- Today marks the 2 week mark after leaving my day job. Been keeping myself busy doing little projects around the house, digging out from the snow storms, and cooking.
- Started the job search already. Not a lot out there yet, but I don’t have to grab the first thing that comes along, either. Worst case scenario, I find something ‘good enough’ in February or March, and continue the search.
- For now, it’s good to just decompress and get myself together. It’s been the better part of a decade since I had much spare time and energy.
- Dinner tonight is glazed ham, country-style green beans (onions and ham, slow cooked), home-made macaroni and cheese, and gingerbread made with fresh grated ginger for dessert.
- I’m currently sitting in the living room, looking out on the snowbanks, and trying not to EAT ALL THE THINGS BECAUSE THE HOUSE SMELLS DELICIOUS.
- Cooking and baking has always been something I enjoy. Heck, even doing the dishes and folding the laundry has been nice for the past couple of weeks. Not sure I could do this forever, but being a temporary house-husband for a couple of months might just be the therapy I need.
- Me not working is taking some getting used to. There are these two people who live in the same house as me, and one of them looks a heck of a lot like me. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them somewhere before.
- They’re having to get used to seeing me outside of runs to the coffee pot and microwave.
- The dogs, on the other hand, think this is great. They get hot and cold running pat-pats, treats at least two times a day, and even the occasional nap while I putter around the hours.
- My sense of humor is returning, as is my ability to write more than a few words at once. It’s an amazing what not staring at a computer screen and talking on the phone for 10 to 14 hours a day, coupled with more than four hours of sleep a night, will do.
