Just started the new job at Physicians Mutual. In the end I think its going to be a great fit and great opportunity. Right now, I feel totally inundated with learning how a new company works. I haven't had to do this but twice - and the first time we were ALL figuring it out at the same time as we started Digital IMS. Thankfully, UNL trained me for what a large, bureaucratic entity acts like so its not complete system overload - just new terminology and work flow. The biggest adjustment is going to be the commute. I'm used to being able to hop on my bike and pedaling wherever I want to go. This whole sitting in a car for one hour each way goes against everything I think and believe and is getting old already. Now I understand road rage. Thankfully, while not set in stone at this point, there is an end date and it will be coming before we know it.
Alexia's parents came over to help with the transition so that she wasn't totally thrown to the wolves with Audra. It especially came in handy for Thanksgiving preparation and Wednesday night, when we got to go out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary (which was Thanksgiving Day) like grown adults without a child. It was just the recharge we needed before a hectic holiday. Lex had her first glass of wine since February and we finally got to go to Vincenzo's as we'd tried to do before Audra had other plans.
