I sat at my new little desk in front of my computer. To the right, a stack of papers I need to get through. To the left, my little notebook where my to-do list lives. Hair pulled back, a large bottle of water on the floor and Reba McEntire on Pandora. Before I opened my inbox I looked around my small office space and realized today is the first day back to some sort of normalcy in my routine since we moved here. Wake up, workout, read, juice and get ready for the day….
We had been staying with my brother since December and half the time it felt like a giant slumber party which I obviously loved. Sometimes I’d wake up early, sometimes I’d sleep in. I stayed with Eliana almost every day and basically spent the days giving horsey rides, reading, dancing, jumping, counting, taking walks and documenting as much of it as I could. I’d respond to emails and phone calls when she napped and Eddie and I went to apartment viewing appointments a few evenings a week. I absolutely loved the Eliana part and hated the ‘searching on craiglist for a place to live’ part. But we’ve been in our own little apartment for almost two weeks now and we are finally settled in. Well, kind of. I still need the pretty things, like picture frames and wall art, but that will have to be a work in progress…
Anyway, back to the point of this post. Today was the first day I actually sat at my desk and worked. Like, officially. It’s not that I ever stopped working, I worked on the plane on the way to Honolulu, I worked on my laptop in my brothers living room, at Starbucks, from my phone, late night in the spare bedroom and sometimes even during dinner, but it was all so unconventional and not formal that it flew right by. Kind of like a blur, but an organized blur.
So today when I did work/business things the “formal” way, in my running shorts and all, I took an extra moment to take everything in…the sound of the birds singing outside, the random gecko that hangs out on my window screen, the trees dancing with the wind and the fact that I’m five minutes away from the beach and some amazing hikes…my first “office” workday in Hawaii. I love it but believe it or not, I kinda’ miss the craziness that has been for the past two months.
This post makes my last post sound a little wacko right? Oh well. It’s a mixture of emotions around here if you haven’t noticed already. I’m really excited about the things that are happening in my business this year, even if I don’t know what all of them are yet, and I thank you for taking the time to check my little corner of the web. Mahalo and Aloha.
