January Doldrums

Still nothing from the publisher.  I’m at fifteen and half weeks.  Aieee!  I should just assume they are rejecting it, and move on from there.  To more publishers, or straight to Amazon, where these things could be making me money.  Not a lot, but money.  I am so tired of being broke, and I’m way more broke than usual this year.  December is bad, but I always have money in January.  Not this January.  Not only can I not take my family out to eat after a twelve hour shift instead of going home to cook, I can barely pay my rent and buy groceries.  I swear everything has gone up.
