2. Thank you

I’ll be all right, I just don’t like this big of a change to my schedule/structured week, especially when combined with mandatory family time. It’s a double whammy.

I think in the past few years the 25th didn’t fall a day or two before out usual “weekend” days, so I didn’t have such a long stretch of days off. I love my family very much, but preferably in small doses. We’ve already seen a lot of each other the past couple weeks, and under stressful (finance related) circumstances.

When I’m working I feel good and useful. Productive. And I like that my boss and coworkers trust and depend on me. I’m not so great at managing time when left to my own devices. No danger of relapse, more a danger of getting too far inside my own head. Then feeling guilty because I didn’t get a damn thing done except lay around with the cats reading and messing around online. The cats will be very happy though, lol!
