My peaceful workday!, you wouldn’t believe it if you went solely on my metrics from my Oura ring. I remind myself, it is my physiological stress not my psychological stress.

Added another 30 minutes of sleep debt to my tab DANGIT! Since it is currently the future as I write this I know I’m fine haha. Had to have a candid conversation at 6:30am and I think it went over well (again, because it is the future when I write this) and I hope it sticks. Sometimes people change for a little bit and then fall back into old habits, my hope is that this young person can keep it up – I am rooting for them. I got to see so many familiar faces at work, returning guests and people I work with at the yoga studio, VIP MIKE of course. The sun came out and up and shone all day into my peaceful space. After my hard work, I did 15 minutes in the sauna, 2 minutes in the 60 degree cold plunge, and 10 minutes of rest (with one of Anne’s muffins and a cup of tea) in the warming chairs in the community lounge. Listening to the music and the hum of the fans, the tubs, the HVAC… looking at the plants and absorbing it all. I feel very lucky to work here, Anne came in for her shift after mine – we sauna’d together – it is just a nice feeling to be with my friend.

Amelia is feeling a little better, one of my front desk staff starting going downhill and I had to scramble to get a sub for her but one of my stars stepped up to the plate. I’m planning a nice dinner date with her to show her how much I appreciate her. Report back from Shirley on Wednesday was that my dad ate his lunch using his new birthday TV tray table! One of the troubles he has is getting into a chair – the ones at their counter are awkward anyway, especially for tall people, you can’t get close enough to the counter to not spill on yourself and if you do get close to the counter you have to put your knees on either side of the seat cushion. Anyway it’s an ordeal and you add to it someone who you need to give specific directions to and it can quickly become frustrating for all involved. He can do the love seat without direction, he moves his body along the edge until he doesn’t feel the arm anymore and then plops down. Jersey Mike’s night was a blast, and I dozed on and off from 7-8 and Mike told me to go to bed. I fought him on that but he won. Be nice and appreciate the people who get you through the day! Bye for now!
