I work a lot. A lot may be an understatement. I work one job from 7:15a to 4:45p Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and my other job from 5:45p to 8a. I work myself to the point of exhaustion more days, mainly to pay off a student loan debt that I accrued by being an ostrich and sticking my head in the sand instead of dealing with it.
I consider this recompense. In life, you make choices and you deal with the results from those choices. My poor choices have led me down one road and my good choices have led me down another.
I woke up next to my girlfriend this morning, which is a rare occurence. The half an hour spent snuggling with her before dealing with the world was one of the best moments of my day. I enjoy them so much more considering what we both have to do to make our household work. She works thirds so we get to kiss each other in passing most evenings before she falls back asleep and I take care of the housework. It can definitely get exhausting but, as she said to me the other day, we just have to make it work now, raise a few kids and relax the rest of our lives.
I think that sounds pretty good to me.
