generally, i have a hard time sharing bad things. i prefer to share the good stuff, and let the bad stuff just kind of hide away in the back of my life. but let’s break through the silence today. i don’t have much to go on, but i’m going to post something. even if it’s a random smattering of stuff.

-i’ve had some kind of really obnoxious illness for about 5 days. i’m very tired. at least it is limited to my sinus passages.

-the fixer quit smoking yesterday- cold turkey- due to lack of funds. he is extremely unhappy.

-net result is a very quiet home today. me sinking into my illness-induced misery and some less than exciting data analysis, and him keeping to himself because he’s in a very foul mood.

-i went to a seminar last week that ended up being a false front for some weird ass program recruitment thing for postdocs. not thrilled, but thanks for the free lunch i guess.

-considering what to do about the growing-term spousal unemployment. i caught a job ad that was practically made for my desired career track and to-date training in a bigger city. i’m going to apply and see what happens- once i’m more clear-headed. right now i’m not with it enough to sell myself.

-regardless, when my contract here ends, if the fixer is not using his college degree, then we’re moving to Semi-nearby Big City.

-i’ve been awake for about 4 hours. i kinda want to take a nap now. yeah, i’ll go do that.
