Upcoming move + back to work after 15 months

[hypatia42]

We are prepping for finding a new place with less stairs and less maintenance and hopefully less noise. The past year has been hell on my hypervigilance issues. How does one figure out what you won't need for the unknown future? Its making me a little nuts.

I also started back to work a the beginning of June. I am loving it really. The people I work with are lovely. Its a small team but we are all dedicated to making it work. I work 18 hours a week. After 15 months of being unemployed and stressed beyond belief, getting used to working again has been difficult. My hours are offset by one hour earlier from my previous schedule and that is proving harder to adapt to than I expected.

The work transition on its own would be hard enough but having to pack up house while physically and mentally exhausted? Yeah. No bueno. Monday and Tuesday are my see the doctor and the physical therapist days so its not like I have those as down days to get things done.

Chronic illness affects far more of my life than I like to admit. *sigh*

Your market is likely inflated because of location.

6 hours, 3 days a week.

Switching schedules even by just an hour can be hellish and take way longer than expected. Fingers crossed for the perfect house for you. If you ever just want to chat just give me a call and I'll do the same.

[hypatia42]

I would love to chat with you. I do better with scheduled events because nothing exists unless it gets on my calendar.

[evaelisabeth]

What's your schedule like during the week? We could try for the weekend but everything gets lobbed there and if you are free earlier in the afternoon sometime between noon and 3pm your time that could work.

[hypatia42]

I don't work Mondays and Tuesdays. Often that means I am using those days for doctors appointments but I can make time in my schedule. What does next Tuesday look like for you?

[evaelisabeth]

Next Tuesday sounds lovely, Shall I send you a Zoom link, would you prefer earlier or later I can do as early as noon or as late as 3pm if you want me lucid.

[hypatia42]

Noon should be fine. You cool with adding Wendy? We often hang out on Tuesday.

[evaelisabeth]

No problem adding Wendy.
