Progress in March 2011

I now have two freelance grant writing consulting jobs, and information on how to access more networks to increase the chances of getting interviews. I continue to apply for jobs, but there aren't always jobs available that meet my qualifications. I am still focusing on the Puget Sound area (I live -- Redmond, an eastern suburb of Seattle), but have decided to expand my search, focusing on both Florida and Washington D.C. I might also look at the Los Angeles area, although I would hate to move back there. I absolutely loathe the traffic. I am hoping to stay in this area as I love the people here, the environment, the ethnic diversity, the creativity, the intellectual and cultural atmosphere. This is by far the favorite place I have lived, except, of course, Africa.

Things are Changing...

This blog began primarily with a health focus, but now that I am searching for a job, I think there's going to be a bit more about that on here. The health situation has been shifting and changing too. A lot of my issues got solved with figuring out (and treating) the Vitamin D deficiency along with getting a new bed. Then I dealt with the anxiety, and now I am starting to work out on a regular basis. But it's taken -- what -- 9 months? I have to get a job, and soon, and it can't take 9 months. So there's going to be a big shift in focus.

First order of business is to get a little stop-gap job to supplement my ssdi. Then I'm going to pull out the big guns.
