It got a bit better today...now my wife and I are sharing in the misery of this business. She was just on the phone with me, tearful, and in distress, just like I am. I'm not sure if that is good or bad, but I guess I do have someone in my life who has empathy for what I am going through. Her frustrations are different than mine. And I think her reactions yesterday were just an outpouring of anger about our situation in life together. Being in business is a very difficult occupation, no matter what it is. There is an old saying that I wish I would have remembered before starting this - "never take a job you can't quit"...

Anyway, I'm rambling...feeling validated for my feelings, but no less depressed or hopeless today.
