Being out of work always hurts, whether it be for 2 years or 2 weeks - and it hurts all the harder if you are someone who has always worked hard to provide for yourself. It's why you can't allow yourself to give in to the frustration and the temptation to become depressed, because that's just a downward spiral. But man, it's hard, I know. I'll keep all my fingers crossed for you, still.

btw, I'm glad that accident was only minor - no delayed onset stiffness today, I hope.
