Tomorrow, after 4 months of unemployment, I return to the land of the salaried. I now have an official schedule to keep and responsibilities to fulfill beyond showering, cleaning my house, caring for the cats and job hunting. I’m looking forward to the pay check and know that I am very fortunate to have found a gig relatively quickly. The economy really is as bad as the media makes it seem and there have been a few scary moments as the savings drain from the bank. But all things lead to bigger and better- even the bad situations.

I preparing to work and start a year of prerequisite classes for chiropractic college (shhhh, don’t tell my job). Allistair and I have enjoyed every single moment of spending almost every single second with each other over the last 4 months. The loss of jobs, moving cities, the stress of money issues, and just life in general could be a lot to put a wedge in a relationship. We are thankful that in our lives, we have have continued to grow closer and stronger. Communication comes east to us and we truly trust in the other in our darkest moments. The stresses of the last few months could have turned us sour but, in fact, we are sad to be forced apart by this thing called a job. I’m already looking forward to coming home after work to tell him all about it.

This is a huge year and time in my life and I guess I better get a jump on packing a lunch, ironing clothes and getting to bed. Got to ready to impress day one!
