long, so as this year ends and the new one comes around. Hopefully, I can do less stressing and worrying about things.

The time

I arrived where everything Christmas was blowing through the air.

Delight and joy are all around, but so are sadness and loss.

And so, as I bake these cookies to bring to those I love and care for.

I hope this holiday the little things during the good and the bad moments will bring you some joy and comfort.

God doesn’t want us down for long, so even if things aren’t great this time of year, the little things like Christmas lights and movies bring me so much joy.

If there

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

Is one thing I would change about myself?

This would be my shyness/ fear of public speaking, as I always hesitate when doing things with people or at work.

But I’m working on being more open and public speaking. I’m still trying to overcome it.

I would love to be more confident in speaking up, taking risks, and doing things that require me to be on camera or stage with large crowds.

Am I

Are you more of a night or morning person?

More of a night or morning person?

I am a night person as I love staying up late, and sometimes, at night, I get inspired to write or finish reading a book. Or I am staying up late to play Sims4 or watch a movie.

I tend to get lost in things sometimes at night, and time flies by just like during the day, but when I wake up in the morning, I never want to get up. But I treasure being up during the day when I’m off work.

Since working nights, I’m up at odd hours, which has helped me love nights even more. Even when I should be sleeping, I can’t help but stay up a little longer when it’s quiet throughout the house.
