The luxury of time and space

The last month has been full of changes. For one thing, Justin and I moved from our teeny tiny apartment to a less teeny tiny apartment. Having the extra space is just luxurious. This really struck me a couple minutes ago. I was watching TV with Justin and MTV drove me to seek refuge elsewhere. As I was leaving the room, I realized I had three whole other rooms I could go sit in!  And that is not even counting the bathroom! For the area we live in and the rent we pay, this is amazing.

The other big change is that I recently changed jobs; I have gone back to work for the small NGO I worked for right out of grad school. I am only working part time at the moment, and having the afternoons off has made such a huge change in my quality of life. It is almost as if I have gotten my life back. I am happy to go to work each the morning and in the blink of an eye four hours have passed and my work day is over.  All of a sudden my life is not so rushed and I have time to do things.
