Gah. Life is changing rapidly but I need to recharge by doing nothing for a long, long while first. Long story short, I will be focusing on recovering health and wellness starting sometime next week, with other people taking over what I do at my workplace. I'll have to deal with paperwork to get on my husband's insurance, but oh well.
The timing really sucks too because I've gotten some seriously mad props for my awesome work and for going above and beyond what I'm supposed to do, and that letter is definitely frameable. I heard that the executive director sent copies to The Board of the workplace, which amazed me, and I was asked to pass along props from my program manager to send out as well, because "the feds never say anything nice about anyone!"
Hopefully when I get back to tip-top shape I can go back and do more helpful stuff in one of various areas (research, healthcare, disaster preparedness), but I've got many many plans for the long-term interim. Like cleaning my home and finally getting everything in order (fully moving in after 5+ years). Like photography. Like small business work. Like pimping my husband's mad art skills. Like working on my posture and getting into shape. Like having more fun and traveling a bit. Like staying zen more constantly.
I can't wait. :)
