Chaotic

That is the best way to describe my life right now. Totally chaotic.

The good news: I got a new job that I am super excited to start at the beginning of December.

The bad news: This career change has thrown my life into total chaos. On the home front, I'm having to move my daughter to a new Daycare since she has been with me at on-site daycare. Its been way more stressful than I thought it would be. There just aren't a lot of options for children under 1, and I'm having horrible anxiety about moving her. She loves her teachers & friends and has thrived at her current daycare. I'm just so nervous that I'm going to move her and she won't like it as much or she won't thrive there the way she has at her current daycare. I'm just so nervous I'm going to make a bad choice. On the work front, I'm rushing to get everything wrapped up before I go. I gave notice at then end of October hoping that it would allow sufficient time for me to transition everything to my replacement. 2.5 weeks out, no transitioning has occurred and I'm still carrying a huge workload. Add to this a HUGE court proceeding on one of my contracts which has required me to produce no less than 10,000 pages to the courts and needless to say things aren't going to be wrapped in a neat little bow when I leave. This is, of course, causing more anxiety. And then there is all the usual anxiety that comes with learning a new company and a new job.

AHH! Why does this all have to be stressful. I'm literally a ball of stress.
