Side Note: Stuff going through my head
I’m starting a new element on my blog that I think I am going to call Side Note. Here’s where I am at with this – I love what I do and as a key part of that, I really like engaging with others in the field (picking your brain is lots of fun for me) and the chance to share my learnings and mistakes along the journey of customer experience is part of the that fun. But (you knew that was coming, right?) there is a person in The Corporate Woman and I think there’s stuff I’d like to share on that front on occasion as we go. You let me know if it gets too tangled or your not interested. I can always split the path.

The Value of Patience
I’m not altogether certain I was patient much as a child, perhaps I was but just don’t recall but I suspect that I wasn’t. Patience as an adult hasn’t always been a strong point either but I am finally getting better at it. Last year, I declared that I was going to embark on the journey of being healthier. I finally had the surgery on my deviated septum, so I could breathe better. From there, I started modifying my eating habits. Already good, I made them better. No fast food, no junk food, no soda, no prepared food (that’s right – no cans, no boxes, nothing previously frozen). That was both harder and easier than I thought it would be. My husband is a marvelous cook and he has chosen to make the journey with me, so that has helped a lot!

Final surgery update!
Hello all – as promised, this is my final report out on my surgery results from Feb. I would say I have reached full recovery now. Still some minor pain on big sneezes and occasional twinges but good for my purposes. Now for the good news – did it deliver on all the anticipated benefits? I give it a resounding YES!
My surgery – the gory details
My view of my septoplasty and the snoring surgery. For those of you who don’t know me, I was born with a severely deviated septum, with only a tiny opening in the right side of my nose. For me, this is normal. Little did I know that it is part of why I have low energy levels and don’t seem to get enough rest, even after a good nights sleep. The nose actually needs both sides to work right and properly oxygenate you. After years of dreading the surgery pain, I finally decided that my gift of better living to myself this year would be breathing better. I do one of these every year – for example, one year I gave up soda, another fast food, another caffeine. Each a step towards changing my lifestyle to a healthier one.

Winter and being sick…
Sorry for not posting for a bit but I have been sick (again) and feeling pretty muzzy when I am awake. Not exactly at my stellar best when I am upright and (relatively) mobile. I have the opportunity to work from home on some days, which definitely helps but I still operate at something less than optimal brain efficiency. Add to that – my husband and daughter are both getting tagged with each cold/flu/whatever.
One more day…
I have a lovely, long holiday planned with my husband and daughter. Sixteen days off. A rare thing in my life. Normally, I only have a week off at a time (total of nine days), so this rarity will be something to treasure. I’ve spent a fair amount of time the past few weeks encouraging my team to do the same. For a Customer Insights organization, the end of the year is not a crazy one like some parts of the org, more a time to wrap up projects.

The Tea Fire
The Tea Fire here in SB is finally under control (I call it at 80% – I know that’s not a 100% but that is pretty darn good compared to completely uncontrolled). I don’t know about others, but I struggled with how to feel all weekend. On the one hand I felt so happy that we didn’t end up having to evacuate, much less lose our home. On the other hand, I felt so awful for those who did lose their homes (no lives lost, fortunately) and I ended up sneezing and wheezing all weekend from allergies to the air quality, which added a layer of yuck to the whole thing. It was a crazy surreal weekend, filled with thoughts like… is it okay if I decide we will still go out to eat this weekend, like we do as a family just about every weekend? And yes, we did go out to eat. And we saw a lot of others do the same but there was more greetings and “is your home safe? I am so glad to see you!” even from the staff. What amazing grace and strength we have as human beings, what wonderful small tales will go untold during this tragedy. So I can embrace the feel good and feel bad at the same time. Guess that just makes me human (-:
Love and Loss
My mother passed away on Friday. I feel sad but also happy and at peace. You see, she has been terribly ill for a very long time and we who loved her have watched her decline in an anxious miasma of sadness and helplessness. The thought that continues to reverberate through my brain is that she isn’t hurting anymore. For the first time in a very long time, her life is not defined by pain.
