Another Spooky Horoscope

You can develop a deep sense of satisfaction if you establish a manageable pace early in the day and keep it going as long as possible. Although you're able to get a lot done today, don't be too self-critical if you need to take a break. Working too hard now will backfire, so when you start to lose momentum, give yourself permission to escape for a while. Some good old-fashioned relaxation will do you a world of good.

I use Google Calendar to track my life these days. It sends me an email in the morning to tell me what I have scheduled for the day. This morning, for the first time in days, it said I have nothing on my agenda. The last few days have been quite full - to my relief and delight I am busy with buyer clients - relief because I've felt frustrated with the pace of my career launch, and delight because my clients are so darn nice I love them to pieces. But this has made me go all neurotic and stressed out to do the very best I can for them, which has led to researching not just homes and neighborhoods, but first-time buyer financing programs and other topics, which has given me even more to think about, and pretty soon my brain hits overload. Today, I am not going to think about work...much. If I have a work-related thought, I will jot it down and pursue it tomorrow.

This weekend is the Friends & Fiberworks Summer Retreat - you know, the one where I'd said I'd sign up for a weaving class? In this case, procrastination was the right thing to do - I cannot pass up working with a buyer client for a class, so it's good that I'd held off signing up. I will stop by this afternoon to check out the event and the vendors, and I'll report back. Later this afternoon I plan to see the new Harry Potter movie.

Right now, it's laundry and housework and a trip to the mall for makeup, because I am totally out of my Bare Minerals foundation. I'm listening to an audiobook while I putter around, tidying and organizing my world - Anthony Bourdain's Medium Raw. It is of course read by the author, and is edgy, angry, and funny as hell.

Jotting note to self - I do have a few ruminations on being in real estate and the need to be "outgoing"- Brenda's comment on the post below reminded me that I meant to ramble on about that, and I swear I will get back to it. I said when I started this job that it wasn't going to be a work related blog, and it won't be, but that won't stop me from talking about work. It's my blog and I'll blather if I want to. But now it's back to Medium Raw, and cleaning my own sad little kitchen.
