March Journal #1

Write about the weirdest job you have ever had.

I haven’t had many jobs. I was a Sickbay worker on a cadet camp base. I was a parts picker and packer at Ford. I worked one night as a hostess at an ABC Country Restaurant. I worked one day picking ice cream at a Nestle warehouse. Then of course I’ve been a teacher for the last 14 years and I run a business with my husband. Although in terms of the business he really does all the work, or at least 90%. I don’t classify any of my jobs as the “weirdest.” Obviously, since I didn’t last more than a day at two of them –I really didn’t like them. I mean there have been weird days or weird moments but no job has been the “weirdest.” For example, there have been “interesting” ailments to deal with. There have been “quirky” bosses. There have been “wacky” co-workers. And having to wear a full on snowsuit in indoors was pretty odd (necessary but odd). The kids that we teach are wonderful, special not too mention hilarious; they make everyday amazing and weird.

What about you?

March Goals: “Making the most of…”

Having bid 2022 a long overdue “adieu,” I spent some time thinking about what I wanted 2023 to be. Every year I tell myself that “this is my year, this is the year I’m going to get started.” Started on what?, I am not sure. 2022 was another tough year, the heartbreak often overshadowed the incredible moments. I lost momentum a lot in 2022; it seemed like the second I dusted myself off, something else hit me hard. Two steps forward, one step back. Most resolutions have been abandoned by now, so I didn’t make any. Instead, I decided that each month I am going to set a series of THREE different challenges or goals.

The focus of February was Mental Health: journalling, reading instead of scrolling and meditating. I am going to try and continue on with those goals but I am going to add the following…

March 2023: “Making the Most of…”

(…my Nike Training Club app)
1. Do ALL of the 106 Yoga Workouts
-I have been absolutely loving the ones I have done so far (25)… 81 left to go!

(…my down time)
2. Declutter one space each day
-I’d like to donate as much stuff as a I can

(…my Spring Break)
3. Have High Tea at the Empress Hotel in Victoria
-This has been on my bucket list for a while; so I am going to finally treat myself

Wishing you all the best this month!
