Feeling Friday - 05.12.23

My feelings: I hurt. I’m tired. I’m sad. I’m really happy to be home.
 
The new job while relatively stress free is quite physical (which causes a little stress because I’m just not sure if I can handle it). It’s been a long time since I was on my feet all day for a job. I’ve had mostly desk related jobs for the last 6 years. There is lots of standing, walking, bending, twisting, lifting etc. involved. I feel it in every inch of my body. My ankle, hip, and back especially.

I ran into three people I know today (This is still a relatively small town). One is a former co-worker who turns out is now a present co-worker… and two other co-workers came in from different jobs. Do I feel like an awkward panda and somewhat ashamed that I’ve gone from upper management positions to essentially stocking shelves (so far anyway)…
um … yeah.
​Do I also know it’s what I need right now for my mental health (and it’s a work out too so far so lets say physical as well). Sure. Am I also sad about it? Yes. Lot’s of feelings. Still the managers seem impressed with the reorganization and displays I’ve done so far. Plus I’ve had fun talking to people and helping them find what they need.

​I’m going to do my best to stay awake till at least 9. But really I just want to curl up and go to sleep. I did realize this morning that I’d neglected to take my vitamins since I moved… so I did that this morning… I’m sure that’s contributing to my lethargy.
 
I’m feeling relieved to have my feet up… though I’m about to get up to make a cup of tea. I’m happy to see my cats… It’s early enough I’ll find some movie to watch.
 
Quick post.

​Feel the feelings.
