I start my new job tomorrow. It’s going to be so strange to get up and go to work in the morning. I don’t think I’ll have a problem getting there on time, but it’s definitely going to be an adjustment getting up in the morning every day again. I set an alarm for 6:15, but don’t imagine I’ll get up right away without hitting the snooze button at least once. It’s been so long since I got up that early. I think I’m ready to have a pretty quick morning getting out of here – I’ll write MP, eat some hard boiled eggs I made tonight, take a shower and shave. The coffee pot is also all set up so I should have that going for me right away in the morning. It’s supposed to rain most of the day tomorrow which feels fitting. That also means I’ll need to take the bus to work. Even though I’m not super excited about this, it’s going to be a good thing. And in less than 8 hours I’ll technically be on the clock and making money again.

I don’t anticipate this job being too hard, but I also don’t anticipate liking it that much. It’ll be ok though. I couldn’t help but think after spending some time with my cousins this weekend how they’ve all entered their 30’s much more gracefully than I have. I’ve really dug my heels in and refused to be a part of a lot of things that adults just take for granted – like working jobs they don’t enjoy. I suppose that’s all coming to an end tomorrow. Although really, it probably won’t be that bad. And with any luck I won’t get that bored with this job. Or hopefully it’ll take a while to get to that point.

So close to having a job again

A great weekend seeing all my cousins and other relatives

Tired and ready to get some sleep before my first day back at work!
