So tonight is a school night, the first one in many, many moons...and I can't sleep. I've tried an earlier dance class to get out the extra energy, a big meal (steak with my own marinade, yellow pepper and mushroom skewers basted with garlic olive oil, pepper and sea salt), dessert (Kristoffer's chocolate chip cookies with caramel squares in the middle...ok and a little slice of my red velvet cake) and Tension Tamer tea...and still no sleep coming. My mind is spinning with this new adventure, wondering what this new career will hold for my future...like will I enjoy it as much as I'm hoping I will, and can I pay my bills?! I still have to iron my new chef jacket, and although I'm not looking forward to the stylin' & profilin' elastic-waisted black and white checked pants and supportive grandpa-footwear, I'm excited to put on the uniform and make it official.
I'm saying goodbye to the corporate lifestlye with all of the financial perks, and saying hello to a creative career that I'm actually actively choosing (for a change), rather than falling into. Big stuff...
Ok, going on 1:44 am and still can't sleep...dang these first-day-of-school jitters!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to do great! We are all pulling for you! And in the meantime there is always Ambien :) As long as you dont mind the hangover the next day.
ReplyDeleteWow Jen, after reading what you made for dinner... do you really need to go to school to learn how to cook??? LOL, seriously you're amazing and this will all work out to your advantage. Education is never the wrong answer, or so I've been told. Hang in there sweetie, and soon you'll be giving Julia Childs a run for her money. Mmmmmmmmmm Butter!
ReplyDeleteThanks, boys, for always being so supportive! It's good to know people have my back... :-)
