First day jitters.

You know the feeling before your first day of anything (school, work, trip)- there's that fluttery buzz happening in the pit of your stomach?


I've got it.
Big.


Today is my first day on the new job. 


Am I excited?
Maybe.


But overruling that excitement is fear.
What if I made the wrong decision?
What if I've signed onto something bigger than I can chew?
What if I don't have the energy to carry it out?


Guys, I am not kidding when I say, professionally, this past year was rough. 
I keep telling myself, "nothing will beat the year you just went through" but at the same time stranger things have been known to happen. At least where I was things were somewhat predictable. This will all be uncharted territory (for me anyway). 


In an attempt to make myself feel a teeny bit better I've laid out my outfit (as well as Thursday and Friday's- stay tuned, I'm sure the suspense is killer). 


If nothing else I'll be wearing my lucky hoops and smelling good.

Here goes...everything.
