Starting over - again

OK, I'm going to try to start writing again, starting with this blog.  Apparently people do look at it occasionally - hi whoever you are!  For over the past year I've been unemployed, but it has been a great year!  I took some graduate classes towards the Master's degree I may or may not ever get.  I got a paralegal certificate.  I'm looking for a job.  Let me just say right now that there are too many people in Austin and there are no more jobs.  Really.  Just go home.

I finished a pair of soft, warm, fuzzy socks to wear around the house.

I made them big on purpose and I love them immensely.

I have started a baby blanket for my oldest niece's pending child--I'll take pictures and post when it is done.  I'm starting to plan Christmas knitting, so I'll have plenty to do.

It has been fantastic to be unemployed as long as I still had money, but now I really need something.  I didn't think it would be so hard to find another job.  I'm not even getting replies to the applications I send out.  But maybe it's for the best anyway.  Maybe I just need to find a way to make a living without working for someone else.  It would have been easier to do if I still had savings, but that's beside the point.

Even so, it will all work out for the best.
