Back to reality

I started a new job today - and so ends about 10 months of doing nothing but whatever I feel like. A bit sad in some ways - not the least of which is no longer being able to hang with hubby all day. But also kind of good. It's good to have somewhere to go and new people to meet. And having a little bit of money to spend won't hurt either.

Not that we'll be spending much (any) of it. Every little penny now has to get scraped up to buy a house. Though, with the lease running out on this place in October and luck being what it is, we'll most likely have to rent for another 12 months. This is not such a bad thing, except the concept of bringing a new baby home to a rental is not an entirely pleasing one. But in the scheme of things, that's not going to matter.

Speaking of babies, I have yet to break the news to the new boss. Not quite sure how to tackle that one. He was displeased enough to hear that his new starter would only be doing 4 days a week. How's he going to be when he finds out she's only going to be there for another 4 and a half months at best!
