I suppose I could blame the fact that August will mark my one year of being unemployed. While I have documented ENDLESSLY my wanderings through the various "systems" and my disappointment in said systems, I have actually loved being home daily with my children.
I suppose I could blame the fact that I've gained thirty pounds this year when I could have been working out constantly, although I've gotten more exercise than I've gotten in years.
I suppose it's because I've listened to stories of abuse for almost six months now and am having a terrible time not internalizing them. Writing my book has become agonizing at times.
Whatever.
So I'll leave you with a couple of pictures around our town.....
First up....this is the sculpture outside the Unemployment Security Office....SERIOUSLY.
This next picture goes to prove the economy is bad as this is our local cemetery.
Persevering on....

gah, the economy is awful! I saw a similar advertisement at my local cemetery too. Super sad! I hope things get better =)
sale banners in the cemetery is just wrong... there's just some things you don't do, no matter how bad the economy is!
I hope the extension of unemployemnt benefits will be helpful to you....now that the
Republicans got their thumbs out of their asses and are going to approve it!
Wow, that sculpture is just wrong! Stopping by from SITS. I hope your opportunities expand soon!
While I believe this is an "any port in a storm" situation and am thankful, I really resent the "holier than thou" and "this is your karma" conversations.
amen, sister! xoxoxox
