I am a stopped pocketwatch...
My first official day of unemployment began today. And what a productive day it turned out to be. I applied for some jobs online, also applied for unemployment(by the way, if you recently lost your job, you are entitled to unemployment, most people have no idea that they are...but anything helps when you're out of a job, plus you have nothing to lose if you don't qualify, right?), went grocery shopping(of which I will mention again in a second), cleaned up a little, played some basketball, cooked dinner, and had bible study. Quite a lot, no? So I guess this has been a much needed break from the monotonies of the working world. But I do need to get back into it soon, or else move back home and just wait til somethin comes along. So that is the current situation, try to find a job, and quickly, so I can make a decision on whether I continue living in the OC or back @ home. There are a lot of other factors that need to be considered also, and I have to make a final decision within probably the next 3 weeks, at most. My, things get complicated when things change so suddenly...but I am not as worried still, I know I'll get through this. Just a matter of time, I suppose.
So, I said I would mention the grocery store again...lil tip, when you decide to walk to the grocery store, remember that you walked about 1/2 a mile to get there and be smart w/ what you're getting. Apparently, am saying this because I did just that. And I bought way too much stuff man, I guess I got a little carried away w/ my having to be home for a while and trying not to spend so much money eating out...it was torture walkin back...I felt like such an idiot and that everyone was watching me and waiting to see if I'd fall or something...sheesh...but I was determined not to embarass myself even more than already was...so I did it, got all the way back to the apt without stopping, but my wrists and hands, and shoulders hurt like hell when I got there...so word to the wise, don't even walk to the grocery store to buy stuff....just drive. It'll be all to the better that way.
Appreciations for the day
-unlooked for vacations
-friends, who know what to say to you when you're down, who truly believe in you, and who just want to make sure you're okay
-fellowships
-good music
-a good quote
"He who has the why to live for can bear with almost any how."
-Nietzsche
