nothing lasts forever
Found out this week that I will be going back to full time work (and pay) at the end of July. Returning to normal pay will be nice and it will be nice to have more time to accomplish things for work. But I will miss having a three day weekend every week.
During the pandemic I've done exactly what I was supposed to do for the general good. I've worked from home as I can and I've pretty much stayed at home unless I really needed to go get something or go to a medical appointment. I didn't even go out hiking in the mountains because frankly, everyone else was doing that and I didn't see how I could possible stay socially isolated on crowded trails and in crowded trailheads. So there has been lots of time at home.
When the reduced weeks started I thought I would have so much time I'd get everything done on my lists. It's amazing how much I have to do. I've just begun to scratch the surface. I have done a lot of work outside around the property, but there are a lot of recurring and one-time tasks still to do. I've just begin to work on the van, getting a few things done and several others started.
So I'd really like to work four days a week from here out, but there is a mortgage to pay, so maybe that will have to wait. I do have a lot of vacation time since I've only taken one of my scheduled vacations this year, so I will probably be taking vacation for a lot of the Fridays for the rest of summer. Maybe I can get some more of the things on the list checked off.
