Feeling a little less doomed lately. I really hate the prospect of putting my daughter in the care of a stranger while I work, but I don't see what else I can do. So silver lining is that I can at least look for a job I care about and get something out of my time away from home.

I've decided not to date. I always end up crying for one reason or another, usually because they cheat. Not dragging my daughter into that mess.
