You know what day it is – it’s Pepper Day! Woo!
And that’s about all the excitement I can muster right now. Because it’s also Hump Day and, well, I’m awfully glad we’re on the downhill slope of the week.
See, my job was another victim of Covid, but I was super fortunate to find a new job in only a couple of weeks. Fourteen years of experience, plus my pretty new(ish) English degree, landed me a job in another law firm, and I started on Monday. While it feels good to be working and having days filled with adult conversation again, and while I’m glad that my younger kids are getting some social interaction with other kids (and trust me, the kids are just as happy about that as I am), it’s been three days of hard mornings. It’s hard enough to go back to work – even at a job you love – after having a couple days off, but after having four months off? Let’s just say I wasn’t sure I’d be equal to the task.
But everything is going well so far, and everyone has been super welcoming, which is wonderful. It’s been a great three days.
And I really don’t know what I was going to say just now. After months of late nights followed by late mornings, I’m exhausted, and I’m pretty sure my brain stopped working for the day somewhere around 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. But I guess this qualifies as a peppery post, because it is, in fact a post that I have drafted, even if it really isn’t very good. But that’s okay because it means there’s room to grow, and if you’re looking for something worth reading, then click here to find some great reads by writers who are more with it today than I am.
And if you’d rather be chatting than reading, then tell me – are you working? Not working? Somewhere in between? Let’s catch up!

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
Happy Pepper Day! I think I may have just unfollowed you? Or followed you again? I’m not really sure what’s happening because I definitely saw your post in my feed, but then it said I wasn’t following. So I guess my brain is tired, too, haha. 🙂 Anyways, I’m glad you found a new job and I hope it continues being awesome. 🙂

Thank you! I don’t know what happened, either, but I do know that my brain is still tired. 😂 There’s just too much going on right now, I think – too much to think about, too much to worry about, too much to keep track of. But since Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, I plan to do just that. Maybe then my brain will remember how to work!

I never got any time off–those 911 calls just kept rolling on in. Glad you found a new position!

Thanks!
My husband never got any time off, either – postal employees are essential employees, after all.
