Happy birthday to my dear sister Susan.

Yet again, my husband is turning down another job offer, primarily because of my refusal. This one would have let him work at home initially, but any future advancement would have required a move to Florida. As such a move is out of the question for me, I told him that I didn't wan't to have him take the job, then have to find another a year later.

I feel bad, in that I don't want to be holding him back. As he said, he can't be turning down everything that comes up. But a better prospect seems to be in the offing, and I don't think we're in a position yet where I have to say yes.

I also have finally understood that no-one is going to speak up for me and my needs if I don't. It's taken a long time for me to get to that realization, and I'll be damned if I'm going to give it up now.
