I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 28 years, disabled daughter, adult son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!Okay, I'm a little overly chatty today, this being my 5th entry, but it was kind of a big day.
DH got a call today from his old employer from 11 years ago and they want to do two phone interviews with him tomorrow. I'm not sure if it means anything but he might at least be able to get a job offer in writing with a salary he can use to get a better rate of pay at work. It wasn't like he was expecting this phone call at all.
I don't think he really wants to work in town, he likes his current job, just doesn't feel adequately compensated right now.
It would also be starting our medical all over again and I'm not sure if I want to do that in the middle of this kidney thing. COBRA's are expensive, we had to do that when I was pregnant with Rose. Not fun.
I don't know what to make of it at all. I'd like to have him home every night, have paid vacations and paid sick leave that you can cash out if you don't use it all again, but the potential of his April promotion is so much more, they would really have to bring a very high salary to the table. But he left his old job with an excellent reputation and its possible they could give him whatever he asks for. They are kind of desperate to fill positions right now.
April is just 2 months away. I do not want him to jump the gun so close to it going off. It's very confusing.
But he'll give the interviews tomorrow and we'll go from there. No use storing up worry now for future use.

I agree that you should play it very cool and let the chips fall where they may. But be willing to play either side.

I hope you and your DH will get what you want, all the best.
