Busy Week...

The last week has been insane. My husband's grandmother passed away on Sunday after a 3-year decline in health. Shiva ended this morning. My mother-in-law buried her mother in OH and sat shiva there for a while before coming home, where we set up the house for her to sit. His aunt and cousin are in from Israel until Wednesday, so they're keeping me busy 'till then.

On a lighter note, It seems bashert that I didn't get that job, because I was able to help get shabbos together, and get the house together so that my mother-in-law wouldn't have to worry about things getting done. On Friday I got a position that is even better than the one I interviewed for originally. It's on the neonatal intensive care unit, part time nights. It's a tough place to work - with all the tiny sick babies, but apparently - most of them get better, and that is very happy. So I'll work in the NICU first, and then they are going to train me on the pediatric unit as well - so that if I get pulled to fill a shift, I'll get pulled to peds, or to the healthy nursery. And it's only part time, which means I get to see my husband. I'm not sure yet when I'm starting - the next orientation is the week of shavuot, so they might make me wait 'till the end of June to start, which would be sad, but at least I know that I'll have the position. I REALLY hope I get to start sooner...

Oh, also - I got into the BSN (Bachelors of Science in Nursing) program that I wanted, I start in September.
