Apocalypse Now

 

Ok, so we were stuck in PARADISE🤩 (Bali) until Ms. My Gurl freaked out one last time and insisted we go “home” to the United States😒. Le sigh…. so here we are, in Oakland, California, in an Airbnb self isolating for 14 days. This is day 7 of 14 and i have probably gained 10 lbs. I have “carb” face, which means my face is SUPER round…. ugh…🙄

In Bali, I had my shit together (somewhat) and my weight was moving consistently on a downward trajectory… Now I am picking up because all I do is freaking SLEEP all dayum day long…. I miss morning walks and afternoon swims. 

The quarantine conversations, debates and arguments are for the dayum birds. I CANNOT…. Today must be different!!😅

Ah, I think it already is. I am actually up early in ET time zone so I can be awake and alert for recruiter calls. It’s been weeks since I’ve actually put effort into working at a specific time zone. I used to keep my eye on 4 timezones, NY, LA, Hyderabad and Dallas… and it was hectic…. I will do better this go round because thank goodness I am no longer anemic and completely exhausted all of the time. I am so much better than I was. No pica. No fatigue. No naps all day… Just up and rearing to go…

I have an interview and a seminar to attend today. I just scheduled another interview for Wednesday. Hopefully, I will have a few more this week. I really want that Google gig. Let me send a follow up email about it..

So, Ms. My Gurl read me a post about an engaged couple. The man found out the woman had a more colorful history than he knew about…. and so he’s gone and struggling. My take was this, yes I want to know if my potential spouse is a certain type of risk taker because that might be a deal breaker depending on how risky the risk is, lol…. 

Ms. My Gurl felt like, the past is her past and he shouldn’t hold the things she did before him, against her. That all sounds fantastic on  paper but in real life shit just doesn’t work like that…. We are all judged all day every day based upon our past / our decisions… So homegirl had a train of 4 dudes run over her. The guy is rightfully disturbed by such news, lol… I mean I’d feel like I’d have to learn the whole person over again cuz like…. who are you? lol 🤷🏽‍♀️

Not that a woman who likes trains is “less than” ... rather she’s just “different than” what I claim to want and need... preference.. 

Alright, back to finding work during an apocalypse... 😩💀
