Working a full-time job and a part-time job have caused me to re-evaluate my priorities. Both of my jobs require weekends, so I don't have too much free time. I've had one weekend off each month since I started my second job in January. My current schedule is working PM's at the nursing home Monday, Wednesday, and every other Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday; and working days at home health Friday, and every other Saturday and Sunday. Up until earlier this month, Dusty had been working Monday through Saturday on AM's, so we really didn't get time to see each other. Even when Dusty was able to work just Monday through Friday, I was still working Saturdays so we were limited on our time to be together. We aren't able to take long trips and it's really hard trying to sync up our off days. We don't get to plan our our weekends. Most of the time, we have to plan a month in advance, or make plans the day of.
Since the spring semester ended, I have prioritized my brothers high school graduation, and their party, fishing, time with my family and time with Dusty's family, and the Tomah Tractor Pull. You could also say that I prioritize both of my jobs, since most of my summer is dedicated to them. It's so complicated being in this phase of adulthood because you have to work to pay your bills, but you don't want to drown in overtime. On the other hand, you also want to take vacations and enjoy this time in life before having kids. I have two months left of summer, and I'm trying to make the most of it with the few days available to me.
What are YOUR plans for the rest of the summer?!?
