Opened the resume document again this morning, first time in about 3 weeks. Did the usual 20 minutes before work, just reworded two bullet points for the operations lead posting and left the rest for tomorrow. Small, but it’s something.
Also told the team I couldn’t make Thursday’s dinner. Kept it short, said I already had plans, no explanation beyond that. Still felt a little awkward typing it out, probably because I usually say yes without thinking about it.
Saturday’s hike helped more than I expected. About 4 miles out and back, and somewhere around mile 2 my head finally stopped running through every job posting I’d read that week. Back on the laptop by 9am today picking this plan back up, figuring I’ll stick to 20 minutes a day for now instead of trying to do the whole thing in one sitting like last time.
