Sorry to hear that this weekend has been a struggle for you. I can readily remember the pain you are struggling with at this early stage. The best part is that you have wonderful support and advice right here. Unfortunately I didn't have that and it was really tough to support my kids and keep my chin up in the confusion of the revelation of H's affair. I tell you this because it really does get better. It all takes time unfortunately and we have to just go with the waves that wash over us.
Once you get your job you'll feel better because you'll have purpose for your every day. Then you can save your money and come visit me!
Thanks for the cough medicine tip. I went out and got some today so I'm ready for tonight. I am really sore today and quite lethargic so I've had a restful day with a roam around the boards, a visit to the library, made some pikelets(a long way off the baking I was going to do)and a cat nap. I have a new book that I'm about to open!
