Big news in Gwen Land --- I GOT THE JOB!!! I am so excited. They didn't even interview anyone else. Honestly this is a win - win for everyone. Back in the dark ages I was in healthcare admin. and ran a department. This is front office but in a growing practice and the operations manager was kind of jazzed when she saw my background. They are getting a lot of bang for the buck and I am getting relaunched as Gwen 2.0

Another huge benefit is the clinic is literally a half mile down the road from D16's school. We live in urban sprawl. It usually takes 30 minutes to get anywhere so this is divine intervention.

For the first time in months I feel like I know this job is exactly what I should be doing. After all the lies and betrayal and confusion it sures feels good to feel like I am on the right path.

In other news... My attorney is scheduling hearings because H will not seriously address the separation agreement. This is a waste of money. If H would just address things like a mature adult we wouldn't be spending all this negative energy or money. I know this avoidance is what happens in MLC but my financial situation is not great. With H living so far away and OW in the picture I really need some boundaries and I have to figure out a budget. I know DBusting is no pressure or R talk but I just believe I need an agreement moving forward. I have seen too many people regret not having those protections in place.

Anyway I called H tonight. Yes against the rules but wanted to make sure he is willing to go to court. He acted oblivious and said he was waiting for me to respond. Not sure if he was lying or is intellectually challenged but I explained the consequences of avoiding me and my attorney. We talked for about 10 minutes. I was not perfect relating to him but I managed to stay calm. He said the girls hate him and I explained that they are mad but they also want to see how he values them and their mother in the upcoming months. He said he'd fix things. We shall see....

If I can avoid court then that is good. It was weird talking to a person who is just not the person you thought he was. Kind of sad. I hope he gets some help.
