Day one of unemployment

[robinsnest]

I think I'll probably post a lot more here in the next months as I struggle to figure out my life. I won't lie I've gone through a wiiide range of emotions, Rob got home last night and I just started bawling. The worst part was I felt like I'd let him down. Somehow I'd failed my end of the  bargain and we've only been married a month! He held me close and told me that I didn't dissapoint him at all and we'd be okay together. Made me feel a million times better. 

I didn't do a ton today. I slept for 11 hours last night and woke up at 10. Clearly I feel that emotionally drained. A little like I've been kicked in the teeth, a lot like I've been dumped.  Rob's been shooting all day again today so I'm fending for myself here.  curiouschilde was home sick today so she chatted to me in the morning. 

I filed for my first ever unemployment claim...seemed relatively pain free which must mean I did something wrong...I also got another bow tie up on etsy (full disclosure I've had it made for months) but it's one new item! I took over the recycling and did some grocery shopping, deposited my last paycheck.  You know it's a bad day when paying $18.00 of groceries makes you panic about money. 

Ithaca college sent me an email today asking for a donation from their alumi. HA! Someday when this degree helps me earn a living where I'm not always one bad month away from disaster I'll give them a call. 

I'm watching some pretty cake show on TLC...now I want cake...

I told Dalhousie University that under no uncertain terms were they ever to call me looking for money ever again. I paid my dues long enough through tuition, and once I get steady work and pay off the massive student loan, then I'll think about donating.

It was a fabulous feeling to blast them. It was just after I'd lost my last job and I felt like shit too.

I really hope that un-employment works in your favour. I also hope that you can use this time to be really creative. I really do think this is just temporary. Gut feelings.

Thanks, I agree I really think the universe is brewing something great and I just have to be open to it.

For now I shall eat cake.
