Late Night; Early Day

Picked the grandkids up from "skoo" because Meg was running late from work. 

Ran the HCARS meeting tonight, which included a vote on a change of venue for our Field Day location...to the Hendricks County Fairgrounds.  Skipped the social hour.

Came home to find Meg wanting me to pick up prescriptions for Ryan.  (Didn't have my cell phone on.)  Ry has some eye irritation that makes him cry, sometimes.  Not pinkeye.  Allergies, perhaps.  Poor little guy...

Meg has a pretty good job at Kelly Services.  They like her enough after a month to give her a $1 an hour raise...but she has no benefits and no real answers as to her longevity there.  She has kept her options open.  Today, IUPUI hired her to work in the Bursar's office.  She will make 16 cents an hour less than at Kelly, but she will have benefits, including insurance, pension, paid time off, and free tuition for coursework--which she intends to take advantage of.  It is a casual work environment, which means no need for new clothes.  It will be a longer commute in an iffy vehicle, but this is what she wants...and God will provide!   I am so proud of the way she has taken over her life.  She is certainly not financially ready to live on her own--and she knows it--but at least she is taking care of business.  We still have to have a talk about the balance of housework...

The rest of the world can happen without me.  Time for bed!
