I need to take a break from blogging, and well, everything for a bit until I get on my feet again.  I have been so unbelievably sick for over a week now.  I have a lot to say about the election, but because of its tremendous importance, I wanted to wait until I have the energy to craft a coherent post.  In the meantime, I have applied for two more jobs this week.  One was for a freelance writing job, for which I’ve already been turned down (admittedly, that one was a stretch).  The other is a scientific position with a company right outside of Philly.  Rob and I joked that we’d consider moving to PA now that it’s gone blue:)  Actually, the blue state/red state break-down has nothing to do with our decisions, but it’s fun to joke about it anyway.  Now that those job apps are out of the way, I need to focus on getting better.  I went to the doctor yesterday and he told me it needs to go away on its own, and that it would probably take a couple weeks.  Ugh.  In the meantime, I’m in seriously miserable territory trying to recover while also taking care of H.  And yesterday was Rob’s birthday—I ran myself ragged getting his birthday dinner together, but in the end, I pulled it off.  Hey, he deserves it.  Happy Birthday Papa!  I’ll tune in again when I’m feeling better.  Till then, peace!
