Plan B and other things

Ok, I know I said I'd apply for a job immediately upon my return to Kuwait, but that plan hit a few snags. Anyways, we've been back a few days. The jet lag is having its merry way with us, me in particular, but tomorrow, inshallah, I'm going to get up nice and early and just try and kick the thing once and for all. So on to Plan B.

There's not much of a plan:

  1. Accept non-contractual job at place I was working at this year
  2. Tutor like mad
  3. save, save, save
  4. obtain own vehicle
  5. work on my business.
Not necessarily in that order. But without a teaching contract, I will need to step up my business in order to get a visa from that.

You know, having told my dad that I plan to get a divorce this year kind of puts added pressure on me to get it done. It wouldn't be a tenth as scary or overwhelming if I knew hubby would willingly go down to the ministry of justice with and get it done, but I know he won't. I, however, am not going to take no for an answer. He is going down there with me whether he likes it or not. I'm just going to have to talk him into it. The alternative is just to much for me to think about.

Nervous

We're going back to Kuwait in less than a week. I will try to...no I will apply for a job immediately upon my return, inshallah. I know I should say I'll be applying for a divorce at the same time, but I want the job before I do that. However, I will not make it a condition for the divorce. I've done that enough already. I'm just trying to take care of myself as best I can.

May Allah bless me with a good job, ameen.
