Sat, Feb 3rd

Thankfully I am feeling a little better after a week of little sleep, several three hour return trips to the hospital, three job interviews, and countless phone calls to Dad and George to make sure they were okay. I even received an offer letter in the mail for the position as Credit Controller here in Hertford. My start date is February 7th, and will bring an end to five months of unemployment.

Once we were dressed, we headed into town and did some shopping. We hadn't planned it, but we also picked up something for a special celebratory meal: seven sirloin steaks for £10. Not only did they prove value for money, but when we had a couple for dinner with a baked potato, they tasted excellent.

Back home Dawn had a video call with her mum, Brady, to chat about the events of the last week. Even though they exchange emails every day, they still enjoy catching up with things at the weekend. Especially when they can see each other on the computer screen as well.

As always, I called Dad and George in the morning and evening to see how things were. This evening Dad mentioned that my other brother Phillip and his wife Jean had stopped in to see him with some grapes and drink.
