D-2 & period outfit

hello dear, how was your weekend? miss you.

Sorry that I didn’t write here yesterday, I was quite tired because my period is here and especially after I did some packing for my trip.

I am a bit moody today, I think because of my period and it’s the last day of a long holiday. I am in a low mood not because I don’t want to start working again, I am in a low mood because I start to feel nervous about my trip that’s starting from Tuesday night, and I don’t feel like going.

I am going to Frankfurt because we have a booth at that Ambiente tradeshow. Similar to last year, Vincent wants to have a section for the Disney stuff. This has been one of the key projects I have been organizing and planning for awhile. And I am going there mainly to set things up and help with anything related to license when I am there. I will need to be there for 6 days before I go to other places to travel on my own for another 8-9 days.

I am feeling a bit nervous because it’s a far away place afterall. Even though I already travel long distance quite often compared to a lot of people and it’s not the first time I do business trip or go to this trade show, I still always have this anxious feeling every time. This time, Jojo and Veron (the girl who used to be under me) are both going too actually. I should feel glad that I have company, but at the same time I know I probably will have to take care of them (especially Veron), because it’s the first time they are going to this trade show.

I am also stressed about all the socialising I will have to engage with those Meyer people I work with from the UK and other teams and some external people. I am a lot better at it now, but still it drains a lot of my energy and as you know, my mental state isn’t always good and stable, I need a lot of time to recharge and adjust myself.

But today, I also had a very comforting and encouraging time when I was at church. I thought back how I wrestled with God and pondered for so long about this trip back in November because I didn’t want to go. And I was reminded how I felt God reassured me at that time, that no matter where and how far I go, and what kind of journey I am taking on, as long as I let him, he will always go with me and I am never alone. And today at church, I feel like God also wants me to know that I will be going with his blessings, and he will be cheering for me and championing me along the way.

Even though I am still feeling moody and emotional about the trip (& resuming work), I do feel glad that at least I got a 5.5 day long holiday to take a break and prepare myself for it. So I hope I am more ready than before :)

How about you, dear Andy? How are you feeling today? No matter what your mood is, know that I want to give you a big hug 🤍 I will definitely miss you crazily when I go - at the airport, when I am having my noodles at the lounge, on the flight, at the trade show, in the hotel room (this especially), on the road…anywhere I go. 😊

Love you and good night 🤍

PS: Here is my ugly outfit today, I seriously suspect my fashion sense wiring shorts whenever my period is here. I look so dumb in this outfit but I didn’t bother changing it 😪

I also went to collect my tailored tee from Uniqlo today, the siumai is smaller than the one I tried on before, haha.

And I bought this white beanie for my trip, I quite like it :)
