And she doesn’t get mad when I wake up to eat saltines in bed at 3am every night.
So anyway I'm thankful that I feel better this week, and we just hired a cleaner to clean our house and it's so clean right now 😭❤️😭❤️ it was making me so depressed because I was too tired to clean and my husband wouldn't do it without me so we basically cleaned never. We're going to make it a monthly thing to hire the cleaner, it's so worth it.
Also I got a raise at work ❤️ I work at a big tech company and it's basically unheard of outside of our annual review periods. But I told my manager a few months ago that I felt bad that both my brother and husband were recently hired at the company with less experience than me, and they were offered more money, even though I ranked in the top 10% at my last review cycle. And he and his manager worked with HR to give me a mid-cycle raise/bonus because they really like me and don't want me to leave. In software engineering typically the only way to make up to industry standards is to hop ship every few years, because industry standards are rising so quickly, and I'm so thankful that I didn't have to do that and that my managers like me enough to fight for me. ❤️ I was feeling bad that I basically had to stay here for the next year+ because I don't want to navigate a new job and FMLA at a new company and all that during pregnancy, and now I'm just happy to stay at my company period.
