Couple days out from surgery now.

The custody battle drags on, but since I'm unemployed, I don't see how I can continue. My best hope is that I can reach some kind of settlement and get things back to how they were. I'm so tired of this part of the country. When the dust settles from all this crap, I want to pack it all up, find me some land, set up a windmill and be productive. On something.

Of course, all that depends on getting a job.  I've been on tons of interviews since I got laid off, but it's all come up empty.  I'm putting my hopes in a recruitment company, and they seem to be getting me in front of people.  The industry seems to be picking up, so maybe there won't be a zillion people vying for each job this time around.  I have such a hole to dig out of.

Nothing helps with that seasonal depression like kidney failure, a custody battle, losing your job, and having your family breathing down your back because you've had to borrow money for everything.  Here's hoping you never have to experience this.
