I got called in to work 7 hours yesterday. Not bad for a Sunday. I didn’t get called out again in the evening – woohoo! More good news is that on our new schedule I don’t have any weekend call, only a couple regular shifts on Saturday.
Today is my day off and I’m spending it making Jack happy. We played lots of games, read books, and later are going to take a walk with Jem. We went down to Littleton to have lunch with Ben for the last time. I don’t think I’ve explained on the blog about his work changes yet. Basically, he’s been getting very tired of his job and feeling stuck there. During his days with Jack he realized how easily he could do school online during naps. He found a great program at Regis to get his Computer Science degree through online classes. I’m so excited for him to go back to school and get his degree. Regis was really good to me and I know he’ll have great classes there. For now, he is taking three pre-reqs through Red Rocks online. He got accepted at Regis and will start classes through them starting in January. At first we thought he would continue to work until then, but we decided that life would be happier if he quit sooner. Tomorrow is his last day. I think we’ll do fine on just my salary. It will really pay off when he can launch himself into a new part of his career in a year or two (he’s still figuring out how long it will take). In the mean time, I think he’s going to have a blast taking classes in a field he loves.
And for no reason, here’s a video of me and Jack!
Near and Far from Rachel Mason on Vimeo.
Jack likes to see himself on the computer screen. This is another boring baby video. I’m whispering “near” and “far” to Jack, so no, there’s nothing wrong with your sound. You can’t hear anything but Ben’s computer fan buzzing.
I like the moment when you can see Jack see himself. Also, you look cute in that video. Also, yay Ben! I guess you didn't attach the wrong file after all!
Go Ben! Go computers! Go Rachel and Jack Danger!
