I am living in a new city
I have a new job, in an industry that I've never worked in before
I have a 45 minute drive (each way) to work every day
I've taken a 30% pay cut to come to this city (because hubby wanted to go...long story)
The building where I work smells like old books (yuck)

I could really use some hugs right now

That's a lot to adjust to. I hope you settle in smoothly over the next couple of weeks.

Could you get audiobooks from the library to listen to while driving to and from work so that time doesn't feel lost?

While I was living away, my French language skills have gotten really bad so I've been doing French audio-teaching while driving
I feel like a first grader!

I had to move for my late husband’s job—that was hard indeed. I hope things work out with the job.

I'm trying my best
I don't have even a family doctor here, and I am a bit worried about it.
No family doctor here means no P.doc...
I'll be okay
