lazy Sunday

robinsnest I've enjoyed a marvelously lazy Sunday. I puttered and cleaned the kitchen this morning, made apple sauce and a chocolate cake. Then Rob and I vegged and watched football. I passed out with my head in his lap. The Packers won (woohoo) the Eagles won (yay I guess? Rob cares). I got out my dress for the battle of brandywine and put gussets in the underarms. I had ripped them out at Ft. Washington playing exuberant graces.
In other news I have started looking seriously for another job. Don't get me wrong I like my job, but...what I'm doing does not further my nursing skills and frankly I make half what i would most other places. And I'm tired of financially barely making it. and lately not making it :-/ Rob just hasn't been holding his end of this financial deal. So my options are push a man with a mental illness who shuts down OR find something that pays me more. My major criteria at the moment are 1. a raise, a significant raise. Laura just took an offer elsewhere and got her salary doubled. 2. tuition assistance. The end goal is my NP. That has really solidified in my mind and I just cannot do that on my current salary. Laura gave me the contact info for her recruiter so I emailed them, and applied to a job at CHOP's specialty clinic. So I've started the poking process. Think good thoughts for me.
It's funny I was SO resistant to accepting that I needed to move on, and now that I have decided it's time I have this great NEED to move on to new challenges. I need something that pushes my nursing skills farther. I'm ready to further develop my assessment skills.

Is he getting treatment? Or is that part of what you need more money for? I'm a huge fan of better living through chemistry, if meds are what you need.

Date: 2017-09-12 02:38 pm (UTC)A lot of the time my problem is just getting started. Combine that with perfectionism, and there's a lot of not doing anything because I can't do it exactly the way it should be done. Or I don't have time to do ALL THE THINGS at once.
UFYH has helped me a lot with getting better about a lot of little things. It's NOT just a housework book. It's about starting to build better habits and it's about the idea that even a little bit of effort towards a goal is better than nothing. Just do eeeetttt!
