Well, after almost three years away from the workplace, I started a temporary position about two weeks ago. Due to my husband's work hours being down and my need for a different car, it seemed the only rational way to deal with current issues. I have to admit it was a bit serendipitous that about the same time I started looking for either a very part time position or a temporary situation, an eye clinic posted an ad looking for some one to cover a maternity leave. So while I drag my feet every day I go, I am at the same time grateful to be doing some thing I know and also know it won't be forever. At least I didn't end up working at McDonalds or housekeeping at a motel. Not that I look down on these places of employment at all; it's just not the place for me.
I am keenly aware of how nice it was to get up every day with the knowledge that I was in control of my choices. Now when I have a day off, I cherish every single moment. I love being able to go back to bed since I am an early riser. I love having time to read or work outside in the garden. I love doing things at my own pace.
Slowly I am getting back in the groove of doing things in the evening or morning before I leave. So far I have still been able to put my clothes on the line before I go to work; just have to check the weather to make sure they won't get soaked.
Right now three months seems like a long time, but in my life experience I know it will come and go very quickly and hopefully I can be back doing what I love the most.
