Having a rough day.

I'm a pretty positive and upbeat person, but 3 months of job hunting will wear down anyone's optimism...

I'm super specialized and qualified in my field with ten years of experience... But as an international school teacher, having 3 dependents makes you a bit of a red headed stepchild...

Add to that my kids taking forever to sleep at night (like 2 hours) and then I'm too tired for my side hustle of writing...

Add to that a wife that I love but sees escapism into nostr or chilling alone as me not pulling my weight helping with the kids, so that starts drama and fights... And then has a hard time empathizing with me when I tell her I'm a bit worn down today...

Rough day.

Hopefully I hear back from a school soon... Just spent hours today applying. Broadened the net.

Give the nostr a break.

Keep the wife happy.

🙏

That made me smile

I see you, friend.

Kids not sleeping is really rough, especially if that's when you try to focus 1:1 on your marriage. You've been putting a bunch of guides out over the last month. Focus on your wife. the rest of us will be okay till you get back. Praying for you.

Yep, focus on your wife. And if necessary pick up a temporary gig, even somethinglike Uber, just to tide you over. Nothing wrong with doing a temp job you dont enjoy, if it will help you bridge a tough time.

deep breath, stay strong
