Work, Eat, Sleep

Lately, it seems as though my life revolves around these three things: work, eating, and sleep. I get up at 7am see Farron off to work, waste a bit of time on here and then get ready for work. The next step, it's off to work I go. I work all day, then come home eat supper, lounge around a bit watching tv, or playing around on the computer and then the final step of my day: SLEEP.

So I guess what I don't get is if this is what my life is going to consist of what was the since of working so hard in school to get this? I mean don't get me wrong I am able to finally buy things I want and live comfortable. But it just seems there is not enough time to enjoy the real things in life when we have to work so much. And I have it nice because I do work short days and sometimes have 3 day week-ends, but there still just is not enough time.

I guess I am starting to get use to this routine, but I am not sure I want to. I want to be happy all the time not just on week-ends. And I just feel something should be done about it before I am retiring as a grumpy old dental hygienist, complaining about how miserable my life has been.

I have several ideas on what would make me happier it's just obtaining those things that is making things difficult. For one I would love to work with Farron, I think going to and from work together and being there for each other wouldn't make work seem so terrible. I wouldn't feel alone or lost and we would be able to spend a lot more time together, which I miss. I mean we have been attached at the hip since we've been together and once we got married it's like we were disconnected and it is taking a lot for me to get use to it.

My second idea, that I believe would make me feel happier, would be owning my own business. I know it would be a lot of work but it has so many benefits. I could work as much or as little as I wanted, I could close on short notice for emergencies, I wouldn't have to worry about calling in sick, I could have stress leave, lol. It would make family time a lot easier and I would not have anyone to answer to but myself.

I guess all in all what I am trying to say, is this work thing is fine for now but eventually I am going to need an alternative to make me happy!
