I always feel frazzled this time of year. I need to find homes for the piles of new stuff sitting around the house. The kids are out of school and will be for another week. This year I have a job I’m trying to apply for that closes in a day. I need to go grocery shopping. The nativity set still needs to come down. One of my kids has a birthday in less than two weeks and I need to prepare for that. I think I need to start going to the gym again tomorrow if I want to meet my 2024 exercise goals. Oh and with all four of us at home the house is in a constant state of disaster.

I can’t even focus long enough to write out a real to do list!

I am stressing out a little about my job search. I have had several people tell me recently that “places are desperate for employees; you’ll get hired soon!” but 1) that doesn’t make me feel better about all the applications I’ve submitted that haven’t even resulted in an interview and 2) yes, they are desperate for workers at Dairy Queen but that doesn’t mean I want to work at Dairy Queen.

On the other hand, the longer I’m funemployed the more time I can spend on this blog and bring joy to the six people who read it.
