I think the rumor (aka social media) has circulated to mostly everyone about my new job. Well...it's true! Almost 4 months of (Fun)unemployment, I am going back to work as a graduate admissions counselor for Webster University! I start next Monday, August 18.
I am not going to lie about my unemployment period being rather emotionally difficult for me in the beginning, which came to me as a surprise. I really thought I was going to absolutely love being unemployed, instead, went through a phase where I felt useless, lazy, and eating up my husband's income. Have you ever felt that way before? In my short period as a working adult, I guess this was the first time I was actively unemployed, and the thought of that was frustrating. Like in earlier posts, I overcame this irrational fear and began enjoying my free time. Ironically, it's sad to let go of that freedom soon! I know, I'm so weird. I complain that I don't have a job, and then I complain again once I get a job!
I am excited to get back to higher education, and graduate admissions. The school offered me a great opportunity at the right time. I am a little nervous because I feel a little out of touch (even if it was just for the summer) with my field, so I am hoping I'll get my groove back quickly.
This afternoon, I was completely surprised by a floral delivery from Mr. And Mrs. B! I seriously have some of the sweetest people in my life. The delivery happened to catch me right before I was leaving for a farmer's market get some fresh flowers. Thank you for beautifying my dining room!
Finally, here are some of the outdoor portraits of Lilly. :) Sure, waking up (much) earlier for work and supporting my doctor husband as a working wife will take some time getting used to again, I will mostly miss spending all day with this cute furbaby. I got her a new toy a few days ago to let her know that she will be alone again for most of the day again. Wait, I am not sure if she actually got that memo, but she is about to find out pretty quickly next week. (Z- let's get a second dog...*hint hint*)
So, thank you for all the texts, phone calls, FB/Instagram comments, and flowers to congratulate me! Time to be a responsible adult again.
