I’m proud of myself because I stuck with it for a full week for once! It feels great to be working out although I do wish I would see some changes. The timing of this week isn’t the best, but at the same time, it’s great because my expectations aren’t higher than they should be. I suppose I should give myself credit for making some progress - my third run I decided to go a little longer and on my 2nd round of workout A, I went heavier on most of the exercises. I cleaned most of the day on Saturday, so even on my off day I was not a total bum!

Things are starting to happen with my job and I’m excited about it. I met with some people on Friday who are helping with the transition and start of this new company. This time feels much different than when I started my job back in February. We’re sort of in the same place, but I think everyone (the people helping this time are not the same group as before) is on top of things and willing to make things happen. I go tomorrow to help find an office space, so unfortunately it looks like I’ll soon be losing my job without a commute, but I think that’s something I can live with. Steven and I will definitely need to adjust since working from home won’t have quite the same “hours” as working an hour away will, but I did it in San Antonio and Little Rock, so I know we can manage. I’m happy that I’ll soon have real work and a real office. As much as I have loved working at home, getting up and getting dressed/ going somewhere to work will probably be good for me. I enjoy feeling like a productive member of society and being able to work from home in my PJs doesn’t give me quite the same satisfaction as going to an office looking presentable to someone other than Big Kitty and Pancake.

I’m looking forward to being busy again. I don’t think I could do it with my out of whack thyroid, but now that that’s under control, I feel normal like I did when I was in San Antonio and very much able to juggle a job and other responsibilities. Steven now works more often so that’s a nice change from the time we spent in San Antonio when most of his “workday” was spent on the couch playing Halo or Rock Band since he had so much downtime during his training. It was tough some days to go to work while he was still in bed and only had to get up to play video games. I hope I can juggle work, all my volunteer activities, keeping the house clean, working out, and keeping us fed! I feel like I’ll be fine as long as I keep up with everything and stay organized. One thing I need to figure out how to add to the mix – my classes! I’m thinking I’ll just have to try to fit them in during lunch and maybe when I’m all caught up at work (if that ever happens?).
