Well, you had a lot going on and you did the best you could back in August. I am surprised you can't at least find something in retail stores being that it's the holidays and often stores are looking for extra help. At least that would get you out for a while and put "some" money in your pocket and it's just temporary. Ugh, I say that but I have not worked in retail since I was really young. Temp jobs are probably slow because of the time of year, being that it's the holidays.
