Blessings of Unemployment, Items #1-11

  1. Visiting Wal-mart on a non-Holiday weekday -- better parking, less crowds, overall easier access.
  2. NO MORE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC -- road construction in KC is horrible -- necessary, but horrible.
  3. I can be Facebook friends with people I use to supervise.....  now I don't care what they post or when they post it :)
  4. I can walk during the day, not have to rush it in early morning or late at night.
  5. Way less RESPONSIBILITY......  no more clients, no more staff -- WHEW!!!!
  6. I look forward to going to sleep at night....  so sad that I use to fight it because I dreaded getting up in the morning.
  7. I'm looking forward to improving how I look -- about 3-6 months out, everyone else who has left the company looks 10 years younger.  I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
  8. Less stress -- until the financial burden hits anyways :)
  9. Eventually my house will be clean...... eventually......
  10. I can give up those "work" books I forced myself to read, all in the name of being a better manager.  If I owned them, I might of had a bonfire (not really, I couldn't do that to books, but the thought is fun.)
  11. I get to experience what it's like to be a stay at home Mom -- my kids are teens.....  there's fruit for a whole bunch of posts.....  so they are super excited I'm home when they get home from school (insert sarcasm :))
I'm sure I will find more and I will add those as they arise.  So thankful for an outlet to say what I need to say.  

Just starting out.....

Wow....  not really sure what I'll be blogging about, this is more for me to have an outlet than anything else.  I am recently unemployed -- after almost 19 years with the same company.   Have kept busy most days, but yesterday was rough....  am trying to keep busy, but am feeling very lost.  Hope I find some direction soon :).
