Things I miss now that I have a LOT less free time:
1. Being able to sleep in until noon. I now awake at 430-445am most mornings to go to work. "Sleeping in" now means sleeping until 8.
2. Having quality time with my cats. I usually come home and eat and go to bed. I'm lucky if I get cuddle time with one. But once in a while, that changes. Like right now. Mr Prince, my NOT lap cat, is on my lap happily. Though I had to pick his heavy lard@ss up. But he stayed... well, for a half hour!
3. Being able to write a blog whenever an idea comes by me. My best thinking seems to come while I'm working, when I don't have TIME to stop and even write down the thought. Not like I'd remember my train of thought later.
4. Being able to just go out on a walk anytime. Walking is a chore now, with my sore, worn out, used and abused legs.
5. Eating and enjoying the food. Now lunch is inhaled, tongue burned by hot food, and then very noisily processed a couple minutes later. Thank goodness it's so loud at work no one can hear my stomach over the alarms, bells, clanking, and other noises!
6. Time. Time to take a long hot shower. Time to hang out with neighbors. Time to just sit and chat online with friends. I have a lot less time.
Things I'm thankful for now that I'm working:
1. I can afford my White Willow for my back. It's already having an impact.
2. My joints are cracking less, with the exception of my shoulders.
3. Increased leg tone and definition.
4. I seem to be more tolerant of the cold - outside. Inside is not the same though.
5. The feeling of appreciation outside of those within my four walls.
6. Mr. Cat has dutifully taken over the dishes and sometimes other housework. I have had to do very little in the 3 weeks I've been working. I've also been given a very joyously relaxing and peaceful day off Wednesday.
Things I still want:
1. More money in my savings. LMAO
2. My benefits to kick in. 2 more months.
3. A solid, deep sleep, which has eluded me as of late.
4. A solid cuddle session with Curzon.
5. Two days off in a row. Without having to wait 8 days for another.
6. The coveted Station 4. Manager was made aware of my desire today.
7. The ultimate job - office job, data entry or whatever... the fewer people in office, the better.

Glad to hear that you are getting some satisfaction out of knowing that you are doing the best that you can and that others are appreciating your efforts. Good too to have more contacts outside of the home isn't it?
