I'm sleeping until noon so that the days seem shorter.
Not a good sign.
Seth caught my flu bug and missed two days of work. But he's feeling better and he went back today. Even though his job sucks a big one and he's starting to feel the pressure of HAVING to make money (since I'm unemployed and his student loans are due now along with all the other things he already takes care of). I hate it. I hope he finds something better soon.
My job interviews went well. I mean, I think. I guess I have to wait and see what happens.
This month's rent check cleared but seriously I'm tapped out now. Kind of scary feeling. But we have ramen, sandwich meat, and chicken helper to eat, plus laundry money so I'm not going to panic until all those things are gone and I'm STILL unemployed.
Oh, and we got HBO while I was sick this week. But it's free for 12 months (some kind of offer they're doing) so that's awesome, and it's pretty much saving my life right now.
I know I should go to the gym but I'm still really congested. I can't even laugh hard without going into a coughing fit. So I might wait another day or so.
In the meantime my apartment is starting to be sparkling clean.

I feel your pain (and still kind of do). When Mark quit his job to start his own business, all of a sudden it was "oh crap, I can't keep this part time job and make it work." And scrambled for several months to find a full time job while paying our mortgage out of savings (which are now severely depleted). We still struggle with it all, but it has gotten much much easier.
That being said - since Seth hates his job so much and you seem to be having trouble finding employment in Seattle, have you thought about moving somewhere else where the cost of living is ever so much lower? (Though I know, not nearly as cool).
The rational part of my brain knows you're right. And of course moving is always an option (but more like a last resort). Is it bad that I would rather be broke in this city than doing pretty well somewhere else? I just sort of feel like that would be giving up, and I'm not *quite* ready to admit defeat. At least, not yet. Ask me again in a few months and it might be different. :) We have looked in a few of the smaller cities around Seattle, but haven't quite found a anything inspiring enough to move for yet.
