Butterflies | Week in the life RCD

Hello RCD readers,

Good or bad but I still get butterflies in my belly. Still fall in love hahaha. 

The week has almost come to an end and it was a blessed week. 

Project GD

Monday I contacted the client if she had corrections or additions. Because she never gotten back with her feedback in December.  And her feedback this week was the bedrooms needed to become bigger. It brought my planning in confusion because my goal this week was:

- cross sections

- beam and column plan

- concrete 2nd floorplan

- staircase detail and last

- facades

Now it took awhile to find the hours for sketching work but after taking a must needed break for myself Wednesday afternoon. I finally made the layout corrections yesterday early in the morning and messaged her the same day. So now ofcourse that means the area m2 is a little bit bigger. Which means I have to pay the engineer more than expected Sunday when I double checked his prices. Today I'll follow up to see if she agrees with the changes or if I can go further with the drawings.

Project Dream

Yesterday I met my client from November.  She wants a whole dream design. Now I drove there and went past the site because I couldn't find it right away. She discussed with the contractor about the fence. And tried to explain what she wanted. I have an idea. It's a real fun project. So I hope I do her justice and make it an beautiful design. Today I'll sketch out what I can. And ofcourse when I can home I got a hug with sweet boys saying they really missed me.

* side note ; I saw an old acquaintance. One that we kind of had a disagreement about boundaries and professionalism.  Which I let him speak last year and not correct for the third time. Yes this has happened multiple times. Mostly because they find it completely normal. And I'm the odd man out. Because I noticed sometimes people will make it a career out of not understanding your perspective nor your boundaries. And explaining is a waste of both our times. Like when I asked him to not call but message. You should respect that and not call consistently to get your way. And think you will get a response. Most importantly asking me what the reason was so I could justify my request. That is downright disrespectful. But I kept it respectful and did my job. Because let's face it. I'm not the one to break anybody in my field. The company does great work and I will always sent referrals if somebody asks and if they are a right fit for my client. My disagreements will never mean breaking somebody's business nor character.  Not everyone will click but sometimes you just have to stay professional and move on.

Moving forward

Tuesday my boss called me about the new balletschedule. First to vent and  catch up. And where we would give ballet classes. Plus which days she could take. We are starting Monday with everything. A friend asked me if I would stay Friday for the last hour. But I don't think that will be possible.  Mostly because I would have to stay two hours longer.  So this week I'll go to each of my old classes and see what happens. Support and go with the flow.

Recap of this week

This week began with follow ups and sometimes no responses. To finally hearing what our next step is for the balletschool. To paying my personal work expenses and the administration work for this week. To feeling stuck with work. And getting butterflies for a site visit. Which I found really weird. Because I thought I outgrew that. To getting a call from a December client confirming she is going to come in February for her appointment.  Which made me really happy and honoured that she might be choosing my services. To getting that must needed blogging writing bug. To must a needed break with a friend.  To hearing someone special calling me that she is going to choose not giving up and fighting cancer. To connecting with New people via my socials and reintroducing myself for potential new client's and followers. To getting an client message that their project from 2020 building phase has started up again after stagnation (over the moon happy for my client and no I won't be sharing that).

Prayer for a special person in my life

Dear Lord, We pray for your guidance and presence during this operation. We pray for the unity needed to get through this together. We pray the operation and healing after are both an success.  We pray that the beautiful blessings this year they get to witness and enjoy fully. Lord the thought of this with my numbed self does keep me crying. Every single one of us. I've lost two grandmother's because of this. One fought this battle two times and lost the second battle. And the other never fought. She wanted to celebrate her birthday with her family and not a hospital recovering from an operation.  This time I would love to see somebody fight this battle and win it my Lord.  In Jesus name we pray Amen.

Ps. Your little Rosa Bitta ❣
