It's 1:56 am, and I can't seem to sleep. Do you know what keeps me up at night?
There's a ridiculous amount of nonsense that swirls through my head at any given time. I worry a lot. I think about the promotion I never got, and the lack of support I sometimes feel at work for a small non-profit. I think of my chopped up resume that I need to work on and send out so I can get to work for a place that may support me better. I worry about the house cleaning that needs to happen, the prep that will go into sharing my home with a roommate just to afford life here, the dog, meal prep, relationships, etc.
Did you note that grad school wasn't on the list? Yay! I finished my schooling in December and am now "Master Ritchey...haha".
But what is it specifically tonight? Ummm, I am embarrassed to say that it is a grand idea for a revenue-generating interactive for our Aquarium that most likely will not get approved... But once my brain gets started, I cannot let an idea go. So, I am stuck laying awake until I pull out that sketchbook my brother gave me for Christmas, (the one with the little dots instead of lines), and make a little informal proposal for the CORE team meeting next week.
As much as I don't feel supported by my little non-profit... I know it is a good little place. I always build it up as "the gem of Hickory" and love it for the educational facility it is. I suppose I am loyal to a fault, and will give my 100% till the day I am called to move on to another place.
Sooo... What's keeping y'all up tonight?
