So, I am no longer unemployed. I had an interview on Friday afternoon, and about 6pm I got a call offering me the position. So yes- I will be working for another web solutions company- this time Heritage, not Everest. It’s a very different environment than my last job- to which I say, “Thank you, God.” I’m just looking for something new- something not so emotionally charged. Honestly, I rarely got emotional at work, but the nature of the job was dealing with, understanding, and writing about other people’s emotions. In this new company, I’ll be in charge of payroll. I think it’ll be a relief and a change. They’ll train me, I’ll contribute, and go home. I’m looking forward to learning a new skill and proving to myself that I can still adapt and learn new things. And, although there are some people (namely my past employers) that wouldn’t believe it, I actually spent a lot of time during the week/weekends/evenings thinking about/working on stuff for the book. Now I’ll spend my evenings going to a yoga class I signed up for, working on other classes, furthering my own projects and goals, and my newest favorite thing to talk about:
Being Pregnant. 
Yes. I am pregnant. We weren’t going to tell so early- but then I almost blew up trying to contain the secret, and we decided to just let it out. I’m about 5 weeks, and the baby is probably due in September/October time frame. We’ll have a more precise date when I see the doctor in a couple of weeks. I’m so excited. It’s hard, of course, to realise how painful aspects of this is going to be (yeah, a little scared, not going to lie) and how my focus will shift from my own grownup wants and desires to a little person’s- but I’m confident I will still be able to pursue the worthy goals I have. Whenever I get too overwhelmed with thinking about how much schooling I have left to accomplish to be able to do what I want to do (still figuring that out, by the way, but I’m sure it will involve a masters at least, if not a PhD) John tells me that we’ll work it out. More than anything, I know this is right. Who knows what will happen- life is changing pretty rapidly lately. But it’s all good. Overwhelming, terrifying, exhilarating, more overwhelming, but good. So exiting and good. Now I won’t have to be heartbroken when we see the little chairs at IKEA. Time to get one!
