Woke up with my husband next to me and the sun shining, so it’s automatically a great day! I feel like checking in on all the things making me feel happy and grateful right now:
• my husband
• The Office (we finally have Peacock)
• NeoSoul chill vibe music
• our home and all of our appliances
• our kitties
• iced coffee
• TJ Maxx
• my podcast
• the color pink
Any of those apps look familiar? That’s where you can listen to Adventures of the 9 to 5! I’m just a gal who made an anonymous podcast to talk about stories and lessons learned throughout my job experience over the years! I wanted to make this a safe space where others can share their stories as well! Whether about a toxic boss or a nosey coworker, or even just share your own story about working for certain companies, I want everyone to feel comfortable to share their stories!
You can email me at adventuresofthe9to5@gmail.com or share story in the reddit community r/Adventuresofthe9to5
Despite the gloomy weather, I woke up feeling good! It’s largely because my husband and I both took the day off together, but I also just dropped the second episode of my podcast! I’ve kept it on the down low at work, mainly because word travels fast and people loooveee to make assumptions and be nosey as shit, but my friends and family know about it! I’m just feeling so excited and joyful around the fact that I finally launched the podcast after years of talking about it.
Riding the high of releasing my podcast and just feeling proud for ripping off the bandaid! My friends have been so nice and supportive which I am so grateful for! I ended up making a subreddit community for people to submit their own stories and experiences- so if you have any stories you’d like me to share on the podcast, head over to that Adventuresofthe9to5 community!
Soooo I finally did a thing….
I finally published my podcast!!! Adventures of the 9 to 5 is now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! Although it’s really only one episode and a couple blurbs right now, I am excited to record more and hopefully build a community where we can all share our stories and also share what we have all learned from our jobs and experiences.
I honestly recorded the episode that is out now back in December. I was letting my perfectionism get in the way by not letting myself post unless I had a backlog of content, but I then got myself stuck in a freeze state and never recorded anything else. I felt like the only way to break the cycle was to just f*cking send it LOL!
I’m feeling excited and grateful for my friends who are so supportive! I’m also thinking about starting another blog / site that is for my podcast specifically! For now I am working on more content for my Instagram page and I am hoping to record a couple more episodes this month!
If you’re interested, you can search “Adventures of the 9 to 5” on Apple podcasts and/or Spotify! Also, you can search me on Instagram @Adventuresofthe9to5!
I forgot to write yesterday, but that’s because I had some gal friends over for some crafting and snacks, so we were all having a great time! I always feel so refreshed after some quality time with good people, and I feel so lucky to have so many good people in my life.
Mutual respect is absolutely necessary for any successful relationship.
Sometimes letting go is the only answer. Detach from the outcomes and trust.
Rearranging my space / house always feels so nice.
Most people are just projecting their own unlearned issues onto people- stop taking things personally.
Everyone you know is struggling with something in some sort of capacity, it’s better to just be kind always.
Today was such a nice day, despite the weather being windy and cloudy. My husband and I went to a very late breakfast at our usual spot, which was delicious as always! Prior to that I started laundry, took care of the dishes as well as the garbage (these are normally my husband’s chores, but I was feeling motivated this morning LOL) and I picked up the groceries! It was nice to have all of that done early in the morning.
This afternoon I decided to make some juice for the week, which are all f*cking delicious! I love when I have my husband try new juice recipes and seeing how he lights up after trying each one! I’ll post the pictures I put on my snapchat story below!
Overall, today was such a great day! We’re gonna have some dinner soon and I may do some diamond beading after that. I was thinking about finally starting an audiobook I downloaded a while ago, but I also may just listen to a true crime podcast like I usually do. I’m determined to make this week ahead a good week! Sending love and good vibes to everyone!
I accidentally woke up to my husband’s alarm this morning, so I ended up giving my cat her insulin 40 minutes late. Luckily it really doesn’t matter that much, and I’m blessed that my husband still hasn’t turned off that pesky 6:40am Sunday alarm! Now I’m going to try to go back to sleep, however our cat Deacon has the “zoomies” and keeps doing this loud ass meow in our bathroom.
I have now closed the bathroom door to keep him out and he is now doing little half meows by the bedroom door. Mind you, he is in our room, so he can just come over here to the bed and cuddle, but he’d rather do whatever tf this is.
Yesterday I had a great time at my friend’s bridal shower! We had Olive Garden, espresso martini’s and tons of laughs! Her friends are all super easy to talk to and get along with, just like her! It’s gonna be so great going to her wedding and having fun with everyone there!
Today shall be a chill day with my husband. We’re gonna grab some breakfast this morning and possibly rearrange a couple rooms in the house. If not today, we can at least envision it! I would love to make some juice for the week and ideally some egg bites too, so we will see!
For now, I’m gonna put my phone back down and try to get a couple more hours of sleep. Usually if I fall back asleep after being up like this, I end up having some vivid dreams, so we will see what happens! I’m now remembering I had kind of a scary dream that I was able to wake myself up from last night. Weird.
Starting off the day walking and watching S.L.O.M.W! I have a little bridal shower to go to in a couple hours so I am going to get in the shower and start getting ready! I’m looking forward to celebrating my friend and just being there for her while we get closer and closer to her big day!!
