Looking Forward!
I'm still alive. Exhausted and with very sore feet but surviving!
As per my last post I am working two jobs right now - doggy daycare and the craft store. I told my craft store manager I was leaving and she took it pretty well. I gave her three weeks notice (taking me up until I leave for Christmas back home) but that means a lot of work right now. I am off today for the first time in two weeks. I just worked 12 days in a row. I have two off (which took some doing, let me tell you...) and then work another 9 in a row. But then I am gloriously free from the 22nd until the 4th! Half of that is being spent back home with my family and the other half will be spent wrangling my ridiculous house into some sort of order (and taking lots of naps). And once I do go back to work it will only be three days a week at the dog job, where I hang out with rowdy dogs all day and can take my own rowdy dog to work with me!
I am really enjoying the dog job, and while it isn't all cuddles and puppy kisses (we had to break up a pretty big brawl yesterday and I spend a lot of time outside in the rain getting cold and muddy) I am actually happy to go to work. This is a very new and different feeling for me.
So once I get through the next 11 days my life will settle down into a new normal routine where I have a set schedule, where I don't dread going to work, where I have lots of time to go to the studio, to make and post more items in my etsy shop and to write and write and write. I will have time to grocery shop, to do laundry and to finally (finally!) see some friends again. It will be heavenly and I cannot wait!
