Regular Income – New Job

Yes, you read it right.  Today is my first day back at work.  This means regular income for the first time in 2 1/2 years.  I can make a regular budget and know how much money I will have.   It is not a high paying job but it will pay the bills and give us a little left over for the emergency fund.

I wish I could write some great posts on my job search but honestly, I didn’t even apply for this job.  A friend knew it was coming open and knew that I was qualified so they called me.  The employer knows me slightly and there you have it, I was employed.

In the long run it will be a good thing.  Right now it just makes life a little more complicated.  R is still pretty much house bound and even though he has gotten outside a few times this week, he can’t lift anything or do too much on the leg.  I am going to worry about him.

I am also going to have to change his appointments at the doctor’s office to pull blood twice a week to a time when I can take him.  Working around this shouldn’t be a huge big deal but something else to add into the schedule.

I am very thankful that I am going back to work in this economy though.  The job market is tough and competitive especially here where even during normal times there are not many jobs.
