Lonely.
Lonely is something that is always threatening in my currently situation.
Driving back from the Maine Fiber Frolic (where I was vending for the first time alone) Dori (my CRV) lost compression in one of the pistons. Crap.
It's going to cost 2-4k to fix. Or I get a used replacement car. This is posing a difficulty.
In the meantime, I'm completely grounded. Which... is rough. I don't even get my every two weeks visit to my friends' in Boston area. Hell, I can't even take large batches of Gnomespun orders to the fucking post office.
I'm going stir crazy and feeling incredibly lonely and trying not to feel depressed.
It doesn't help that the job search has gone pretty much nowhere. I'm applying to a CDC Epidemiology Fellowship, but don't know how likely it is that I'll get it (and it won't be until at least September that I know if I do get it).
Also just got some inside information on one of the things I still had been hoping might work out eventually. Not good news. Looks even more unlikely that it will go through now. ARGH.
So, life is a little rough now.
