Today is a bittersweet day. It was my last day my dream job.
About a year ago, I found this job randomly. It's one I've been searching for since college, but I never knew if it actually existed in real life or only in my mind. When I found it, I was ecstatic. I applied immediately, did phone interviews, in-person interviews, and was hired. Seriously. The job combined all my favorite things... old people, exercise, and enough paperwork to make any OCD/anal retentive organizer happy. Heaven.
The last few months have gotten increasingly more difficult. I've decided my body was not made to carry children, especially a horse the size of Baby G. With my increasing level of pain and swelling, Bob and I decided I should go ahead and stop working well before Baby arrives, mainly because certain aspects of my job were no longer doable.
So. Today was my last day, with a promise from my regional boss that I'll have a spot there in the future should I choose to return someday. So for now, I'm classifying myself as a "Lady Who Lunches" mainly with Auntie Jess. Then once Baby arrives, I'll be a stay at home mom.. something I never thought I'd be. But here we are! Now all I need is a BABY!!!
