Wow - it's been a whole week since I posted. Didn't realize that it had been that long.
The big news? I started at Adaptive Path on Monday. So far it's great. At least, I keep coming back. No, really, I'm loving it. This week has mostly been getting up to speed on process and proceedures (though there are surprisingly few of those). I've read the proposals for the projects I'll be working on and they are really exciting. I can't wait to get started. Today I get to jump into the work that's already been completed so I can get up to speed.
This week has been hard though in that I am so fucking tired. On the train home last night I realized that I want a gold star for dealing with my commute. And I know that there are many people who have a worse commute than mine, and have been doing it for way longer than I have/will. And they don't complain, so I really have no right to. But I've gone from a round trip commute time of 20 minutes max, to 3 hours. That's quite a difference. Especially coming off 4 weeks of vacation where I hardly left my house. It is going to take some adjustment.
Last night I turned out my light and went to bed at 8:20. The night before it was just after 9. I've been getting up between 6 and 6:30 so I can get out of the house in time to catch an early enough train. I'm trying to get 9 hours of sleep (or at least give myself the opportunity of getting 9 hours of sleep) a night, because I really don't feel well with less than that. But it's tough. Especially when I'm getting home at 6:30 or 7.
I must say though, I feel good about taking public transportation. I didn't use my car at all today getting to work. I walked to the bus stop, took that to BART and then walked to the office. It's about a 20 minute walk to the office, so I'll be getting 50 minutes of walking in each day. That should go a long way to getting me back into/getting some sort of shape. And even once I move, that time won't be shrinking, so I can count on it. Yay.
Anyway, back to the moly mines.
I tried emailing you but I don't think that my email address can get thru your spam filter. I seen you're genealogy site and there are some people from my past on it (I think). I just wonder what happened to them. I think you're ex-husband is the brother of a former friend of mine, Darryl Fox, who is listed on your site. P.S. I don't know if this will help but I've exercised for years, I never found it fun or exciting but I looked at it as a daily ritual that had to be done, like brushing my teeth or showering. I don't have goals just a daily regimen which I do religiously.
