Last night found me once again preparing to board a flight back to New York. It's been 9 weeks since I first left for the Hamptons. I am facing some hard challenges both at home and at work.
It is getting harder to get back on the plane to go back to work. The breaks are great, almost enough. We have to nail down the housing situation, quickly. The boys are resilient, but I do not want to take advantage of their hearts and up-bringing too much longer. 21 weeks and counting of this and counting.
Work is creeping into my personal life more and more. I have to work on keeping that boundary better. My role is the equivalent of a director or upper level manager in the corporate world. I understand that the hours will be long, the demands more intense and the performance expectations higher. Being live-in, however, means there is much less chance to escape the work environment. I need to get my staffing situation under control, if only to be able to relax on my days off knowing service is being provided to the Ps and work is getting done around the property.
