Artist: We Are Scientists Song: After Hours [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" Prompt: Tell us something uplifting! We need good news now more than ever. What is something positive that happened or is about to happen in your life? What has made you smile recently? First of all, I'm just excited to see so many people signed up to 30DBC this month. There are a lot of new faces, old faces, and even faces I dragged in kicking and screaming just because I enjoy blogging with them. Let's have a good month together. I'll try not to be too emotional/offensive (because I have a tendency to be both). I guess that’s the first bit of uplifting news! We have another monthly challenge upon us where we can write with old friends and get to know new ones. Good news is absolutely in short supply now, but despite my previous ranting and my currently unstable mental health status, I do have a lot to be thankful for. As most of you know, I graduated college in December and managed to land a really good role in my field straight away. That job is still going well even with everything else going on. My job hasn’t been affected yet (knock on wood) by everything that’s happening. In fact, my work flow is smoother than ever. My coworkers and I really like being able to share our screen with each other to work through things together virtually without risking getting each other sick. My work-life balance has also become a lot easier to manage without the morning and evening commute, plus the time spent getting ready in the morning. No, I’m not one of those people who wakes up early every morning and gets ready for work from home to put me in the “work” mood. I’m enjoying my extra hour and a half of sleep. On top of that, I’m moving soon and I’m pretty excited about it. My current place holds a lot of memories because I’ve been here for quite a while. I did most of my schooling here though, so I think it’s a good idea to move on from that place where I panicked through university. The new place is a bit bigger so we’ll have a little more space that we’ve been needing for a while. Plus, it’s in a quieter neighborhood. So we’re looking forward to that. You see, my wife’s best friend lives with us and we have been managing for many years with only one bathroom. One bathroom! I think they each spend about 4 hours a day in the bathroom so you see why having a second one is good news! Other than that, I’m just trying to stay positive. Trying not to let my anxiety and fears get in the way of the things I need to get done a day-to-day basis. Work and life don’t come to a standstill for anything really. It’s easy for me to say this when I have the ability work from home, but I’ll be an utter wreck when I have to return to the office. In the meantime, just appreciative that my friends and family are healthy and being very safe during this time. And, of course, happy to be able to share another month of blogging with you all. We're finally drunk enough that We're finally soaking up The hours that everyone else throws away |
