Feeling Normal
For the first time in err...7 months, I feel normal. I think the two weeks off from job#2 was not only a long time coming, but is finally sinking in. The last 3 afternoons I have done nada. Matter of fact, when I got in today, I took a nap!
When I went to lunch I realized how normal I felt and wondered why it took 3 days to sink in. I think it's cuz, my schedule tends to be 1 day on, 2 days off, 2 days on, etc etc. So it had to be something unusual, like 3 days in a row and realizing I won't be back in that building for 2 whole weeks to grasp that I'm really really off.
My biggest struggle was the loss of income, but when it got to the point I didn't even care I knew I needed to take some time off. I have one full week pay, about 15 hours to get next week. Then the next check will only have a week on it too, since the first week of that pay period is part of my break. Oh well, my bills will keep ;)
Once I feel up to it, I will update my progress for month 8, does it even matter where I am @ 6 months in? I was supposed to do that too. I think I avoided it b/c in a way I just want to see the year end numbers and not feel pressured, I dunno, maybe I'll update that as well.
Next week I have orientation, I'm not sure when my actual start date will be, I'm still in a bit of limbo, but even that I'm not rushing. Instead I'm planning a day trip out of town, we were going to do a 2 night thing but need more time to research so put that off till mid October, so I have the next 2 weekends free. This weekend will be to catch up on personal stuff which will leave next weekend to go away for the day.
Then I'll be back to juggling 3 gigs...joy!
