I'd be better if the stock market went up over 9000 again. I need to take the Roth 2008 money out because I won't earn enough to put money in unless I won the MM last night. This deepening recession is a bit alarming. I have two friends looking, one for part-time, and they are not having luck -- worse, the first says people are taking a month to say "no" and you know how the longer you wait, the more hopeful you are? I know that feeling.

The second friend's old boss (she was out two years with her youngest) is trying to arrange for her to come back at part-time again. Apparently someone there wants to cut back hours. I wonder if that person will change plans, and the hours for my friend will vanish.

This makes me think I'd better find a job that starts after the first, first.... I hope all the clothing gets sorted and staged today, and receipts in the files. They'e sorted --
