It is depressing to be out of work. I don't like it at all. I do things every day, but since none of them earn me any money of my own, it feels a little worthless. My hope is that I will be able to generate a little income (even just $100/month) before my savings are completely depleted. I've already bought gifts for Mike for Christmas and his birthday because I couldn't stand the thought of buying him gifts with the money he earned from his job. (He says the money is *our* money, but I'm not used to sharing like that.) I wanted to buy him a new wedding ring for Valentine's Day and then I realized that I probably won't be able to afford it unless circumstances change by then. I hope they will.
In the meantime, I'll keep painting and trying to get my paintings in local galleries and keep looking for freelance writing jobs. I really need to rework my portfolio.
