Suck it up

It seems that I am just going to have to accept what needs to happen, and suck up the fact that I don't like it. The simple truth is, I don't have to like change. I don't have to embrace it like a long lost relative. I just have to accept it.

I am going back to days at work, and while I am not thrilled about this I do know that it WAS one of my choices for the days off. So, I can suck it up.

Positive Sides:
1. My puppies will only have to be alone for 3-4 hours a day.
2. The days off are slightly better.

Negative Sides:
1. I will not see Nate except on Saturdays.
2. I will no longer be with my friends, except for a couple of hours a day.

The good news is that this will likely be temporary. If this program takes off then new shifts will be opening up, and then things can back to slightly normal.

I was also complaining today about having to come all the way into town on my day off to come to a meeting. But, as my friend pointed out to me, it's not always about the meeting... it's about showing that you are willing to make the effort in the first place. So, I will suck it up, and make the hour drive in to attend. I was going to do it anyway, but she put it in a better perspective for me, and I appreciate that.
