Muddling Through
So, this is Day 9 of me being unemployed after working for Blue State Digital, and it is definitely not as fun or comfortable as Day 1 and 2 were. I’m still trying to figure out how I’ll be surviving, and that is stressful. It’s not for lack of effort, I’ve spent most of every day doing what I need to be doing—but life is still uncertain. I won’t dwell on this unduly. Suffice it to say that I am at a point of stress.
One nice thing – Begich is likely to win in Alaska, as he has taken the lead in votes, and remaining votes to be counted are in districts that lean towards Begich. Sen. Ted Stevens may yet fall. Sadly, Sean Tevis was not as successful in unseating his Republican incumbent.
You know, I abruptly resigned (with notice) from Wal-Mart in 2007 because I felt as long as I was there in my safety net I would never work towards any of my goals. I was unemployed for over a month, which is not a good place to be when you are the sole provider for a wife and a daughter. It was pretty scary too, but it all worked out in the end—I think you’ll find your way also. I know this sounds sappy, but I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, Holb. And I know what you mean about the safety net, that was my primary reason for doing this too—but now, I’m finding that acute stress is as sapping of energy as comfort. Yikes.
