Busy

Life suddenly got busy. I was working part-time and enjoying the free time but not the measly paycheques. It was worth it though for the rest, relaxation, and sanity. But I've also been sick and allowed to make up my sick days which means I went in to work today on what was supposed to be my day off. I can't complain though, working for the schools is fabulous (despite germy kids who make you sick +++)...3 weeks off at Christmas. Cha ching!

And more about busy...a job came up that I couldn't resist applying for. Curriculum development. WTF?! I know! That seems like such an 'adult' job and I can't believe I applied for it. A friend encouraged me and to be honest, I'm so glad she did. I was looking for work outside of the typical therapy world of SLP and I've also never really appreciated my own talents and ten+ years of expertise. So this feels like a big stepping stone for me. I'm excited but also sense the huge challenge ahead. The nicest part is that I can work from home or anywhere. AWESOME. Not that I would like that all the time, I love being in a work environment where there are other people, but this is a nice detour.

Tonight I'm heading to return a favor. A friend dropped off cookies at my door last week. Just because. So I made some pumpkin gobs which are now in the tin she loaned me and ready to be driven to her house tonight. People amaze me. I am so fortunate to have so many GENUINELY kind-hearted, go-out-of-your-way, compassionate, and conscientious friends in my life.

Then its back home to relax before another busy day of errands and thankfully, a short coffee date. I'm already looking forward to next weekend and its only MONDAY! LOL.
