Today is my first “official” day of unemployment. And I have a bunch of stuff to do. I got interview ready last night, printed out documents, picked out clothes etc. I need to go to the post office to mail papers. I need to clean out and totally organize my closet. I’ve already cleaned off the cluttered dining room table. Last night I cleaned Addy’s room at like 11pm while Megamind was on in the background. I need to dust! There are tiny baby hand prints all over dusty shelves. And catalog our DVD collection.
Who does these things?! Maybe I just need to be off but I really don’t know how to be. When I take vacation at Christmastime it usually consisted of me watching an entire series on Netflix Instantwatch. But since Addy got here I haven’t really had time to do nothing. Maternity leave is in no way a breeze nor enough time to heal and take care of yourself and a baby and whatever else that needs to be done.
Plus Brownlee and Addy have their daily routine that I’m trying soooo hard not to interrupt to much. I like to do things so I keep wanting to plan to take Addy to the park or back around the mall or whatever.
I think the longest time I’ve been unemployed in the past 7 years is a month. I’m not used to sitting still but I think I probably shouldn’t jam pack every day with chores until I know how this whole thing is going to work out.
I’ll probably post the interview summary after the fact. It’s this afternoon. I’m not nervous, just hopeful that it’s really something I want to do. Maybe a smaller company that isn’t all in to mandatory compliance training and things of that nature. Giant corporate culture and a bajillion acronyms for everything.
Thanks for all the good luck wishes though! 🙂
