So, it's been a challenging week for me on a number of levels. I'm emotionally drained from everything going on with my kids. We've also had quite a few appointments this week and I had a number of meetings crammed in between.
Physical therapy for Emmett was the last appointment of the week. The kids are with their mom for the weekend and I'm sitting in bed writing this before I call it a night. I have zero plans for this weekend but that's okay. The down time will probably do me some good. I'm not going to work on the house, even though I should. I'm going to sleep in and probably spend all day in my pajamas.
After the kids left, I spent the afternoon writing ad copies. I was able to get them recorded and produced before it was time to hit the gym. Speaking of hitting the gym, I worked out four days in a row. Next week I'll be back up to five days a week and I can't wait. I always feel so much better after a solid workout because I burn it all off while I'm there. I walk away feeling lighter and at peace.
Anyway, work has been going great and I might be planning a cross country trip in the near future. I've decided to really lean into the business and that means accepting invitations to things I historically turned down.
This past week alone, I was asked to moderate a parent panel for one of most incredible children's hospitals on the planet. It's an absolute honor and I couldn't accept fast enough. I was also invited to a movie premiere in Atlanta, Georgia next week. VIP passes and everything. Unfortunately, I had to decline that for logistical reasons but I would have loved to be there. Finally, I was invited to an autism summit (hence the road trip) where I may have the opportunity sit down with Temple Grandin and interview her on my podcast. That totally blows my mind and I keep asking myself, *how is this my life. *I'm working out the details over the weekend and I'll share more when I can.
So yeah, work is going great. These are phenomenal opportunities and I'm no longer going to avoid these things. My kids are getting older and I need to grow the business.
Part of what's been overwhelming me is that things are going so good and then all of a sudden, I'm locked out of my Facebook account. My 2FA is broken and I've been logged out of all my devices. I can't log back in without a code and I can't generate the code because I no longer have access to the generator. Its been an issue for a long time now but I was always able to work around it.
I had to factory restore my phone this past Monday night because it took a bad update. I lost some recent contacts and messages that hadn't synced yet, and I was logged out of Facebook. Trying to log back in triggered a chain of events that led to me being completely locked out. I've been trying to resolve this all week and I'm still stuck.
I lost contact information for people I wanted to reach out to. I also have a huge project I'm working on that requires access to Facebook. There's a lot of money tied up in this project, and I'm unable to finish it until I get things fixed. I did find someone to help me and I'll hopefully regain access shortly but until then, I'm incredibly stressed out. We all know how much I hate playing the *hurry up and wait *game.
I figured I'd take advantage of the downtime this weekend to get some business related things organized. A quiet house doesn't happen very often. On the flip side of that, as I'm writing this, I'm also thinking about going hiking as well. I could totally use the mental health break and benefit from some time in the woods. I don't know what I'll do but I have some time to figure it out. Maybe I can do both?
Anyway, I've been preoccupied and haven't written in a little while. I wanted to get some thoughts out and maybe sleep a little better because I did.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.... ☺
