Returning to full time work on Monday. I've got my special desk and bench in the garage for now, it's unfortunately supposed to rain my first couple days at work, so I'm not anxious to transport my electrically powered desk in the back of an open truck. The bench though I think I can sneak into the back seat, and won't be damaged much by water if I do have to haul it in the truck.
I would have rathered continue to work part time, and have more time to take care of myself, but after months of looking, full time is all that is available, and the bills need paying, and the hay in the loft won't last all winter, so I'll take what is available. The work itself sounds very interesting and right in line with my expertise. The commute is not so great, nowhere near my former carpool, I'll have to drive myself to work for the first time in years, and I will rarely get to go to lunch with hubby. But overall it's a good tradeoff I think. I'll have a lot more financial freedom and grow professionally. Worst case, if I can't handle everything, we scale back or even close down the farm. Keeping this property without me working doesn't really seem to be an option. We can get by on hubby's income, but we need mine to cover niceties and emergencies, and some overdue home maintenance.
I'll need to be more careful about planning my paleolunch, as there's not going to be a grocery store right next door any more. Going out for lunch will mean taking my full hour and working a bit later.
