BACK TO WORK

First week back to work was not as I expected at all. It was nice to be back to work. It was nice to get out and have adult interaction. It is funny like I stumble on my words because my only interaction is aaaaa and oooo lately. I feel like I forgot all my adult skills. I decided since I have all these degrees and nothing to do with them why not pursue something at my work, rather than something out there random. Since I graduate again in December, I decided what next. I already lived on a mountain for a month and studied yoga. (Although I would LOVE to go back, bringing a baby there probably wouldnt work.) I decided on environmental science. I want to study global warming. That will keep me busy for awhile longer and keep my student loans off my back.

I never thought I could possibly forget how BAD traffic is. I waste more time driving to and from work than anything else. It takes me 30 minutes to get to the sitters house, 30 minutes from there to get to work. It is amazing how the same route at rush hour takes an hour. I couldn't take the freeway it's a stop and go mess. I have discovered NO ONE likes driving in the hood, so that is my route straight through the projects. I have found it cuts my commute by 30 minutes. Strange thinking10 years ago I was living down the street from the sitters, and who would have ever thought I would be dropping off a baby 10 years later. I could complain but since I only have to drive through the unbearable traffic 3 days a week I do not have much to complain about it could be much worse.

We love our co-workers especially since they have been so nice, and even bought us diapers. I am very fortunate to have such nice people to work with and a place that is welcoming to an unexpected bundle of baby. We are getting a new office. I am sad partially because I have made some friends at this office, and the food downstairs is SO convenient.
