You always hear "What would you like first, the good news or the bad news?" So today you will hear the good news first. . . you have no choice in the matter.
The good news is that Mom's biopsy is over. They numbed her so it wouldn't be so painful, and she said the doctor was pretty funny and made her laugh. The bad news is we won't have any news until Friday. Now she gets to wait some more, but we are thinking she was really worried about the biopsy procedure itself, so she's relieved it's over.
The good news is that I was offered the Director of Finance Position at Head Start. Wow is that a boost to my ego. Maybe I am qualified to do something that I thought maybe I wasn't qualified for initially. The bad news is that it would be about a $20,000/year pay cut, so I can't take the job. So, here goes my optimism. At least I have a job, right? I was hoping the salary they quoted me would be with part-time hours in the summer--well it was, but it meant 2 weeks without pay in the summer--that's it. So, I have to call them back tomorrow and say sorry but there's just no way I can afford to take that big of a cut. I guess I thought it would be a little bit higher than what they said--but it wasn't. Oh well. They even told me that salary was at the high end of the range too. So, onward I go. . . it will be okay--I have my family and my friends and so much to be thankful for--now let's just focus on Mom. . . and pray that there is no bad news to go along with the good.

Congratulations on the job offer! Yea for you!!!!! VERY impressive you smartie you! I'm sorry the $$ didn't pan out for you. You'll find the "right fit" - I believe in you!
I'm glad your mom's biopsy is over, as I'm sure she is. I just called her but am sure she's out for breakfast still. I am hoping and praying for the good news to follow too.
