I thought I would blog instead. I have left all 5 of you in my blog posse hanging on long enough.
So I have survived the transition. I got the office moved, unpacked, and organized. I have seen many clients, and have a schedule that is staying full and have been getting referrals here and there. Looking forward to my first Medicaid reimbursement check. It will be nice to have some coming in, to help replace the scary amounts that have been going out.
I am a routine kind of gal and this having to develop new work routines after having a routine set for the past 4 or so years is kind of getting to me. My "commute" is longer too, which is one of the few downsides of this venture. (Not that I should complain. My "commute" has gone from about 5-10 minutes depending on the time of day to around 15-20 depending on the time of day) I know that soon I will settle in to a routine, I just want it to hurry up and get here.
Right now I am working a LOT. Trying to build up the coffers. I hope that in the coming months I can tweak things and have a schedule more like I envisioned when I first started working on this adventure. I am mourning the loss this year of my typical 3 days off at Thanksgiving and week or more off at Christmas. It is just too soon to take that much time off. Next year maybe. We'll see.
So here's hoping things continue to settle down. I think this is all starting to catch up with me. I am falling asleep about 2 seconds after my head hits the pillow these days and in the morning I swear the night was only 5 minutes long and I have no recollection of dreaming. That is some hardcore sleeping for me.
Hope you all have been well and my plan is to get back to regular posting soon.
Try to contain yourselves!

It is really hard to start a business. A optomitrist we know said she just had to eat mac-n-cheese for the first year, and then it got better. I realize this might not make you feel a lot better, but it's good to know everyone goes through the same thing starting a new practice.
I hear ya, Missy. Having recently gone through the upheaval of new job/new routine, I sympathize with wanting everything to be settled. You'll get there! In the meantime, if you every feel like having coffee/tea/sweets to de-stress and process, let me know!
