Muddling through

Yesterday was the first day I didn't cry or tear up since we found out that the IVF didn't work.  I'm becoming kind of numb to the whole thing. 

We've decided that we're done with treatments and won't be pursuing adoption.  That might change in the future, but for right now, we're just going to live.  We've put too much on hold the past few years.  We're going to work on fixing up our house so we can put it on the market.  Right now both of us drive about 35 miles one way to work, which gets old.  We would like to live closer to work. 

I have an interview this afternoon for a new job.  The interview was originally for 9 am this morning, but of course, my boss had an emergency assignment for me so I had to reschedule.  Great first impression.  I did mention that the emergency project was for the head of Retail Banking here, so maybe that will hold some weight.  (The job I'm applying for is in a different department at the same company I currently work for.  I just have to go down one floor for the interview).  My boss doesn't know I'm applying for this job.  I told him that I have a dr. appointment and will have to leave for that.  So I can go to the interview and then just leave.  I am not in the mood to be at work today.

The local Resolve meeting is tonight.  One thing that I'm looking forward to.  My boss is also going to be out on vacation starting Wednesday and not coming back until Tuesday.  This could be good or bad.  Good, because I'll have a bit more freedom at work, but bad because everyone will be calling me instead of him.  It might be nice to be the low man on the totem pole again if I get this new job.  I have the urge to lay low for a while.

Isn't it tiring to put life on 'hold' as we muddle through IF? My hubby and I both commute (together, luckily) about 60 miles ONE way, every day. We want to get our house in order and put on the market too so we can move closer. That's just one of many things that have been put on hold for now.

Good luck with your job interview. I hope things aren't too stressful with the boss being gone and everyone coming to you for help.

Sounds healthy with a break, but a hard decision to take none the less.

I hope you get the new job and that you enjoy fixing up your house :)
