This is the second week of implementing my new policy of keeping my private life out of work. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am of my error in using my job as a social outlet. So I've been strictly "all business" while going about my day. I'm not a dickhole about it or anything. I'm still polite and friendly and say pleasantries like, "Good morning." But I don't initiate personal conversation, and I self-disclose very little or not at all. I'm not even sure anyone's noticed, which is just fine by me. {Redacted}, and I have made brief small talk when initiated by someone else so as not to be rude. But I mostly keep my eyes open and my mouth shut.
Personal Roundup
I've been doing fantastic with my exercise regime and pretty good with everything else. My eating has been flawless during the day, but then I freak out and eat everything I can fit in my mouth at night. The time change and early dark is really hard on me. I've been feeling low when I get home, so I eat to fill my time and the hole in my heart. I've also spent money I shouldn't have on non-necessities, but I've managed to keep a closer eye on my finances. I've planned out a budget to carry me through the end of the year and January of next, factoring in all the expenses for the upcoming holidays.
