It's Been a While

It's been nearly a month since my last post, so I wanted to provide a brief update.

My mood has gradually improved, but my job search is still progressing slowly. It's frustrating how people expect you to gain experience when they don't give you a chance. If you don't land the right job straight out of high school or know the right connections, you're stuck, especially in small towns. Unfortunately, our business isn't sufficient for farming to be a full-time endeavor, allowing at least one of us to stay home.

Just as things were starting to improve emotionally, Farmer Hubby and I had a vacation planned, which we are currently on. Unfortunately, we both got sick during the first half. Now, halfway through our rare week-long vacation together each year, aside from an occasional extra Saturday when I take a vacation day for an archaeology meeting, we're mostly feeling better. We still have the occasional dry cough, my sinuses are stuffy, and we're both exhausted. As if being sick wasn't bad enough, when you start to recover, you feel drained. So, while it hasn't been a great vacation, it could have been worse, but it wasn't a particularly good one either.

Hopefully, when I return to work next week, I can get back into the swing of things and resume writing posts.
