The job search picks up again

After doing absolutely nothing in terms of looking for a teaching job after I received my current job at the end of September, I finally started looking again.  Yesterday, I updated my application on the teacher website.  Today, (just now) I personalized cover letters and applied to 6 elementary teacher positions that are available locally.  At least now I feel like I finally put some effort into finding a teaching job rather than putting too much time into my book.  I also booked a hotel for the casino for next week for an overnight stay.  That will give me a much needed trip away from home.  Tomorrow starts three half days of school.  Hopefully I will be able to accomplish something tomorrow while the kids are gone!
