Working it out
I have completed my first full week of work, which is one full day and one half day. It went very smoothly. Very well indeed! I expect that some weeks will be more difficult. But I really enjoyed myself, and actually felt spread evenly instead of very, very thin.
I figured out another bonus very quickly that I hadn't thought of before: listening to my own music. First up: Foo Fighters. As a few know, the man I loved just before Joel was Dave Grohl. When I met Joel I had a little shrine in my Bryant Ave S apartment on the fridge. I was a bit obsessed but was in the middle of a one year self-imposed boyfriend hiatus and felt it was part of that. At least that is how I explained it. Had Mr. Grohl himself come to my Bryant Ave S apt, he would have looked for the quickest way out I am sure.
