Full time employment: Posting here.
Today is my first Monday free of wage slavery! My last day was officially Friday January 21st. Friday night SO and I went out for a nice steak dinner to celebrate, and Saturday afternoon we gathered with some close friends at a local winery to continue the festivities.
Sunday was amazing! Normally I'm out running around to take care of errands and get groceries for the week. Not yesterday - I relaxed and binge watched 'Alone' on Hulu most of the day Last night there was no stress as the mind wandered back to new w*rkweek ahead.
This morning I woke up around the same time (even with the alarm off) so I'm guessing it will take some time to really adjust to life without the 9 to 5. So far I'm enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee (and not slurping it down during my commute) and watching the morning news. Later I'll head out for groceries when the store is (hopefully) empty. Then maybe a few chores around the house, a leisurely lunch, then an afternoon workout. After that whatever I want until dinner.
I have a few projects on my list to keep me occupied if I do get bored - I have many old photos that need organizing, my closet is in real need of a cleanout. I plan to take over our veggie garden from SO - but I have a brown thumb so I'll need to read up on how to properly do so. I also signed up for a 10k in April and hoping to get back to running. I also want to add strength training into my workout routines.
Our big trip this year will be a Galapagos cruise at the end of June. It will feel amazing to not have to worry about w*rk during that trip!
I can't believe I crossed the finish line. I will have to pinch myself a few times this week
