It would mean a pay and leisure-time cut, and an increase in expenses.

So I probably won't take the job if they offer, but I have an interview for a "residential counselor" position on Thursday in the Cambridge area.

If it heals my scraped-up heart and makes me feel significant, and like I could learn something new and vital, I might take it, though.

If I don't take it, I plan on setting myself some new personal goals for reading a lot, seeing old friends and making new ones.

And maybe one day I'll go back to church and let God try her hand at Band-aiding again.
