Don't worry, I'm totally judging myself

If you read my post from yesterday, you know that I'm going through a fairly major life change. I'm going to take a moment to sound like an overly dramatic douchebag, but hear me out...I feel like I'm losing a huge part of my identity, as I've been so wrapped up in this second job for the better part of 2 years. I don't really remember who I was without it.  I guess I have to find myself again (seriously, I'm judging myself so, so much for this paragraph...I can't believe I'm actually going to post it.) 

I'm excited to focus on things like running, reading, cooking, organizing...and, of course, spending time with friends and family that I've put on the back burner for so long (which, is probably the LAST thing one should EVER put on the back burner.) Maybe I'll attempting gardening again...play more games, do more puzzles, read trashy books, finally learn to sew and quilt on my own. The possibilities are almost endless, I suppose. 

I'm still nervous to see how this is all going to work out. I'm probably most nervous about the cut in income - I'm not sure how balance building my savings while paying off debt and still having a life (another post for another time, but I'm paying off all my credit cards with a personal loan that has a much, much lower interest rate, so I'll finally get ahead in this whole 'paying off debt' adventure.) I'm worried, but I'm also strangely at peace - I don't NEED a lot of things to be happy. I think I've finally, finally learned my lesson and become (wish it happened sooner, but it is what it is.)

This is going to be an interesting transition, but I'm optimistic that it will be a good one. All I can do right now is take things day by day.  I suppose it's time to start getting ready for my second to last Saturday of work at 'the mother ship'. Usually I'd be stressed trying to eat, shower, get dressed and do my hair...but today? I just don't care - I'm taking my time and I'm prepared for what is thrown my way today.
