End of the day - got a second interview so not bad, and visiting clients tonight - may pick up a check or two.  Always good there.  And my sanity friend, our schnoodle, keeps me sane when the world is falling apart.  Spouse is sleeping, she is stressed.  So am I.    I have also joined Empty Nest group as the kids are all visiting everybody else this holiday season (not in much of a mood for it right now) so the house is so damn quiet.  This is natural of course, but too damn quiet for my mind.
