Health issues

All, I'm reaching out for good thoughts to the universe, prayers, etc.

I had an ultrasound of the abdomen as was having horrific stomach pain, like attacks.  The GI Dr suspected gallbladder stones, so sent me to an US.

The US revealed gallstones and they referred me to a surgeon to have it removed. They also found a liver cyst, beginnings of fatty liver as well as a 3cm lesion....for which I have to call tomorrow am and schedule an MRI.

I've been having digestive issues and horrific stomach pain for a long time now...just a little rattled by the results.  

Guess who is coming back?

Hi steppers!  As you may recall, my SD (21) that had a little boy a few months back.  She moved to be w/her fiance's family and they were going to build a place on the parents land out of state.  We were all pretty bummed out she was moving and we weren't even going to meet the little one, she left about a month or so before her due date.

Well, the fiance dragged feet getting a job and recenly had landed two part time jobs, and the loan they applied for was denied.

Any lawyers or familiar with wills/POA?

SO, I have a sick feeling BM is behind all this, I'd guarantee it 100pct.....that said, I'm glad things are in action to take my BIL out of the equation.

Quick explanation:  BIL screwed my MIL over right after my FIL passed some 7 years ago by adding himself AND his wife (now ex-wife) on the deed to the house.  He also put himself/ex-wife secondary as POA. 

I'm a Step Grandma!

So, my little step grandson is here, he was a little early but him and mom are doing well, healthy and back home.  Remember she moved out of state with her fiances family.

OMG he is absolutely perfect!! DH the hard as* who hated everything related to her pregnancy and all of it, is quite obviously melting and having a huge change of heart (I knew it would happen lol).

My poor mom.

Uggh, I'm pretty upset with some things my mom shared today.  We lost my dad several years back to cancer, she has since remarried - it was a very quick decision after dating just a few months.  We all tried to get her to apply the brakes but hey, in the end it was their choice-to us the rush was a red flag.

OT- I got a job!!

So, I accepted a job offer- this one was my preferred company.  I had started initial talks with other companies too, the last one was even recently.  

I'm not overly thrilled with salary- because it's lower then I had at my previous company- but at my age and a gap of a little over a year, most people are facing the same- not finding jobs w/the income they made.  

Culturally, it is a perfect fit- the manager is awesome and from the same country I grew up in (S. America). 

OT- jobs come like buses

To the poster that mentioned when job searching it's like buses, nothing and then several at once.  I did my 3rd interview with the one company I'd really like w/the hiring managers and VP of Sales.  He happened to have worked for my previous company years ago and is also a fellow pianist :)    I have verified that they did call my manager and general manager at work to check for references.  All looks promising but of course, no guarantees.  They said it would be about a week.to hear back.  

Job update- and seperation questions

So, some good news.  I have had 2 interviews already with this company that I got put in touch with from a former colleague.  The first with HR, immediately the next day they wanted the 2nd round with 2 of the hiring managers and their assistant. I also had to create 3 slides in powerpoint (about me, achievements and action plan).  All this happened the night before SD was to move out of state w/her fiance.  So I worked on it that night and we still had about 1.5hrs to visit with them over at my MIL's.
