The short answer to this is yes. <- SHORTEST POST EVER!

Just kidding, theres more. The next big question here is: How long do you plan on working? This answer is a bit more complicated, but the short of it is I will continue to work as long as the pros out weigh the cons.

Pro: I feel like I’m pretty good at my job (shout out to the supportive lady bosses I’ve had who have only ever lifted me up!). Having this sense of accomplishment and value is pretty great.

Pro: I like (most of) the people I work with. The people at work who know have been so supportive and kind. Each day I get to interact with these people and that is a blessing.

Pro: Work is one of the only tasks I can do. Typing is getting more difficult, but I’ve been told that voice to text software is an accommodation when the time comes. If I weren’t working I’d be wallowing. One day not working will bring joy, but day is not today.

Pro: Work currently improves my quality of life for all the above reasons.

Con: Some days work makes me tired, like if I don’t rest I will fall over tired.

And that’s it, I’ll let y’all know when the situation changes…..but this is where I am right now.
