Yeah, OK, so change is good - that's right.  But does it have to be so hard?  I finished 4 days at my new job and I'm tuckered out.

Things I still have to learn/figure out:

- How to do the job (doh!)

- What time to wake up in order to have time for a walk

- How far to walk without winding up late for the carpool

- How to make a breakfast I can eat in the car

- What foods to bring to work for healthy snacks

- What time to eat lunch

- How to have enough time for the things I like to do at night

- What time to go to bed so I can get up and do it all over again

I'm an adult.  I've been working for 32 years.  You'd think I would have some of those things figured out by now.  But sheesh, this job seems to require a lot of minor adjustments to my life.  Or am I just a little brittle about making the changes?

And the saddest thing is, I've become a car person again.  Now admittedly, I'm riding, not driving.  But still, many minutes of my life are ticking away on the highway. 

No wait, the saddest thing is, I'm falling far behind on my reading.  I have a BIG stack of library books beckoning to me, but I've done almost no reading in the last week.  I can feel my brain cells sort of suffocating from lack of recreation.  Oh those brain cells have been stimulated, yesiree - stimulated by stress.  But it's not the same as relaxation for those brain cells.  Not the same thing a bit.

I know I've got to become more relaxed soon, because I'm just too crabby for my own good right now.

In a month, I hope I look back at this blog entry and laugh.
