So Sorry, but times have been tough. Since December, I took on a new role as nursing assistant manager and it has never quite settled in. At first, I thought it was just the "newness" of the position and getting used to the responsibilities. Then as time went on and the stress level never decreased, I tried to "handle it". Well, it eventually handled me, and I had to make a choice, give it up and go back to a more sane place in life, or keep running on that treadmill hoping that eventually I could learn to deal. It became a no brainer when it began to affect my health...... step down, and return to a slower pace of life.
Low and be hold, the slower days, less stress, and slower pace are even taking some getting used to. Who woulda thunk it??? Having to find myself something to do at work to keep my eyes open when the phones not ringing (that hasn't been a problem for the last year!!) Don't worry, I will quickly adapt. I am thoroughly enjoying my four days off a week. Two days a week with Chuck and two days a week alone. Sweetness!
Now I have a new old routine back, and hopefully Sunday mornings will once again be for writing a line or two. Boy does this familiar schedule and way of life feel good. I appreciate it more the second time around. Most of my life I never liked Sunday; I don't know why. I cannot think of a better way to spend Sundays than working. And I really enjoy the people I work with as well. That makes it that much sweeter.
Good to see you back Dawn. And I am glad you old routine is new again :)
