Pretty Good Week
So I miss my older two kids. Did not see them much this week, but a 30 minute visit with my oldest and his fiance on Thursday night, Lunch with my daughter in law on Wed while working and stopped at my middle's work to say hi on Tuesday so not so bad, just weird as they all half lived here during Christmas and New Years. The quiet was actually kind of nice too.
My youngest will have a job for summer. Not what I wanted, but at least he has something. Had to force him to take it, but he did it.
And my job so far is going great. I love being there, love the people I am working with and am really, really enjoying not being a manager. I went to the manager's meeting on Tuesday as my friend is the substitute manager and she couldn't make it. I sat there for 4 hours and was just so relieved and happy none of it was my problem. I took notes and took it and dumped it all on my friend. I feel so bad for her, but I am so happy and stress free. I am a bit worried about the lesser amount of money I will make, but a girl quit and so I am getting her hours and have been assigned her clients. She had 250. I had 350 at my old place, but 250 is still a lot and a great start to build back up. No bonus for the office, but maybe not as big of a pay cut as I thought.
I did have one panic attack this week, but mostly I felt good. I also managed to walk on the treadmill 4 times. Only half a mile each time, but it is a start. I also ate pretty good 3 of the 5 days. Would love to take off some weight by my son's wedding. Thinking maybe not being the manager I can keep my stress eating under control and try.
It is so nice to feel positive about some things for a change.
