Changes!

Excitement! Anxiety! Hooo boy.
I want to talk about this, but I can't let coworkers see it until I'm ready to turn in my notice, so this is the only safe place I have to mention it. My best friend and his husband just adopted a baby (six weeks old now) and my best friend has been on maternity leave but will need to go back to work soon. I've been having issues with my anxiety which have prevented me from working for a while, because it's manifesting as agoraphobia now (though I still technically have my job). My friends wanted a full time nanny so...
Pretty soon, I'm going to be a live-in nanny at their place. There's still details to work out (I need to give notice at work, and at my apartment). I'm not going to have any expenses besides my phone and food, but I'm going to be poooooor. So I'll probably start trying to sell my plushies in earnest. Oh yeah, I haven't been posting anything in a while. I'm going to have to start doing that soon.
So yeah. Going from living alone and working in a call center to living with two married men and their baby and being a nanny. From making pretty darn good money to making so little that I could probably technically be on welfare. But this is good, because with my medical issues, I'm not getting paid right now and I've used all my FMLA, so there's not much time left before my work can fire me if I can't return full time. So, better to give notice and have a plan for what to do next.
