Processing....

Tom still has no solid leads on jobs. Things continue to move along, with recruiters calling and such. The market is just slower than in the past, but hopefully it will not be too long and drawn out.

My life has been incredibly stressful. I am processing through a situation that has left me flattened, my self esteem and confidence, shattered. All the little things continue to go awry and drive me crazy. My oven is broken, four of my ten fish have died over the past few days making me afraid to turn on the aquarium light each morning for fear of what I will find, and I have felt rather sick lately. ( of course, that could be from the stress of all I am processing personally)

Life in the studio has not been fun either. The other day, I finally got a good platter done for a set of dishes I have been dragging my feet on completing. Yesterday, someone bumped the shelf and knocked a vase off it onto the unfired platter, shattering both. I am not sure I can bear the heat and go down and rethrow it.

At times like this, I am very thankful to have a loving and supportive husband. What a rock he is!
