Started applying for work :P

Well I bit the bullet and have started applying for work. Started with Walmart of all places. lol Bottom of the barrel I know but I figure it's better than just sitting here getting worse. I just have to look at this for what it is, temporary work while I fix things and heal myself. I can look for something better later too. I'll probably apply for Safeway and a few other places too. Anyway sorry for making the MHS forum my personal blog, just felt like posting this.

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.

And you have begun.

I've not applied for 3 positions, more to come probably. We will see how things work out. Still feel anxious about working again since it's been a while and these aren't my first choice of job but I have to learn to bite the bullet and get out of my comfort zone FAR more than I'm used to. This should be a good learning experience if I can let it be one.

I find myself anxious about what's to come as I replied to Peggy it's been some time since I last worked and these aren't the best of jobs, but like both of you said, you need to take those first steps.
