We all know how susceptible I am to the power of suggestion. Two minutes into the trailers at a movie theater and I want popcorn, I listen to a few stand up comedians and think I could do it too, I read a book about introverts and convince myself I am one. You get the picture.
However, I must say, this last point might have merit to it. After a full ten days of socializing, travels, parties and visitors I am spent. I just want to curl up in a dark room by myself for at least 24 hours to recharge my batteries. So this is a serious question: can a person become an introvert overtime, has Covid made me socially out of shape or am I suffering from a serious case of exhaustion?
Maybe it will help if I give you a cliff notes overview of the last few days
Wednesday: Participate in a fireside chat in front of the entire Finance organization about my participation in the Black Owned Business Mentorship program
Thursday to Sunday: Travel to Colorado for the annual Halloween girls weekend with McKane
Monday to Wednesday: Coordinate and host a team offsite with my entire team in town, meaning full days in the office and two big dinners out on the town
Wednesday: Participate in another fireside chat at an ESG training to talk about my team's structure and our accomplishments in ESG reporting
Wednesday to Thursday: Host my new friend Jessica (Juliet’s daughter) during her visit to California including a full day off work on Thursday for us to hang out
Thursday: Bring on the mom guilt. Oskar had to have his eyebrow glued back together after a minor accident at school. Martin was there to console him while I was off galivanting around town with Jessica
Saturday: Organize and host Alva’s birthday party at the local playground
Monday: Go trick or treating for Halloween
Thank goodness Martin and I have a weekend getaway with just the two of us this upcoming weekend. I need a break!
Scratch that. Martin got sick so we cancelled the trip. But the kids still really wanted to go to the parents house so I ended up with a free night to myself downstairs. Which honestly might be even better than Napa. Here's to hoping we all get a break soon.
