Admin day

Posted on by Han NaGil

I spent six hours shopping and taking care of boring yet necessary administration yesterday.

  1. Six clothing items brought to the tailor to be fixed or altered.
  2. Specialty Korean grocery store.
  3. Food from regular grocery store.
  4. Pick up mail
  5. Shopping for clothes. Upon conducting a cost-benefits analysis, two items will be returned.
  6. Bulk purchased consumables to save future shopping time.

At least, I was able to check off Write Revival from the blackboard.

(I say this all the time. Why do I stop writing when it gives me so much joy? Why am I prioritizing someone else whence by doing so, I am killing the thing the very thing that makes me happy? Can you relate?)

I guess it’s like admin. It’s difficult to set aside time, but once it’s done, it’s done, and it feel good. I don’t only need food to sustain myself but also words to feed my parched soul.

Revival of the words

Goal compromised. Broken promise to the most important person: myself. The self doesn’t go quietly, however. Causing turbulence to make itself be heard. The heart and soul aches and longs for these quiet moments of respite from the outside.

And so, here I am. It is 12th of November with 50 days left of 2017.

What have I been up to during the past ~75 days?

  • Doing two roles in separate business units.
  • Getting to know two really special people. Myself and the catalyst.
  • Too many events. Attending and planning close friends’ weddings.
  • Getting sick. Recovering. Getting sick again. Recovering still.

Too many people. Especially having them in my own home – it would have been fine if it weren’t for all the social events. Wedding ceremonies the entire weekend. Monday through Saturday: Two people staying over. A game on Monday. A dinner on Tuesday. Another dinner on Wednesday. Making dinner for 3 on Thursday. Going out on Friday. Going out on Saturday.

The body said no and shut down once again. I am grateful for this body that self-regulates. It keeps me alive.

It’s been 15 days since, and I’m at 85%. It’ll take another full week before I reach 100% and my sneezing stops and the haze clears.
