Butternut Squash Soup

I have not posted in awhile  because I have been partially having a pity party, and  partially indignant, wanting to write in anger, and that does no one any good, especially myself.
Being laid off after 15 years is not a good experience overall, but it is teaching me patience, and to take it one day at a time instead of going nuts trying to figure it all out.
I have sent out many resumes. Overqualified. Under qualified.  Interviews where they just start interviewing for a position that was not the one posted...
Sometimes I cry behind my shed, but more often I laugh because they are such idiots that I am sure I do not want to work for them.
Don't get me started about recruiters. They are worse than lawyers, and I hate them. Every real job lead I ever had came from myself, not any of those morons.  They have the follow up skills of a three year old (with much apologies to any three-year-olds that read my blog).
Well the SUV is broken down again, and I have no money now, but I imagine I will get it back on its wheels by the end of the month. I do have a new fishing pole, however, and I plan on using it this weekend, but tonight I am just going to enjoy this bowl of butternut squash soup. It is creamy and earthy and makes me feel close to the land and my garden, even though I only contributed the rosemary and thyme.
