I've had too much on my mind this week, leaving me too much to say and not enough time to figure out how to say it here. The short version:
The van is still marginally broken, parts expected to arive Monday and will be getting service Tuesday morning.
The interview with the hospital went OK. I spoke on the phone with the lead admin; I genuinely like this guy, he's sincere and a straightshooter. But he sometimes gets that hesitance in his voice typical of someone who's been burnt more than once for speaking his mind. Given that he's been there for over 10 years, that's some cause for pause. They've also made a few changes of direction since I talked with them last, and are hanging on to VMS. I have zero desire to learn VMS, so this may be a show-stopper. Of course it's incredibly foolish to pass on a job opportunity only to get laid-off a week or two later.
I have been able to spend more time with my kids. I've seen them just about every day, even if some days only for 15 minutes or so. But it's been so much better. I've unabashedly taken advantage of the fact that my Ex's Jeep is still broken. I took her to the grocery store yesterday, and Elyssia came along for the ride. No, it's not the one-on-one time I should be getting, but I'll take it. It came without a fight and with a thank-you, and when I came over today for a few minutes, there wasn't any "what do you want" to deal with.
And when I called my mom tonight, before we hung-up, she said "I love you". My mom never says this on the phone. The last time I think she said that to me was my visit to Ohio last summer on the day we were leaving. It was a nice surprise to close the weekend out.
