The last few weeks have been unbelievable. I left my job of five years for a couple of days and returned. The new position was nothing that I expected. I guess I expected so much, like the hours that they promised and a desk. *eyeroll*

I missed my desk, I miss the independence of making decisions. I missed my comfy chair, my clean desk, my precious phone. Those days I spent their will not go in vain, I have managed to learn some things. I learned that I should not take the things I have for granted. I have a lot and that is a true lesson learned on my part. Things have not really changed in the few days that I was gone but I do see a greater appreciation for the things that I do. I also notice that I am strangely receiving more credit for my efforts. I am grateful for the slight change.

The weeks leading up to my departure were so stressful that I feel behind in my thesis, I am hoping to catch up this week. I have managed to read a couple of books to keep my sane. I was lucky enough to be part of the BlogHer book club. I wrote a review of Geraldine Brooks’ new novel Caleb’s Crossing on BlogHer.

I am truly thankful for the things that keep me sane. I am sure that without books and Pinterest I would lose my mind. I also kept the little sanity that I had left by playing around with the layout on the blog.

I have an announcement soon, I will post links when I can.
