Today, we had a family barbeque for Memorial Day and also to celebrate my starting my new job tomorrow. W brought a couple of movies with her, obviously thinking that we might watch one together, but I didn't give her the chance to ask, as I made it clear that I would have to do some work to get ready for tomorrow (which I am taking a break from right now). Again, I'm not accepting every offer, and I'm not getting ahead of where she is right now.
I think I'll make the next move by asking if she'd like to go shopping with me on Thursday and help me pick out some new clothes. That's good because she enjoys shopping and I can be sure of getting clothes that make me look good in her eyes. She was telling me tonight that I should get my hair colored differently and I should start using color to get rid of the increasing grayness, so she clearly is interested in my appearance.
On another topic, I haven't posted about this in a long time, but I'm switching career and will be teaching middle school at a public school here in the fall. I'm going through an alternate certification program this summer that involves workshops and student teaching during summer school. This summer, I'll only make $7.50 an hour during training, but I'll have a decent, stable income in the fall, and I'm truly excited about making an impact as a teacher. It will also be great for helping me to take care of D4, since my work schedule will be the same as her school schedule. Tomorrow is my first day.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
