Hello everyone!
I hope this week has been good for all of you. My week was pretty easy. I went on vacation to Redding, California. It’s the first vacation I’ve been on in a long time. For a while the idea of taking time off has been very stressful for me. While working, I never liked taking time off as I was worried, I’d waste my PTO, I’d miss some important work, or it would reflect badly on me. This vacation stressed me out as I have no job, so this would be taking time from me looking for a job or working on my portfolio. I was able to relax on the vacation though and have fun with my family. It reminded me that everyone needs to take time and unwind periodically. You shouldn’t go at 100% constantly and you should take the time you can to relax. It’s all about finding the balance and that is often my issue.
The vacation itself though was very fun. It had some bumps but ultimately it was a good time. I was down in Redding checking out a new property my dad and stepmom are investing in. We were able to spend the week there with my siblings appearing at various points. It was the first vacation in a while that I had been able to join them on and it was a bit nostalgic of our past vacations for me. For the most part we stayed at the house and in the pool, but one day we went to Lake Shasta. It was my first time ever to the lake and it was very dried up. However, we were still able to go jet skiing on the lake. It was my first time ever going jet skiing and it was a lot of fun. I was probably a bit more cautious than I needed to be, but it was fun to go 40+ mph on the lake and explore around. I’ve always loved boating, so this was just boating by yourself.
Well till next time you guys. I hope you guys have a good week and that I have some exciting news for you next week.
