Good evening Card. Good to hear from you. Happy New Year. It sounds like things are going as well for you as possible. Putting some hard effort into the job hunt now sounds like a good plan. I continue to see big tech and financial companies cutting jobs (Citi just cut 20K, Google some more in San Fran, etc.) and I expect more to come.
Glad to hear about your continued focus on yourself. I hear you about the temptation to flirt or read into W's behaviors. It sounds like staying in the moment is working for you. We really can find enough to keep ourselves fulfilled with other family, friends, and ourselves. Also, I hope your search for a new IC works out. They've been so swamped since the pandemic and with people opening up to therapy.
Good luck with the job search too. I hope you find a solid job that you'll enjoy.
