16 days of Freedom

That's what I have been calling my countdown to start my new full time job. I am so excited to start working again, but you can't beat not working. I told my uncle recently that I wanted to just skip to retirement, but actually I am looking forward to working again.

There will be a couple of things that I miss, but mostly I am looking forward to my new schedule. It amazes me that so many people in my life are starting new phases of their lives too. Close friends are pregnant or just had a baby, my cousin is starting law school, my sister is starting a PhD program, my sister is starting a new job, my mom is changing jobs. This is some big stuff, but all of it is good.

But as I look at the next two weeks, I have a lot of fun to have and some little projects that I wanted to get down this summer. So, the countdown has begun. On today's agenda: grocery shopping, finish making some baby blankets, have dinner with a friend. Let's say it will be a day of 75% fun and 25% need to get stuff done!
