Brand new day

Goodbye vacation and sick time. Goodbye free massages, computers, and meals. Goodbye quiet office to myself and uninterrupted hours to get my work done. Goodbye friends and coworkers, hallway conversations, funny emails. Goodbye stability.

Goodbye soul-sucking commute. Goodbye not seeing my kids for eight hours a day. Goodbye unrewarding paychecks, not giving a shit, and giving too much of a shit. Goodbye job that stopped being right for me a few years ago, and started being actively wrong for me six months ago.

Yesterday I said goodbye to Workplace. Today I am officially a self-employed freelance writer who works from home.

Hello to dreams coming true.

  • Loving, Lately

      space lotion JR Watkins Vanilla is my new favorite body lotion. Love the smell, love the way it feels, love the awesome label design. space bbad I may have mentioned it once or twice, but Breaking Bad is the best thing that has ever happened to television EVER. You should watch it right now. space side_b Bob Book Series Riley has honestly learned to read as a result of these little box sets. Cannot recommend enough. space side_c This applesauce bread from Allrecipes is superfast, supereasy, and the kids love it (I leave out the spices).
