Today I received a package from my coworkers. I saw the 8x11 printer box and at first thought "Oh... they packed up my desk. I wonder why I wasn't told I was being let go." Then of course my mind starts looking for the 'signs' that indicated this. I blame being a contractor for so many years... Contractor Mentale.
It was actually a care package and a thoughtful one which definitely picked me up. I also heard from a couple people which took my mind off things. And I made some progress at work. I think I'll still do a bit of work on the weekend, hopefully I won't try to do much but I'm feeling a bit caught despite getting two projects today and learned of a potential new one that I'll be running lead for on Wed.
But now that I've showered and conditioned my hair I'm going to try to write "thelastchapter" of #thelaststop. I was realizing I haven't read a good novel in a while and for a moment couldn't remember how to. It's strange to say I didn't know how to write a novel but I had that moment and I think it was because I haven't read in awhile. So I picked up a random book and just started reading it to get inspired a bit. I also looked at the bookshelf near my nightstand that I've placed books I've started but haven't finished for a tiny nudge. I'm still not all the way there and would still like to find something to lose myself in but at least I'm not feeling quite as lost as I was earlier.
At any rate... off to try to work on this chapter.
It's lovely that your co-workers did that for you! And I haven't read a good book in a long time either. Made the mistake of picking up a book written by David Duchovny just because I really like him. It was terrible :(
