Day four of the 29-day, 29 Gift challenge. Today's lucky recipient of a gift is ... Cha Cha! C'mon down!
I didn't win a lifetime supply of Jiffy Pop, and I didn't receive a new car.
No. Today I gave myself a break.
I don't have to fix it all right this moment. I don't have to know all the answers. I don't have to do anything but breathe.
So I talked to my boss about the nature of my burnout. Miraculously, I did so without tears. And I started planning for at least a few days away from the office in the coming weeks.
This is definitely the hardest give so far. I question the neediness of the recipient. Surely she's just lazy, or faking it, or what have you.
But upon further examination, no. No, the recipient of today's give needs a fucking break already. So let her have it.

Enjoy that break, ChaCha! Add a drink to it!
I hope you relax and enjoy every minute. Don't spend your free time at that damned laundry mat!
Go see the movie W and get a giant tub of popcorn.
yes! you need a break. i hope it helps you find your way....
Good for you! Enjoy yourself and don't think about work at all on your days off.
An excellent choice for your gift-giving spree! Maybe we should all participate in a Give Cha Cha a Gift Day. I would gift you with 6 extra hours in a day if I could. I know that's what I need at the moment.
It's not about perfectionism, it is about giving when you feel like you can... it's just part of the challenge, so enjoy the journey! Go easy on yourself!
