Whew!

Remember last week when I was just ready to go? Ready to start seeing clients and helping people? Filled with enthusiasm and tired of reading employee manuals and completing paperwork?

Um... be careful what you wish for.

I'm really tired right now. I thought it was 4:00, but when I glanced at the clock, it was only 3:00! I thought, "My batteries in my new clock must be faulty." Nope. Every clock in this place said 3:00. Wow.

My schedule has filled quickly. I'm seeing the clients that our intern was seeing, so not only am I needing to establish rapport and do my own thing, I'm also trying to catch up quickly. And I'm beginning to see my own new clients, so I am starting to feel like I have information overload at this moment. I'm still feeling rusty, like I've lost my mojo! Urgh.

I know. It all takes time. And I'm still adjusting to all new colleagues, a new town, and trying to figure out my living situation, so I know it's a lot. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very happy here. I love the energy on a college campus and the awesome conversations I've had with my new colleagues. I love that people have been very welcoming.

But at this very moment, I'm suddenly tired. I actually spent a couple minutes daydreaming about snuggling in my bed with my puppies and taking a snooze. The weather is perfect for that ... it's rainy and cold here today... is it just me, or doesn't a nap sound good?
