Yes, I am still devoting my every waking moment (and plenty of my sleep time) to the job hunt. It is humbling.
On the bright side, several of my friends have been very reassuring--they remind me that LOTS of people are looking for work, and that I live in a kind of one-industry town at the end of a quiet peninsula, and that I have spent the past 18 years raising children instead of fostering business contacts, and that my part-time, freelance experiences really DO have some value outside of my own head, and that I will not be looking for work forEVER--my job is out there, I just need to find it, or create it. And I will.
Friends are telling me about jobs they think I might be well-suited for. They're handing out my resume. They're encouraging me to keep writing. One even put out a call on Facebook last night, so HER friends are contacting me with questions and advice.
It's not a job, but it is support from a broad and loving community. And for that I am grateful, today.

Good job on being grateful. That's important. Today I'm not grateful. I feel like a whale and it's stopping me from being grateful.
This too shall pass. And when you get your pre-baby body back, you will feel like QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE. Trust me.
