A Month-ish of being Unemployed

Well let's see. Here are the facts. There are NO jobs in Cleveland. Seriously. I have a finance degree and experience and an awesome resume and I write good cover letters. I have networked my ass off. (Well not literally. I have been yoga-ing my ass off though.) There are days I have submitted 20 resumes. 10 on other days. And you know what? NO PHONE CALLS!!! It's not even like I am getting set up for interviews.
I'm not depressed but I can definitely see how unemployment can lead a person to depression. Some days there really isn't a point to getting dressed. I mean I do still bathe but that just means I take my pajamas off and put a fresh pair on after my bath. Sure I've lunched. I can't do much shopping knowing my severance will run out soon and I will be left with no income. Well unemployment I suppose but that won't even pay the core bills. I have no debt except for student loans and I have no intention of wracking up credit card bills out of a need to quell my boredom. Our house is nearly immaculate. I made new cafe curtains for the kitchen. I'll post a picture when I take some. I've read a bunch of books. I have enjoyed my free time, don't get me wrong. BUT I WANT A JOB!
For now I will I go back to trying to enjoy being a stay-at-home-dog-mom.
