Post or Sleep?
I want to post but I'm pretty sleepy and I am afraid my post may be mighty weak tonight. Also my mouse is freaking out and every few minutes the cursor jumps somewhere random. Hmmmm
I am curious how things will go come January 5th... my first day of work and the introduction of Daddy holds the fort down two mornings a week. One thing that I'm expected is that Tovi will lessen her mommy preference once she gets used to relying on Dad for comfort. I've noticed whenever we have a vacation or a long weekend she goes to him more often. Taran interacts equally with us but is 99.9% a mama's boy.
I will be sharing a 3 person office which is going to be odd. If I was half time I'd have my own since I'm a Senior Research somethingorother but 10 hours means I'm squished in whereever there's room. Fortunately I know my office mates. Unfortunately one of them is a Pack Rat. I'm certain he is not thrilled that he will have to get rid of mountains of stuff to clear space for me. I honestly won't need more than room for my computer and a small file cabinet but I know I'll regret it if I communicate anything like that and it's best to lay claim to a third of the office. Experience tells me this. In the past I've been exceptionally considerate in these situations and it set some bizarre tone that makes things weird. I've learned it's better to give back what you don't need rather than turn it down at the onset. Anyway...
I'm going to be crazy missing Tovi when I'm at work at first. Taran's been attending preschool for awhile so I'm used to his absence but I miss him as well from time to time. I suspect I will appreciate the break from parenting. My work will not be so glamorous for awhile but I should be able to sort out a paper or two from it and grow the position to something more interesting.
...and I am growing sleepy so buenas noches
