After three months out sick and another month where I was lucky enough to be able to work at home, I had forgotten just how much work it is to, well, go to work. Nine hours a day in the office (including lunch time) plus over an hour and a half of total commute time means I'm not at home very much during the week. Even though I'm feeling a lot better we're back to eating a lot of takeout and convenience meals and our laundry is piled up very high. I'm thinking of hiring the laundry pixies again to wash and fold it for me. It's either that or we spend a couple of hours on Sunday doing family laundromat time.
It is very nice to have some income again though. We've managed to pay all of my medical bills now and put a little bit of money into savings. If we keep this up we'll even be able to comfortably get Christmas presents for everyone this year and still be able to make my student loan payments. That would be nice.
Saturday is Kaitlin's school's Silly Olympics. (Yes, we just did that back in May, they've decided to move it to a Fall event instead of Spring.) That should be a lot of fun and I think I'll be able to hang out longer this time. I've got to remember to bring the camera. It's been way too long since I've spammed my friends with kid photos. :p
