week one of my 'job'

So as my first week of my new 'job' nears its end, I thought I would let y'all know how it's been going.
Monday - I had a very good first day, albeit a slow day, I stayed focused and got things done.
Tuesday - Less eventful than my first day, missing a key element of the day thanks to the Leafs game I attended, but I enjoyed quality time with my brother as we watched our hockey team lose... sigh.
Wednesday - A very good day for being organized and getting my mind moving AND getting ahead of myself on some chores. I even started my Christmas shopping!!
Thursday - A great day mostly because I managed to get to the gym downtown for Aquafit and really enjoyed the class. AND, I made a point to introduce myself to the instructor so that he'll remember me and know if I'm skipping class : )
Tomorrow - Yoga class at noon, and the rest of the day is undecided at this point.
Weekend - Teaching a good friend how to use a new computer program on Saturday and Body Flow with Kathryn on Sunday!

I'd say my first week was a good start, but I didn't get to the spin class I had intended to go to yesterday. It's the one class I've wanted to go to since I came home from England (since I quite enjoyed the spin classes I took in Brighton) but have been reluctant to try since they are more advanced and full of familiar faces. Something about turning bright red in front of neighbours is slightly more intimidating than turning bright red in front of all female strangers half way around the world. Alas, I shall overcome that hesitancy and jump on that bike next week!

I'm hoping that in the upcoming days, weeks, months I'll have more interesting thoughts to share with you. I've been doing a lot of thinking recently, but not really about anything monumental. I think the last moment of clarity that I shared with you, the realisation that nothing is worth feeling so lousy over, was the eureka moment I needed to clear my mind of all the negativity that was there. Perhaps being more positive makes me less inclined to sit in front of my computer and spill my thoughts, and instead get outside and share a smile with my friends. Yes, I think so.

But fear not, I'll start spilling my beans again soon - just want to take a moment or two to figure out which beans are better kept to oneself.
