The week has again flown by much too quickly. I have been in a rut of sorts for a while now, feeling like I'm just plodding along. I've decided that it may have to do with my working 5 days a week. You may recall that I added that 5th work day this past spring when extra help was needed at the front desk in the office where I work. It was only supposed to be for a couple of months, but it has lasted nearly 8 months now. I spoke to the doctor I work for about how I was feeling and we decided that in November I'm going to go back to my four day work week.
I think that it's going to be a welcome change. I'm already looking forward to having a little more time at home, and a little more time with the dogs and getting a few more things done.
Who knows, maybe I'll even have time to take Charlie to the groomers...
Or maybe I won't, we'll see -- Stay tuned!
I hope you're having a good week!
glad to hear they're willing to let you reduce your hours! yay for more home/dog time!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the doctor has given you back your old schedule. More you time is always good time. The dogs are an added bonus.
ReplyDeleteI really think poor Charlie needs a hair cut.
Have a great friday and wonderful weekend.

A four day work week is great, I wish I could do it too. Charlie is a cutie but, then I love all your doggies. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteMorning Kim, happy to hear you will cut back your hours and have more time at home......Great pictures of the fur babies, makes me smile, Have a great weekend, Hugs Francine.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Kim!! Sometimes it takes a kick in the pants to get us out of a rut ... or a gentle voice to encourage us to step out and do things a little bit differently.
ReplyDeleteToday is a beautiful day!!
5 days is a killer!!! You never seem to have time for anything...
ReplyDeleteThe doggys look wonderful....I have two purring kitties asking me for breakfast!!!
Have a wonderful weekend...xxx
I am happy for you to be able to have more time at home with the dogs and your baking. I think it will make you feel better and you can dig yourself out of that rut.
ReplyDeleteIt will be wonderful to go back to 4 days a week!! More time to spend with the pups! :)

We are very happy for you, Kim, you and the Doc worked it out. You will really enjoy the time with the Holidays coming up.
ReplyDeleteCheers and hugs,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat
Will you be working 4 tens? I've been wanting to ask my office to change my schedule, but I am so unsure...
ReplyDeleteMonty and Harlow
Happy Friday Kim, I'm so glad that your schedule will be cut back-working full time(though 4 days is just about the same)takes a toll on ones life. I know your pack will love having you around more. Hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend. Lots of love to you all.

Man, do I wish I could do a four day week! You need a break, that's for sure!!
ReplyDeleteWorking full time is exhausting especially when you have all those hungry hearts at home! Good move, Kim and as for Charlie...let him go au naturale!!!! P.S. How is Sunny doing, have you heard?....JP:)
ReplyDeleteOh boy Charlie, you're really looking like Morgan now. We started hacking mats off her yesterday but she's a work in progress. Because of her arthritis she can't stand for long periods, so grooming takes days or even weeks with her.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the change in work hours. We have a few friends who work 'part time'....five days a week..BOL! Know how tiring it can be.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Hey, if you get some time off, SHE'll be in Leesburg soon, maybe a coffee?
Great that you will be able to spend more time with your family.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Kim. ♥
OMD I wish my mom would work a 4 day work week and stay home with me. I think she would be less stressed. Who wouldn't want to hang out with us dogs we always make humans feel better.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
Pees: Um Charlie told me shaggy is in and he doesn't want to go to fur stealers...just sayin.
Poor Charlie. Wht a neglected hound dog. LOL
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea to cut back to 4 days of work which will give you more hours for home, dogs and other good things.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's great news about going back to 4 days a week. Yay for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your happy pups!
I'm happy for you Kim that you'll have more time. Todd and his siblings will love it i'm sure! And you'll be much less stressed. :)
ReplyDeleteWith your lot I should think you would push for a three day work week. I just couldn't leave those mugs.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Kim! It is so hard to work a ton of hours and still try to take care of everything at home. I am glad to hear that your Dr. let you cut back a bit. The dogs will love it and I think you will too!! xo Jeanne, Chloe and LadyBug
ReplyDeleteA reduced work week sounds delightful...additional moments with your loves shall be splendid indeed.
ReplyDeleteSending wishes for a lovely weekend!
Hugs,

Working less does wonders for adding peace and reducing stress. Glad it worked out with your employer :)
