Unemployment...days 1 & 2

Since I have nothing else to really report, let me tell you how fantastic I think unemployment is...

Started my first day of unemployment by getting up and cruising Facebook for an hour. This isn't much different than any other day, but yesterday I got to do it at home! Proceeded to attended the 10:45 showing of HP and The Half Blood Prince. I felt like Tiffany at the blood bank! Does anyone want to know why my movie was better than hers??? Let me tell you. I got to watch my movie while being served unlimited Diet Coke and eating a bacon-cheeseburger!!! Beat that vampire freaks. (let it be noted that when whatever that next movie is comes out, it too can be viewed at Forks & Suites in Olathe, Kansas.)

I was so happy and excited about my movie that I went home and cleaned up the DVD mess from the weekend painting fiasco. I can now tell you that I have lovely built in bookshelves that are not purple and I have no movies that need boxes and no boxes that need movies. I pitched all the extras! Wonder how my children are going to feel when they figure that one out?

Still feeling quite pleased with myself I proceeded to clean and organize Kendall's room and drawers. I hate this little task, but I whipped it out in an hour. She went to VBS and I went to dinner with my friend Renee. Renee was formerly referred to as my boss because she was, but now that I am unemployed, she is my friend, and with that comes the ability to go out and drink to much wine on a school night because why kids...I don't have to work the next day. Jesus I am loving this.

I did field a couple of emails from my former practice administrator, but that's only because I'm hoping they will hire me before November 1st, and so I respond to them.

Day two started out with mowing the back yard and 7:30 this morning. Why? Because I was up and...I don't have to work today! As I was cruising the back yard I just giggled softly to myself, everyone else I know has some sort of some thing they are supposed to be doing today. I'm simply doing whatever frees me up mentally to fuck off for the rest of the afternoon. After a short jaunt to the office, I met my ex-husband to take the ladies swimming (no he didn't attend thank God). Came home and decided that some laundry was probably in order so I took it down and thought I should figure out how to run the dehumidifier to the sump pump. Not rocket science, but I haven't managed to do it two years, why not today. It only took an hour, and when I finished I laughed because I didn't care how long it took, I have all day tomorrow to do whatever I don't do today. Holy Christ, I love being unemployed!

Now, I'm going to drink beer and watch bad television and wait for the storms to start and make my list for tomorrow. Tops on that list is filing for actual unemployment benefits. Yes friends, I AM going to get paid (on top of my severance) for being this happy because guess why...I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK!!!!
