H has started a new job. He is excited and energized, and glad to be out of an uncomfortable prior work situation. Unfortunately, since this is a start-up, it is requiring huge amounts of time at first, and much more travel away from home than he had anticipated. Should be much better in a month or two. In the meantime, he's been a little warmer towards me, probably because he's got that bit of a high from all the new stuff. With him being nicer, though, it just seems to bring into relief what a bear he was to live with for most of last year. I was definitely starting to let his mood bring ME down last fall, and I have GOT to be a little more vigilant about not letting that happen.
I also started work this week - have finally gotten things straightened out, will be working part-time with the doc who has helped me straighten out my thyroid issues. Actually working more than anticipated because he had to have back surgery suddenly, so it is not the slow entry I was planning on, more of a running start as I try to help cover his patients. And, of course, both my kids have picked this week to have school crises, and it's looking like I'm going to have to put S15 in an independent learning program too - which of course was my nightmare concern about going back to work, that the kids issues weren't worked out and they would fall between the cracks.
So wish me luck, as I attempt to juggle homeschooling two teens, while working and while H is out of town all week half the time!
