Gratitude 30
1. I have a job offer for a part-time, paid CPE internship. It isn't enough hours to be a "real" residency, but it's something serious, and will get me my 3 more units of CPE that I need (or well, that I need at a minimum) to get a real chaplaincy job. At worst, I'll need another unit, done separately... I still haven't heard from the one other place, so it seems likely that I'll be taking this, and then adding another part-time job to it, but still, the idea that there's a real, live offer makes me awfully happy. This one probably deserves its own entry, really. But instead, I'll add on the following.
2. My parents are coming to spend shabbos/the weekend with us this week (and some of our favorite local people are coming for lunch with them).
3. My babysitting charge has been relatively well behaved of late, which I'm particularly grateful for, as I've been with him far more than my usual number of hours this week.
4. Dictionaries- and the sheer variety of them that we own
5. We now how a free used air conditioner, courtesy of H's cousin, who no longer needed it, and H, who went out to Brooklyn to pick it up, and brought it back via subway. Our only costs were subway fare and a little bit for a cab from the subway to our place, as it was raining (and the thing is pretty heavy). I'm not someone who feels a huge need for air conditioning, but for the worst of the heat, it should be a nice respite.
