The unexpected!

I thought I had this year mapped out in my mind of how it would go, but it is amazing how doors open and change happens.  I wasn’t really planning on looking for employment that hard after my job ended in October, 2025, but I have accepted a new full-time position with NOCD.  I will be providing counseling to clients that mostly deal with OCD.  I am looking forward to the change it will bring.  The plus side is that I don’t have to worry about insurance since I will be working, with all the changes to Obamacare right now and the worry that them marketplace won’t be covering parts of deductibles I was looking at having to pay over a grand a month for insurance and on top of that I take a medication that I have been paying over a grand a month for out of pocket as it isn’t covered by my insurance.   So those worries will now be gone.  The big plus is that I work remotely and will be able to set my own schedule.  

I start work this coming Friday and then have a 3 day weekend for the holiday!  I am looking forward to being home as I have been gone since before Christmas.  I just got home today and am planning to spend the next couple days getting things set up for work and cleaning house.  I have gotten used to having time to do things like deep cleaning and organizing my house but know that working will cut into a lot of that time.  I need to go down and get my office set up for work, and then be organized and ready for Friday!   I plan on going back to Megan’s next month and spending a couple weeks.  I will be planning on doing some traveling and working while traveling in my camper office!!  

I got to spend the last 3 weeks hanging out with Megan, Lincoln, and Vallie.  It was great getting to spend time and get lots of snuggles with the kids.  Went to Butte to get to watch my godson play hockey.  He has been playing with the Butte Irish junior league but he is now transferring to Minnesota to play.  It was great to get to watch his last game.  Lincoln was excited because he got a game puck after the game.
