exhausted, but what a year.

Today I took the dog for a walk at the beach. I worked a full day. And I rearranged my new living room.

I sometimes feel like life is stagnant, but then I think of how much has changed in the last year ….

A year ago today I was in Atlanta getting ready for my Data Science bootcamp. I had spent some time on the Cape in our tiny house, but not the full summer.

Since then, I finished up the bootcamp — I learned a lot, but it was exhausting. I have started a new job; I really like the company, the , work, and my teammates, but it has bee a huge adjustment. I’ve gone on four work trips so far, and have had to give two big presentations.

I now “live” in a lovely Cape house close to the beach. Technically, I still live in Decatur-ish, but I prefer to be up on the Cape whenever possible in this amazing house.

Both my kids have expanded their horizons with plans for long-term trips abroad. Rob has a new job title.

But all the anxiety and the changes has left me exhausted. I would love to have a “real” vacation at some point; even if it were a stay-cation here in vacationland. But I just don’t see when that will happen.
