Good Morning from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! I am sitting on the deck of the very large Mexican beach house we have here watching boats go out to fish. There is a beautiful soft breeze blowing and the humidity is less than 50%, for a Texas beach girl that is nothing short of amazing! There are touristas on the hilly roads running, sweating and making me feel slightly (but only slightly) guilty for not joining them.
I am thinking about I work. Anyone reading this knows that I am a workaholic, one friend even described me to my boss as his favorite extremist. Even though the word might seem a little negative, he is right once I am in I am all in. just like the runners I am currently viewing with mild disdain. So it comes as no surprise I think, that it is hard to just shut that off just because I are in a different location.
However, the Universe sent me a message the minute we landed in Mexico via the phone company. If your phone is on they are charging you roaming data fees. Hmmmm, a decision must be made because I have a company phone. It is my constant companion, 24-7 it stays with me and stays on. Without it I am totally out of touch with work. I am stuck with just plain old me, not executive Catherine, but Cathy, just Cathy. This is scary territory after having been connected for so long to my little friend..
So after an afternoon thought and consideration, I turned it off last night. I checked all my options and my computer for work gets a signal here so I feel a little less disenfranchised. Salty caught me in the act and forced me to turn it off. I felt a little anxious but much more relaxed when I realized I was'nt going to get an alarm call from one of the stores last night or for the next sixteen days.
The work I am thinking about is not really what is going on there but what is going on here, inside my head..
My Mexican minutes have started, my work minutes put on hold, they will be there when I get back. I'm still not running any of these hills!
