What will I do, Oh, what will I do?

I'm so used to working 7 days a week (most weeks) and/or long days (12 or more hours), that I honestly do not know what I am going to do with a "normal" work schedule!  

Granted, I am MOST looking forward to dinner at home.  Being with girlchild more.  Inviting boychild over more.  Having REAL home cooked food more often!   But .... what will I do with the "me" time?

I think I am going to dust off the camera and start taking pics again.  I used to love it.  I love macro photography best, especially in nature.  So that's a plan.  By the way, when I say "dust off the camera", I mean literally.  I have to send it off to get a good cleaning or see if my professional photographer friend, Jeannie can do it.  She's offered (she can clean some models, not others) to look at it and see.  I also need to invest in an external flash.  Mine bite the dust.   Maybe this time, next year, I can have a booth in the "Art in the Park" during our local festival.  I've always wanted to.

I also think I am going to join our brand new Y!  It is located less than 2 miles from my home and in the same location where I am working ..... so NO EXCUSES.   I really do love the gym .... the one the next town over just didn't work out b/c of the distance.   I want NO more monthly expenses so I plan to pay for a year upfront with my income tax refund. 

I also think it is time to step outside my box and get my social game back on.  Having two jobs, and working all the time made it easy to hide within myself.  Like the gym, however, NO (more) EXCUSES.

And lastly -- church.  I will get to go to church again!  

Big plans, huh??  I really need to do these "me" things.  It isn't just "want" here .... I NEED this.
