Last fall I believe I encouraged Dean to send his resume to Toby’s Dinner Theater, in hopes he could get a job doing what he loves, working in a theater.   Months went by and no one ever called.   Today someone called!! They offered him a job but he didnt ask how much it would pay, but he did tell them he’d work on the weekends when needed.  So he’s working this Sunday for 7 hours I think.   He agreed to work Saturday and still doesnt know what it pays.   I am encouraging him to see what it pays if he does it full time and ditches his “real” job.  Too bad it probably wouldnt pay enough to pay the bills.    but I’m so excited  that he can at least get his foot in the door and hoping I can manage another day with him gone all day.   Speaking of which…my dr called, she’s ordering an MRI of my back, someone should call me tomorrow to schedule it.   She said since the steroids helped some she’s hopeful that I wont need surgery to fix it, that I might be ok after a steroid injection in my back and physical therapy.  neither is appealing, but surgery is so not possible right now, and I’d deal with the pain rather than get it done.  So we’ll know more after an MRI and hopefully it’s nothing physical therapy cant fix.
