Change is often hard for people so they struggle not to change. I think this is a great opportunity and while it may not have come at the very best time, it may be close. Sometimes life just throws something at you just when you need it/can handle it. I say apply for the job and let er rip. If you get the job, it was meant to be, if not you are still comfortable. Not much is worse than having to take something because there is nothing else. For this job, you can be in the drivers seat. Just decide how much you want it. If you would be fine without getting it, make it more of you interviewing the company not the com-pany interviewing you. If there is no union involved, negotiate as hard as you can for best hours, salary, benefits. It is not messing with them to tell them what you want and see if they meet it. They need you not you need them. This is commonplace for white collar jobs but that is not to say it isn't done for other non union jobs. If they counter with less, you can take it or leave it, without burning bridges. Messing would be if they met your requests and you still say no.
If you really want the job, just tone it down a bit.
