It's been a very long time since I have been here but now in this moment it seems like a good time to openly chronicle the chaos that is my life.
Initial reaction to "you're laid off" is fear, let's be realz... we live in a mainly capitalistic society and cash is king... food, bills, mortgage, car payment and the like.
Then reality sets in... I've had a lot on my plate for a very long time, and even a short layoff isn't necessarily horrible, I'm exhausted... girl needs a break.
REALITY... I have three previous unpublished blog posts that need to be revisited if I am going to spend any time here, the majority of my house is an absolute mess, starting the seeds for the garden is well behind, I'd love a she shed and that will take time, I literally have a mountain of laundry, my son would like to switch rooms with me and I am not opposed and I have two dogs that wouldn't mind some walks in the woods and I want to free my mind in the form of books and art.
Step One: start chore list and inventory the cabinets and freezers then set a menu and meal plan to all best advantages while back-filling with the least expense possible... something I happen to be an expert at when I am of the right frame of mind. If history repeats itself we will have some of the best meals ever even though I stay within budget.
I get to cook and bake more (which I love to do) in a more creative manner, I get to breathe a little, I get to be a stay at home dog mom, I will hike and read and art... deep breath, at least for now I got this bitch handled.
First application for which I am well qualified for, possibly doubling my pay has already been submitted.
