The times, they are a Changin’

Hey friends! Remember me? This has been A WEEK. All caps required. Let’s catch up, shall we?

• Tuesday my mouth started hurting. Reminiscent of my April issues where I had an infection. I got antibiotics and pain killers. The pain pills made me so sick to my stomach that I ended up getting sick before, during and after work yesterday. I managed to get myself sent home AND only kept down 2 Popsicles yesterday. So I’m down 3 pounds. I guess that’s a Win? Not a way I like to lose.
• Dentist tomorrow to see what the problem is. I’m so over it.
• I went to my new job to sign some papers Tuesday and found out some awesome new perks and benefits, making me very excited to start there next month!
• For example: I get my own office(!) with a bathroom inside it! and a window! and I get all the holidays and weekends off! No more working Husker Football games!!!  I get 2 weeks paid off at Christmas. No Joke. And it doesn’t count against my vacation time (18 days of PTO a year). I’m deliriously happy about the Christmas thing. 401(K) match, and so much more. I feel like I’m dreaming. Please don’t wake me up if I am.
• I signed the Exit Paperwork at the station today. So very surreal. It has been nearly 11 years that I’ve been with The Ocho. So strange to think that next week is it. My last hurrah. There will be tears.
• I’ve been working on future schedules for the newsroom. That’s weird too. There will be new faces and new names that I won’t know personally. So odd. 
• I’m almost done at Corky. That’s odd too. I’ll miss that place. 
• A part of me feels like I’m starting a new path, the grownup path, of my life. Like I’m on the edge of something great. A major change in my life. 

And I like it. Feels good friends.
