In need of a sign!

I have this giant decision to make – a career decision.  I have three choices.  I’ve made  a lost, you know, the old pros/cons list. 

It ruled one option out pretty quickly.  That option is to continue doing what I’m doing, which is working two jobs and never having any time off.

The second option is better than the first but doesn’t offer a lot of security.  BUT, it’s local.  It’s doing the job I do part-time (the station) only.  I’ll get more hours if I’m available.  I’ll have no guaranteed hours.  Maybe some pays, I won’t have enough to pay my mortgage. 

The third option has a lot of perks but requires I drive to Ottawa (about 45 minutes from home).  Now, if you live in a big city, you must think I’m a big pansy.  BUT, for me, it would be highway.  I would need a new car (which totally sucks ’cause I just got one less than a year ago.  It’s a total lemon though.)  My car insurance would go up and I would, I’m guessing, at the end of a month, dish out $500 more than I am now because of the car and travel expenses.  Now… will I make that much more?  I’m not sure. 

The weather’s really awful tonight.  There was a car in the ditch on my way home.  It’s the first snow.  People are nervous and a little crazywhen it snows for the first time each year.  I’ll have to drive in this crap whether I want to or not.  I know I already do it but, it takes me 30 minutes instead of 20 as opposed to 2 hours instead of 1 to get to the Ottawa job.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.  I wish someone would just tell me what I’m supposed to do.  What does my gut say?  I’m not sure.  It keeps changing its mind!  Stupid GUT!

Well, while all this has been whirling in my brain, I’ve knit Sharon’s Wurm.  I modified it because she didn’t want it slouchy like mine.

Again, not a great picture.   I miss summer when I could just go outside at 6:14 p.m. and take a nice picture because it was still light out.  Solstice is in a few weeks and then the days will start to get longer again. 

I also got started on my sister’s February Lady, finally.  I think I may have mentioned that already.  I really don’t like the buttonholes they suggest.  I’ve got two buttonholes done and too many rows to undo to make them nice.  I’ll just have to live with it.

I think the color’s pretty kick-ass!  It’s bold and I like it.  So, seeing as this is my sister’s Christmas present, I won’t be posting any more pics – in case she looks at my blog and sees it.  She knows I’m making it but I don’t want her to see the in-progress-version past this point.  Sorry France! 

We’re all heading to Lake Placid this weekend – the family.  I can’t wait.  We had a fantastic time last year.  NATURALLY, I can’t work on France’s FL if she’s there so… I’ll have to start another small project.  I had a big list in my head but, for some damn reason, I can’t remember anything that was on it!!!!  So, my gut is coming up short and my brain’s not working.  GREAT!
