Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 16

Today's Daily 5:

1. Waking up with my face resting on a soft pillow that I inherited when L. left the country
2. reading a novel that I'm absolutely loving
3. the beginnings of a morning routine taking shape
4. wearing a pretty necklace and earrings
5. sunshine outside my office window, after two days of cold and rain
6. the smell of the lily bouquet that overtakes you as you enter the office
7. curling up with a book on my lunch hour
8. managing several transit and friend connections that had me trekking the length of the city
9. starting a new study at house church tonight
10. happy moments shared with friends

Back at Work

So, today marks my fourth day back in the office.

My fourth day of getting up at the rather ungodly hour of 5:30 am, and trying to be in bed early enough at night to make that time of the morning slightly less painful.  My fourth day of hoping and praying that my body adapts to this crazy new schedule sometime soon.

As jobs go, this one is just okay.

It has me thinking a lot about atmosphere in offices again.  About people, and how the people in a place shape and contribute to the atmosphere in a place. 

This isn't the happiest place.

But, for now, it pays well.  It provides some security and certainty for the next several months as I wait to hear the latest news on school.

And I'm thankful for that.

So, I get up at ungodly hours, and live contrary to my nature by going to bed nice and early, and I choose to be thankful.

And I happily anticipate Saturday morning, on which I don't plan to emerge from bed until at least 11:00 am!
