A Lazy Day

Thus far today it has been a lovely lazy day. Somehow I managed to get a weekend off of work. Burnout threatened to destroy any ounce of sanity I was clinging to. I hate who I become when I get like that. But alas ~ a load seems to have been lifted from my shoulders at last.

Much to my relief, I've learned that I will not be moving on into the second round of interviews! I haven't had news that good in what seems like a long time. I can now focus on getting through until the new person is hired, training them on our programs & the boat, and finally going back to my normal relaxed schedule of 32 to 35 hours a week and not having to deal with crap I wasn't hired on to deal with. I am looking forward to letting my life get back to normal. And even though that won't be happening for some time still (mid-August/ September... Realistically - not until the new guy is trained right - aka the end of October). But there is now light at the end of the tunnel, and I can breathe easier with the knowledge that the end is in sight.

At some point I can start to look into grad school more seriously & begin that journey. That's still a ways off though, so I'll cross that road when it gets closer. But it's good know I can return to original plan.

Yesterday Randy & I spent our day at Maumee Bay State Park with his family. Then back to his Dad's place for dinner, a dip in the pool & a campfire. Nothing like a day to just hang out and do as little as possible in the company of great people! It was a much needed break for my body, my mind, my emotions, & my spirit.

I haven't done much today either. I've watched some great weekend PBS, eaten a great breakfast & lunch, gotten caught up on some blogs, & am going to see a matinee showing of a documentary at the cheap movie theater that has now added artsy/indie/documentary films to their normal second run movie choices. Movie theater popcorn will be an awesome addition to this day off!
