New job

I'm not quite sure how I'm feeling lately.  I definitely feel a little bit less irritable. That's nice... Can't really say that my motivation is up, but I've been really busy.

The main thing is that I just started a new job.  It's only part-time but it's causing me a lot of anxiety.  When I feel anxious about something, my first instinct is to run from it as fast as I can.  I'm not a fighter, I'm definitely a "flighter."  So that's the point I'm at right now - I'm trying to force myself over the hump until I start feeling comfortable at my new job.  And I'm trying to give myself goals to keep me focused.  For example, my husband said that I can use the money I earn to save up for a new laptop.  And we can also use the money to pay down our debt and then be able re-do our kitchen.

And I have to say, having a little financial freedom and not having to depend on my husband for money sounds very nice indeed.  Oh, and I can make my own hours and work from home - so I don't have to pay for childcare - well that's a perk too. It's a really good fit for me and my lifestyle, overall.

Does it sound to you like I'm trying to convince myself this is a good thing? Yeah, me too.
