life
It has been a literal eternity since I have come here and posted anything meaningful. I guess you could say I am settling back in to the routine of employment and regular hours and having time for *me* again, and I am loving every minute of it. It’s a cool fall day today (finally in the high 40s/low 50s), and I got up and went to an early spin class (which was everything), came home and snuggled up to finish “Where the Crawdads Sing” for bookclub (OMG cannot recommend more highly, I LOVED it), and took the pupper for a long walk. Now I’m getting ready to put some chilli on the stove for dinner and try to do some final unpacking. I told myself that I’d go get a library card today, go grocery shopping, etc. but I am thinking that can wait until tomorrow. My book took up so much time (could not put it down) so now I would rather just be snug at home with my sweet girl.
Work is going well. I will transition this week to staff training with my license anticipated to be approved this week. That’s most excellent news, as I feel like I will finally get a real understanding of what to expect with work. I remain a bit scared that I won’t be as challenged in this position as I would prefer, but I am also trying to remind myself that it is OKAY to settle down and just enjoy life for a bit instead of struggling on the daily to keep my head above water. I am settling in to my new apartment, planning to hang photos today, and starting to plan for the adult purchases (TV stand, TV, Peloton...!!!) I will finally be able to afford with my paycheck.
These are the moments that I waited for for 27 months, and they are finally here. I am so grateful. I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
