I felt like I am extremely busy but yet I have so much time to indulge in silly activities.

Relationships:

The husband is significantly busy and absent from our lives, hence I have been stepping up on parenting keeping my son company most of my time after work. From the moment I get back home, it is a quick dinner for me during his tv time, then I will be around from playtime to story to bedtime. On some days, I just want to hide in bed and sleep but I don’t say no to my kid when he wants another story.

I’ve cut down on organising networking events and real estate work because of the point above.

Why, why, why are women always the first to give up their careers for their families?

Money:

Also, I have been more cordial to my husband after he started moonlighting as a deliveryman. All proceeds goes to my bank account. TQVM.

I started monitoring cryptocurrencies again because I need to build my money back up after cashing out for the car. I don’t have much of a strategy. Professionals will call me a gambler but my gut feel never failed me.

Work:

I have been so bored of work and disappointed with my career progression that I started doing lots of e-learning and sharing digital badges of achievements on my LinkedIN profile. Ten and counting. Maybe this will land me my next better paying job.

Since March, I have been diligently looking out for new job opportunities online but to no avail. Job market not looking too good and this is getting depressing.

I said yes to two more business ventures and I wondered if I am too greedy, too eager and or find it too hard to say no to people. I wonder how I will find the capacity to wear so many hats all at the same time.

Try first then worry later.

Shopaholic:

I realised I spent too much time watching and shopping via livestream after my son goes to bed and spending way beyond my means.

In a bid to curb my excessive online shopping, I subscribed and paid random apps to watch short films. All the story plots seemed to be similar but I don’t know why I am still watching.

Asian ones will be damsel in distress saved by rich CEO and they live happily ever after. Europeans ones will be Alphas rejecting their Omega mates and then falling in love and mating their rejected mate again. I am laughing at myself realising how ridiculous I have been while writing this.

I really should get back to reading to enrich my mind and save some money.

Weight Loss & Exercise Regime:

Just when I paid off my never ending non invasive aesthetic procedures, I signed up for those slimming sessions because I have a wedding to attend where my ex is the brother of the groom. I lost my bloat and I could fit in many of my old clothes now but the scales still tells me I am obese. I find the weekly appointments too time consuming and I rejected topping up for so-called more effective treatments.

I don’t believe I can lose weight by just lying down so, I still tried sticking to some kind of gym routine and added variety like spinning and yoga in an attempt to lose weight and keep fit.

Today, I dusted my golf bag, transferred several clubs to my new carry bag, drove to the driving range and started practicing my swings. Hello friend. It has been a while. Twelve years to be exact. I can’t believe it has taken me so long when the range is less than 10 minutes drive from home.

People say 20 percent lifestyle, 80 percent diet. I have been preparing salad lunch when I visit the gym during lunch time. I blame the obesity on fat genes despite doing so much exercise.

Whatever the scale says, I know I am good fat.
