It has come to my attention that during the entire time that I was off for the Thanksgiving holiday that I never once wrote a blog post. Shame on me. Things were not all that busy last week, but I was taking the much needed time to relax and do the things I wanted to do. This week I went back to work and have been playing catch up at the office all week so far because I had three days off last week. At least this is my last week at my old job. I start my new job at Blue Cross on Monday! Excitement all around!
For Thanksgiving my husband, my son and I went to my husband’s Aunt’s house. It was a pretty long drive, but it was worth it once we got there. His Aunt and Uncle have recently moved into the new house and this is their first Thanksgiving there. I have to admit that this house is gorgeous. It’s everything I would want in a home and more. It’s almost 3600sq ft. and worth every foot. Painted in neutral warm tones with a centralized wood fireplace to heat the home it’s very Martha Stewart like without the jail time. The walk in closet off the master bedroom is so big I almost didn’t realize it was a closet. The shower in the master bath is absolutely huge and every little nuance of the house flows together and makes you feel at home. Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful and the desserts were plenty. My son had fun playing with some toys that my husband’s mother brought over for him and we got some quality time to visit with family.
Friday after Thanksgiving I played games on my computer most of the day. I wasn’t about to try to leave the house to go anywhere with it being black Friday and all. I stayed at home gleeful that I was not working retail this year.
Saturday we went to a friends house to play tabletop Dungeons and Dragons. We get together with friends once a week to play. It’s a great way for us to forget about the real world and live outside the box for a few hours. Well Saturday’s session was about 12 hours. We got there at 11am and played until about 11pm. I haven’t done that in years and it was fun yet exhausting all at the same time. As we were all leaving we decided to do it again this week, that was a good game!
Sunday was the realization day that I had tons to do and had done nothing for days. I had to do the grocery shopping as we had no food in the house and we didn’t bring any leftovers home from turkey day. I did that and spent some more quality time playing World of Warcraft on the computer. I never thought that I would get that into a video game, but let me tell you what, I’m addicted and it’s the most fun thing that I have done online in a long time!
Now I’m getting close to the end of my work week and I find myself so nervous about Monday morning. I went this morning to the Blue Cross building and got my badge made and my packet of paperwork to fill out before my first day. It’s real, I really got the job. I’m still young enough that change is a good thing, but those nervous jitters are still there. I know I’ll be fine, but it’s something new that we’ll all have to adjust to.
My son is having a good week at school, my husband and I have agreed to try to find some more time for intimacy and I actually have some spare time to relax lately. Overall I can say that all is well. I may not feel the same by next week, but I’m definitely going to enjoy it while it’s here!
