Rambliness, or something...

dreamflowerIt's been a while since I've posted anything personal--between the Challenge community, the MEFAs and so forth, I've been pretty much caught up in only posting fandom stuff.
But I have some great news to share! The DH has a new job! He started today--he will be in charge of getting a new hospice off the ground. It's affiliated with a nursing home the next town over--only a 20 minute drive as opposed to a nearly 2 hour one for the OKC job. There are some drawbacks--the health insurance is really sucky, a very poor policy. And his salary technically speaking is a tad less than he was making. But he wasn't earning what he was supposed to've at the other job anyway, and we finally figured out that we were *LOSING* $187 a month due to his commute and driving around to see patients. So while I'm more than a little worried about the insurance issue, I think financially we will actually be much better off. And *HE* will be a lot better off, because he won't be putting in 12 hour days with the driving.
I'm keeping busy this week with helping out at church with VBS. Last year I worked with the pre-schoolers, which was fun but a lot of work. This year my group is older, plus I have several helpers from the Youth Group, so it's actually a lot easier.
And I've had some really nice veggies out of the garden. I took some pictures of some of my harvest, and as soon as I can figure out how download pics on this laptop, I'll try to post some.
As soon as I get some laundry put away, I'm going to try to see if my voice-post thing will work. *crosses fingers* And then I'm going to make a batch of bread-and-butter pickles with some of my cucumbers...
