First day on the job

Yesterday I reported to my first day at my new job.  It was a little crazy given the circumstances, and I was absolutely exhausted when it was over.  I loved it though.  It was awesome, and I think I will truly enjoy being there for the year.

Overall, yesterday turned into a really long day.  I left the house at 7AM, and drove straight from my job to my mom's house (about 40 minutes).  Andrew and Thomas met me there, and there was work mom needed done.  We finally made it home about 8:00, but then Andrew and I had to run to church to deal with an issue there.  It was a very long day, especially when we hadn't had many scheduled days since mid-March!

Today was another long day.  Thomas and I had to be back up at my mother's at 9:00 this morning.  Thomas was working in the attic and I was helping to pull staples out of the floor.  Mom has had all the carpets removed, and there are GORGEOUS wood floors underneath.  Fortunately, my cousin's husband arrived with better tools, and most importantly muscle!  It was such a tremendous help.  Meanwhile, Andrew was working all day at the school for athletic events.  Because these were the first events with the state's new restrictions on spectators, Andrew needed to be at everything.

Tomorrow our church has decided to hold an outdoor service in the morning, and then Andrew needs to attend an athletic fundraiser.  It's pretty-much an all day thing, and then we are beginning the week again.  Although it is crazy, I'm grateful for the opportunities!
