Curtain Down


Image result for end of an era . 

I am done.

Just got word that I was NOT chosen for the part-time, temporary Materials Handler position (i.e., book shelver) I applied for at the library.

I'm taking this as official proof that I am unemployable.

Monday, I'll go get my name on the subsidized housing waiting list.  If I'd done this when I first arrived in Lawrence, I'd be at the head of the list now.

I'm poor.

I'm not deflated or angry or frustrated. I'm just done. Ready to get off the job-hunt ferris wheel and redirect my focus toward learning how to live with what I have. There's actually some relief attached. The hunt was stressful and humiliating. I have become Mother Woods.
