Checking in again today to report that I've taken some action regarding feeling useless as I continue my (very long) job search. A local museum is looking for a volunteer to help with cataloguing collections and doing research of some sort, working with a computer. Office work would be right up my alley. I left a voicemail with the woman in charge and hope to God she will call me back. I can't stand being at home like this with no purpose. It's gone on too long.
