Impromptu trip to the UK, starting work
I spent two weeks in the UK, deciding to take advantage of what may be the last free time I get for a while before my new job starts. It was fun! I got to go for a walk in the Cotswolds, watch my brother perform at an open mic night, have a lot of nice meals out with family and friends.
I ate a lot of marmite and fish paste :)
Coming back was stressful - my social media blew up with tales of ICE in airports, plane crashes, and long delays - but in the end it was anti-climatic.
The house has had significant progress made while I have been gone. Our room looks almost empty in comparison to when I left! This is a good thing.
I start my job on Monday. I am a little anxious about acclimatising. Full-time in an office, USA levels of holiday, and a whole new career to learn. I am expecting to be exhausted for the first month at least. I am looking forward to having more routine though.
