Two steps forward, but I'm still sinking...

Wouldn't you know it- my mother called today.

I was alternately weepy and morose, with spurts of 'motivated' thrown in for good measure. She was calling to ask if I would come over and clean the birdcage, but it was wonderful to talk to her nonetheless.

She has no money to give me. So I am no better off.

I did, however, send out some applications (aaron said "stop waiting for the letters of Rec and just apply!"), visited WeeBee public for a subbing application which I will hand in tomorrow, and went to the post office to send my brother some ties for his b-day.

I also took a nap. I've felt very run-down this week and exhausted, which is either due to the stress\depression or possibly it is dietary. Maybe both. I made a very healthy dinner last night and the night before, but I don't eat much during the day. Maybe I need more protein! One gets sick of PB sandwiches sometimes.

I'm subbing the HS tomorrow in a 'supplementary' fashion, which means I'm the HS's bitch for the day. Give me strength.

I also sent off paperwork for my licensure. And I'm thinking (as I always do after I visit the post office), of taking the civil service exam. I can be a mailperson!

I just neede to blog instead of do something more self destructive... or productive... I just needed to be neutral for a few minutes.

Apologies for the boring-ness.
