I just got my bonus check for last quarter, at the end of last week. I'm apparently doing better than I ever thought I would - well enough to surprise me.
I have more money in my savings account than I thought I did, too. I'm making extra payments on my car and my student loans, and it's possible that I'll be out of debt sooner than I had planned. I started my 401K last week, so I'm even becoming something resembling a responsible adult.
I have a new car, and a nice place to live, and someone I love to share it with. I'm living the American dream.
Now all I need is the time to enjoy it.... If I can ever get my schedule back to normal, if I can ever honestly plan anything, and not have my weeks all shaken and skewed from my coworkers needing me to work extra days for them, trade shifts for them, cover for *their* plans, I'd be in heaven.
I keep telling myself that I *need* to cover their shifts, to help them out, because they have Plans. I don't. But at the same time... does that mean I don't get to have any time off, just because I don't have anything mapped out to do with it?
