I Was Having a Bad Day and Then I Wasn't

AHHHHH IT’S MY FIRST POST OF 2021!!!!!!! I didn’t intend for it to take so long, but here it is, friends! 

I posted the following picture with this caption: Jalapeño Margarita for the win!!! I had another first time experience in the panny and no it’s not the margarita! New post coming soon :)
What do you think I did? 👇🏾

Let me take you back to the beginning of this day. It was a Wednesday and I had a very important meeting. I was dreading this meeting with my whole existence. I knew I was gonna need a margarita after it lol I had my mind set on a jalapeno margarita from Condado. I was gonna go get it after I was done working. I had the meeting and it only confirmed everything I already knew. I think I was depressed afterwards. Maybe I still am a little. I’m not valued in a place I have given my all. A place whose wellness I’ve prioritized over my own. We can save that for another time, though.

So anyway, I was cool, but extremely disappointed in the confirmation I received. I decided to go deliver February’s materials to my students. Driving always makes things better. I have 16 students and they live all over the city. The second to last kid took me all the way to Huber Heights. The last kid lives right around the corner from me so that last delivery wasn’t urgent. I pulled into this Wright Patt parking lot to place my food order. I looked up and right in front of me was El Rancho Grande. It was calling to me. I called them to see if they could make my margarita and he was like “Umm yeah” like I asked a dumb question LOL but I had my mind set on Condado because that’s where I first had one. 

I was gonna have my margarita to go….until I walked in and there were only two old ladies in there eating. I was like wait...I might be able to sit at the bar and have my drink. The significance of this is that I had not sat at a bar since last February!!!! I couldn’t fathom sitting down anywhere around people who weren’t wearing masks. My anxiety wouldn’t let me. But here I was, sitting at a bar all by myself. So do you know what else I did? I ordered food! AND ATE IT AT THE BAR!!! I know it seems like a small thing, but for me this was huge. And after the shitty meeting I’d endured earlier, I needed this victory. ​

I felt like I was on a high for the rest of the day. I can't say I'm gonna make this a regular thing, but I was very grateful for having this amazing experience on such a shitty day. 

Thanks for reading :)
