Yesterday ended week two at my new job. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I was trained on a bunch of new stuff. Some of the stuff I was familiar with already. Some was totally new to me. But it was still a lot to learn in a short time and I ended my work day with a slight headache. By bedtime I was practically a blubbering idiot I was so tired. And yet I had a hard time falling asleep with all the new stuff rolling around in my head. When I did finally sleep I had weird and vivid dreams. Then this morning at 5 AM a nasty storm blew in with winds strong enough to make the rain pelt our bedroom window. It startled me awake and I couldn’t go back to sleep.

I’m glad today is Saturday and we have nothing planned. Between the information overload and the lack of sleep, I am pretty much worthless. I love my new job though, don’t get me wrong. The hours are perfect for me and I am loving the people I work with. And while I won’t be making enough for us to afford luxury homes anytime in the near future (not that we plan to move anyway), it’s enough to allow us to keep the extras such as cable TV, our cell phones, etc.
