Small wins

↪ I sent out two emails to the team regarding our upcoming summer outing. A calendar invite and a poll for venue options. I gave out 3 airbnb options which I already reserved, so I'll just keep the winning listing after the poll. Thank God for free cancellation!

↪ I've been feeling very anxious about this task. When my manager casually told me to organize the outing I knew I had to follow through because uhm it's an order hahaha and also I do want a team outing! I've been feeling very distant with everyone and I wanna close that gap by trying to get to know them better. I know they're all cool and I would love to feel closer to the team.

As an introvert though, it's a nightmare planning stuff. Not because it's hard to get everyone's involvement, on the contrary they're all very game about the prospect of a team building, but because I don't know where to start and what to do and ask of everybody. In general, I'm very indecisive and shy, but I'm pretty enthusiastic about participating. I'm actually quite social but I don't want to be the responsible party.

I wonder how Maki does it back in White & Case, she's always on top of things like this! 

Anyway. It's good practice. Now that the poll is out and the venue is almost secured, this is really happening! Now we just need to decide on the food, carpool options, and collect payment. Should be easy right?

At least I get to design a teaser in Canva! Haha

↪ My head has been hurting for a couple of days now. It's probably period migraines and I hate it.

↪ I got my MRI results yesterday. ACL is intact thank God but there's something about my meniscus that I need to ask the doctor about. It says lobulated parameniscal cyst along the anterior horn. GenAI says it's associated with a meniscal tear, which I know I've had since highschool. So now I need to know my next steps cos it's starting to hurt. I have to wait for the images though cos they ran out of film. Funnily they gave me a CD of the images. Like, who still has CD drives in this age? Oh well, guess it's still a medical standard. They gave me access to the raw files on Google Drive, which prompted me to install a DICOM image viewer because they're in a different format. It looks cool haha. Still prefer the printout lol.

↪ Started our sessions with coach Gene yesterday. I was able to go through the exercises even on a fast. My husband however almost fainted. It's been a while since he worked out. Looking forward to really improving our health and general fitness! And primarily fix my knees! 🤞
