Insomnia hits at the worst time and I go into a four-hour morning meeting in the hotel restaurant with four hours of sleep. But the work keeps getting done and in the afternoon I had time to myself. Or rather, I have the time to myself to work independently and catch up on slack messages and start to process decisions and redo formulas on spreadsheets. I don’t have enough time or capacity to tackle everything in one afternoon. I’ll have to line up the dominos. Some more sleep will help.
This evening I walked downtown to meet my colleague at True Foods Kitchen and have a beautiful meal and conversation together. It was a nice change of pace and gave me an excuse to walk thirty minutes each way and stretch my legs.
Tonight’s my last night at the hotel, I decided to spend an extra night than planned to make the logistics easier, but I’m excited to be in my friends’ home tomorrow. But honestly, I think I needed my own space tonight. The pandemic has made me forget how much of an introvert I really am. Or maybe it’s exasperated it. I love my team and genuinely enjoy their company, but damn do I need recharge time.
I’ll take what I can tonight.
With Love,
Natalie
