I can't believe it's already July! I planned to update in June, but the month turned out to be unexpectedly busy with closing old doors and starting new ventures. For the past 15 years, I've avoided a certain career path. While I've always been interested in the field, worked alongside professionals in that area, and even earned a certificate for it, I never really wanted to pursue the role. My preference was for something more creative and free.
Recently, I found myself in a situation where I was asked to take on that role. Although it's currently temporary, I have to approach it as if it's permanent. Surprisingly, I don't mind it as much as I thought I would. In fact, it has helped me regain a sense of productivity, and I feel healthily challenged each day. I enjoy learning new things and trying techniques and strategies I haven't used in a long time.
In short, I'm enjoying this new experience for now. However, it has been overwhelming because I have many incomplete and ongoing projects in my other role. Essentially, I'm juggling two roles, which means coming home and working to keep up.
There's not much free time, and I'm constantly thinking about how to adjust to this new role and stay ahead. It's exciting but also draining!
Last weekend, on Tanabata, I took a morning trip to my favorite spot, Yuigahama beach in Kamakura. I love going there around 6:00 and just watching the waves, surfers, and dog walkers while eating snacks. I tend to FaceTime my family, and we all have a good time. It is one of my favorite things to do, and it refreshed my mind and heart a bit. I tend to head back around 9:00 before the people rush.
This time, I mainly went for research for work, but after collecting some samples and stuff, I read a book and just wanted to take a nap! Recently, my weekends have been packed because that is the only time I can be social, meet people, catch up, and spend time with my daughter. However, it was really nice to take that time for myself!
Hopefully, I will update again soon
