this photo is basically me. every day is pretty much the same. i'm fine with that - but at the same time it's weird because i'm used to being busy. have you ever had such "switch" from being busy to not being busy at all? how do you feel about that?
to "break" the routine, i sent messages to parents of the kids i used to teach. i thought it's going to be creepy becsuse i don't teach them anymore, but turns out they were all happy that i remembered their kids. they were happy to chat and update me about their kids progress. i think we made each other's day
what has made your day today?

It is one of my worst feelings having to take a busy day into a slow day at work.

Oh, I am glad you checked in with them. I sometimes consider getting in touch with old students or clients. But I usually let them take the initiative. I did contact an old professor of mine about a year ago. He really appreciated the effort.

i did that because i'm "younger" than the parents, that's some rule here. and i also thought they might think that i changed my number, but i let them know that i'm still using the sam number on viber
i also try to stay in touch with my piano teacher and my class teacher from high school. they were really nice ladies

i thought so too, i had to send it to my husband while he was working
i'm glad parents didn't mind it. nowadays i always overthink situations with kids. it might seem normal to me, but i never know what parents will think

yes, i'm behavioral interventionist (i think that's the term in english). kindergarten was one of the places where i could work and i liked it. i don't know if i'd like some place else more, but it was fun

@aureategloom why did you stop working then? You shifted to some new place or something like that?

That is so nice of you to reach out to people. See , you need to continue your reading and exploration of your hidden talents. There is no age barriers for that and it will keep you busy. Indulge in things that interest you and that will make your time worthy. I have been busy for last 5 months and I can feel burnout symptoms now and hence slowed down to recuperate and recover. My weekends were also weekdays. There would be many things I would be working on and that ended up with a big to-do list. I say focus on 2 items at max and get those going and then we shall return to others. Atleast thats the lesson I learnt. Enjoy the weekend!

thank you for your kind words, i realized it was a good thing that i reached out
and as for not being busy - i don't mind it. i do things that i like, but it doesn't "bring much", i don't feel to useful when i'm doing things only for myself. but i always try to enjoy

I think you're already relaxing elegantly, enjoy your day so spacious and fun before this busy world eats us up lol.
I also have a nice day, just got back from the employee selection test and hopefully I'll be accepted for the job. The final announcement will be in January next year, and I think there's still one month left to prepare myself
