January in Ponderings of the Universe

Whenever I come here to write I feel like I don’t have much to say.

There’s been some work fuckery. I am so thankful I didn’t work Friday because it sounded like my poor coworkers had quiet the shit show.

I am so thankful for them, though. Conversations with them have resulted in some true belly laughs. If I only get to socialize with one group of people outside those in my home, I’m pretty cool with it being this group. Truly.

Despite loving my coworkers, my job still does make me very tired. Once Aaron and I combine our finances and figure out house stuff and we make sure his job is stable, I want to see if I can cut back my hours a little. For now, I still want to stay full time because benefits but I could potentially cut back 4 hours per week which would be significant. My ultimate goal is to work three full shifts per week and a half shift every other. I think that would be lovely. I have an extremely finite amount of energy. I realized long ago I need a lot of down time to function well. If I can have both less energy sucked away by work and more time away from it to have both down time and do other human activities, I think I’d feel a lot better. Goals.

I’m doing the 101 in 1001 thing again. I’m terrible about writing here to update on it but I’ll try again! We’ll see if I actually come up with 101 things! The last two times I’ve done it, I haven’t.

I am so relieved we have a new president.
