Hvert - Oh no, I'm not dreading leaving the house (I once did-I had huge social phobia few years back) I'm pretty sure it's just my eagerness to work this time, just like you said-still I hope I'm not overdoing it.

I won't exactly become rich with graphic arts...but at least the market for it isn't non-existent here. There are a few places hiring, and I can go freelance if everything else fails. It's not a glamorous job, but I know I can survive...and I like it
