I'm 36- old enough to vote twice so why did I only get one ballot?
Yes- I knew that it is mostly FM fog. It's just been getting worse. I'm
trying to re-regulate my sleep, helped out with yet more drugs (I really
hate it) but I am still sleeping a total of 12-14 hrs a day. Makes the job
hunt difficult, and the idea of a normal workday daunting. I also wonder
if I'm blanking out in interviews? My kids and friends fill in for me
around the house, but... The consistent statement coming on callbacks is
something like "We thought you were wonderful, and you were 2nd, 3rd,
whatever, but we hired someone who has five years experience with X agency
already... but we wish you luck!" I sus pect the depression from all of
this is not helping...

BTW, I will be off-line most of tomorrow and maybe thru the weekend-
James' dad is not doing well, refusing treatments, won't get out of bed
anymore except for the bathroom and a couple bites of food. I'm meeting
James there tomorrow and hoping we can force Dad out of bed to see the
doctor, just out a little, trying to get something out of the time he has
left. Send us good thoughts, etc- we will need them. Even Mr. Unflappable
James is having a hard time dealing with everything. (We also have to get
Dad to set up funeral arrangements. Not an easy thing to do.)

But I will continue to post and annoy until tomorrow! ;-)
