- Trip planning as stress relief. During my big meeting prep this week , I finished booking and planning our Argentina trip. I feel quite happy about it. The anticipation of a good vacation, carefully planned, hoping to surprise the family.
- Hang out with my work boys. This week I came to Sau Paulo Tuesday afternoon. During most of meetings, I’m the only woman. I love my team, and hanging out with them after working hours have been great. Well… even during working hours as we went to explore Asian town and I got so many snacks and condiments. We also tried traditional handmade udon noodles and was so good.




- Spontaneous calls with work friends. I get energized after talking to good colleagues that felt genuine friendship, with a level of understanding that my husband and friends outside of work can’t understand fully. This connection is special and fulfilling.
- Tylor swift new album. It has been on repeat this week. My favorite album of her, not that I carefully listened them all. But this album is mellow and perfect chill music to unwind.
- Writing this at the airport flying back to Brasilia, I’m trying get into the mental space of vacation, a good one that is about being in the nature, endure the physical motion of one foot in front of the other, with Sofia. I’m not there yet as I was just working 2 hrs earlier, but I’ll get there before I land.
I saw that list and I was like “I might steal it!” Didn’t get to it yet but I think I will.
it’s wonderful that you have such great colleagues, I love mine, too. Albeit some of them are needy and can be a distraction. But others keep me motivated and happy.
where are you going? Are you only taking Sofia? Or everyone is going together? Looking forward to reading about it!
