Coming up for air...

The past couple of days have been somewhat trying, to the extent that my technique of allowing myself a short "pity party" before "turning to" and addressing whatever the issue happens to be sort of got away from me, causing me to do The Major Mope™. And right now, I find myself faced with a largely blank screen, with not the slightest inclination to talk about the details of my predicament, except to say that the source of this most recent volley of outrageous fortune's slings and arrows has nothing to do with health and everything to do with finances.

(Wow, it took merely two sentences and the incorrigible optimist in me is already logging bullet points under the heading of "silver lining." I mean, I can improve my financial situation if I'm healthy, right?)

So I've already made a couple of phone calls to some of the dormant contacts on my list, and my list isn't exhausted yet. And if truth be told, I do have some of The Slow Work™ on the back burner (not enough to get excited about, but not an amount to ignore).
