The career coach I spoke with yesterday told me that larger corporations are postponing hiring right now due to a potentially looming recession. She also said that the smaller companies are hiring gig people, or freelancers, to save money, and in my field in particular. So perhaps THIS is why I haven't heard back in a single application in the last 2 weeks?

She also gave me great advice about how to handle discussions with interviewers about my last job and what happened there. I liked the angle she came up with for me.

I am having my resume redone & professionally written. For the coaching and resume work combined, I didn't really have to pay a lot of $. It's all worth it to me to spend some money to help me in my career.

I have to see my husband tomorrow, who has a pair of earrings for me. He is dropping them off after work. He bought them for me when we were last together because I had lost mine at the store. This is a sore spot. Now I have to pay him for the earrings because I don't want him buying them for me when we are divorcing.

The divorce hearing is just one week away - next Tuesday. I feel SO weird... like this is all very surreal for me. I had a dream this morning that I was in love with another man - a new man. He also had brown hair and brown eyes, like my husband. I woke up feeling good from that dream. It was a nice dream. Then I woke up to reality. UGH.
