Hello New Chapter In My Life

And now I am officially a 'housewife', at least for the summer. My last day of work was today, and the plan is to take the summer to get Charlie (and myself) acclimated to the neighbourhood and look for a job type thing in the vacinity.

I could have kept my job, but it's just a bit too long of a commute; I really didn't get paid enough to make it worth it, and I don't like to be that far from Charlie, in case something happens, and, well, summer off, so yay, but I'm feeling SO sad right now because I really liked my job, and I really liked the people. It feels weird that I'm not going to be a part of them any more.

They gave me a lovely send off; got flowers and a card, and we went out to a happy hour. It was really the nicest job I ever had; and as you know, I've had a lot of them. That place saved my life. It gave me work and stability, and my bosses were very understanding about me being a single mother. Never once did I feel like they were marking me down for having to stay home with Charlie, or leave early or anything. That time Charlie got pushed down in the park and was freaking out, my boss shooed me out the door.

They were great.

But the really nice thing is I can be out of work without panicking about money. It's a whole new experience. I am going to get a job, but I don't have to be a breadwinner; I can just get a job I enjoy so I can save for Charlie's education, and for holidays and stuff.

And I'm getting packed up to move out of the flat; but that's a whole other introspective post, I think.
