Yeah!!

As of this past Monday afternoon, I am officially employed again! I accepted an offer to work in the billing department of a local physical therapy clinic. I start this coming Monday morning.

The past couple days have been fairly busy ones. I've been meal planning, list making, and clothes shopping. See, it's been about 6 1/2 YEARS since I've had to "dress" for work. I've either been wearing scrubs or jeans. I was down to two decent pairs of black slacks and a few skirts that I wore to church. I think I've purchased enough to at least get me started. I've added three more pairs of pants and about six shirts...plus six pairs of dress socks and two pairs of shoes. I got a great promo code in the mail yesterday to used at JCPenney.com on Sunday, so I may do a little catalog shopping that day. =)

I've gotten meals planned for the next two weeks, but now have to go grocery shopping to pick up a few things for the list. I was smart and put a lot of crockpot meals on the list as well as pre-cooked stuff I've already got in the freezer. I'm sure I'll be tired in the evenings when I get home...I haven't worked full time in almost two years!

To be honest, I'm a little excited about having to dress up again. I feel better about myself when I know I'm "put together" and look decent. Tomorrow I'm planning on going through my jewelry and getting it all organized again. I've got great stuff, but none of it really goes with jeans and shorts! LOL!

So, I'll be back in the groove again in a few days. I'll let you know how it goes!
