If there is one thing I am sure of, it is that this summer is going to be more than just coasting by. Erik, Boo, and I are going to DO things. We are going to LEAVE THE HOUSE and be active. We are going to hit splashpads, waterparks, zoos, museums, see friends and family, and enjoy each others' company. Erik and I are going to remember that life is about experience, and Boo's got a lot to catch up on (compared to us).
Last year I spent most of my time still reeling, in shock from the transition from bakery to deli, from one company to the next, to working a solid wall of second shift and feeling cut off from the world. Well, y'know, not much has changed in my work situation since then, but dammit, I am so SICK of it dictating how I am and what my outlook is like. I AM NOT MY JOB. I work to live, but I'll be damned if I live to work. My first priority will always be to myself and my family. My guys are the gravy to my potatoes, the peanut butter to my jelly, and if my mother's death taught me anything, it was to enjoy every damn minute because who the hell knows when it will be your last.
Rise and shine, World. I'm on my way.
