Going back to work

resonantI start my new job tomorrow! My brain is a hive of bees.
I've been out of work since I was laid off in July 2024. It would have been really inconvenient to be working for a lot of that time, as I was helping my brother see our mother through her decline and death from dementia and also having some serious health issues of my own. (And Mom left me some money, which allowed me to say "I'm too stressed to job-hunt" and then not job-hunt, a rare luxury that I'm very grateful for.)
But I have to admit I've also been bored and restless and lonely. It will be nice to have co-workers, and tasks, and a paycheck again.
On the other hand, it's been thirteen months since I consistently had to be any place in particular in the morning. And the cat is going to be sad.
