On a decent note, I joined that agency and have already done 7 assignments in the last 2-1/2 weeks. I've had my struggles and it's certainly nothing consistent and reliable, but I am hoping that when my unemployment runs out, this can be my saving grace so that I don't lose my home before finding full time work!

The one greatest stressor is not knowing when I'll be asked to do an assignment....at this moment, I have nothing else scheduled. The other stressor is allowing myself to be on-call for emergencies...which means I have to be able to drop everything that I'm doing and run...which has happened twice in the last 2-1/2 weeks, causing me to lose an entire night's sleep both times and having to wake my daughter up to take her to my moms in the middle of the night. So unfair to her....but I need to get my foot in the door as a reliable source.
