I got up later than I had originally wanted to this morning but I still got a lot done! When I got out of bed my stomach was bothering me a little bit so instead of immediately making coffee I laid on the couch for almost half an hour. Then I got a call from someone at work and it kind of jump started my day. I ended up making coffee and feeling better. It took me until it was time to go to work to vacuum the house, gather all the trash, and put another load of laundry in. I also took the blanket I had thrown in the laundry out of the dyer....of course it wasn't completely dry so I laid it on the bed upstairs to dry while I was at work. My dog was in a very active mood today so I also tried to squeeze in as much play time as I could!
Once I got to work my supervisor grabbed me and asked me if it was a good time to do my performance review....gulp. I was actually really glad that we were finally going to get it over with after waiting so long. At any rate, I'm very happy to say I had a great performance review! My supervisor seemed really pleased with my performance and growth in the last six years. In my profession I am ultimately doing everything I can do for the patient's and if they have good outcomes then I'm happy. However, I can't deny the fact that it makes me feel very pleased to know that my supervisor notices the effort I put into work every single day. I must say that with this review I am energized to get the new year started right....positive feedback can be such a motivating tool! I told him that I would like to pick up some additional responsibility if he needed me to.
Work ended up being a weird night....it wasn't extremely busy but what I had to do took a lot of time. Once I got out of work I came home and rewarded myself with some wine:) Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and I insisted that I wasn't going to be traveling anywhere to celebrate. Instead I told everyone I would really like to celebrate with that if they wanted to see me they could come to my house. I just feel so overwhelmed and stressed after the Holiday's. Most people I know had some time off but I didn't really....so I had to do traveling in between working. Anyway, with that being said it sounds like it is going to be really low key. In fact I think it's just going to be my boyfriend, my twin sister and her husband. This is totally fine and I think we will have a great time:)
I'm really proud with how I've handled my OCD the past few weeks. In fact, my hands look really good for it being so cold. It's interesting because a statement my boyfriend made three weeks ago is still repeating in my head and has been very key for my mental progression. He was basically commenting on the fact that I count how many times I wash my hands and he said that after the third time I'm really not washing anything else off. I guess it was a really good thing for him to say to me because I totally agree. I wash my hands so much more than the regular person and I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not washing any germs off after a certain point....it's just a ritual. A ritual that makes me feel comfortable for a couple of minutes until my obsessive thoughts turn to something else. Alright, enough for now.
