Getting quiet
I may not be posting much for a while. The elbow pain is bad again. I pretty much know what's triggering it. Driving, concertina playing and stress. Driving while stressed is probably the worse. I don't have to do it often now Henry's learning to drive, but I need to occasionally.
The unemployment thing is the biggest stressor by far. We're into the third month now and from past experience, I know it can get a lot worse than this. I can feel my stomach muscles starting to tense up - I hope the IBS isn't going to make a return. I remember that from the last long stretch of unemployment.
Anyway, typing isn't as easy as I'd like. I'll be doing all the stretches and exercises - they stop the pain from progressing past a certain point and they stop all the other muscles going as well, but they don't totally cure it.
The good news is that Richard's being very active on the job-hunting front. He's following multiple lines of attack on the job-hunting front, and doing a astrophysics Phd in between the job research to keep his morale up.
Here's Richard's Linked In profile.
"A highly experienced and creative system, network and software engineering specialist. Key ability lies in problem solving in the most demanding technological environments within critical time and budget constraints. Profound analytical and trouble-shooting capabilities are combined with knowledge of a wide range of techniques to solve apparently intractable technical problems. Solutions are communicated imaginatively with clarity and precision. Seeking a senior technical role in a high technology environment where the application of smart and innovative technical solutions can make a substantial difference to the bottom line. "

I am so sorry you have to bear that pain again. And the stress...it is not fair! Please, take care of yourself, I at least think of you and Richard...some help, is it? *Hugs hugs hugs*

My sympathies. I recently spent 2 1/2 years unemployed, and it was awful. I hope your period is much shorter!
