Dannng, new connections all over the place. New person I am casually dating; saw a therapist for the first time, who is obviously a new therapist; the Esh schedule changed a bit, and I'm finally signed up for dynamic acro with a new-ish base, who I've been trying to get semiprivates going with since like December. That will start in 3 weeks or so.
I also have new plans at work. I just hired someone -- someone who would otherwise have left Zillian and is decently suited to the work she will be doing, and who will have a very sympathetic subteam -- and I've got lists of work to hand off directly from me to various people. I am pleased. I think this handing-off will help keep my workload manageable, and a growing team is a good thing. By the end of the year I'm likely to have at least one manager under me, as well, which will help further.
I'm still a little tired/sniffly from the cold I got last week, and there's some work backlog, and seeing the therapist was kind of rough. Still, I feel a certain hope and optimism creeping in, with all these glimpses of things in the future, and changes coming that are going to feel fresh but don't feel risky or fill me with dread. Pretty sure there's a word for this. Oh yeah: anticipation. That was it.
