Happy Hump Day, Steem Fam! Wow. It's been a week.


Dear Steem Diary,

Wow, the last two weeks have been crazy. A death, a funeral, travelling, hanging out with family, break ins at my shop, and now flu - it's been an eventful week.

I learnt a lot though, and this is the best part of this past few weeks. To be able to learn.

So, what did I learn?

I learnt am learning to turn off
I am one of those people who takes work home, not physically, but I check my emails, reply to emails, do social media for work, and lately, go to work when the alarm is going off (LOL!). Yeah - we've been having break in's at my shop, and of course, my number is the one they call when it goes off.

So, I have made a conscious decision to NOT do anything work related after working hours. Like, not even refresh my email. I already have cut down on regular social media use more than two years ago, so i guess this was my replacement. The constant buzzing of my phone was driving me literally insane; I was feeling frazzled and my brain felt saturated.

Since making this decision about a week ago, I am feeling better, a bit more relaxed, and not so super stressed. I check my emails when i get to work, and I don't spend the drive to work thinking about the emails and what I need to do when I get to work.

Family is the most important element in life
We lost a family member last week, and we travelled to the funeral, with lots and lots of other family members. I realised that no matter how weird we are, or what we say or believe, the one thing that binds us, is the fact that we are family. There's nothing they can do, they're stuck with me, haha 🤪

Life is short, and I am pretty sure we are not meant to spend it working so much that getting away to see family is only a once or twice yearly occasion.


Dear Steem Diary, all my emotions jumbled on this here page. I'll be back next Wednesday. Love you. Bye.

Queen of All Mew Mews.
