I was unemployed from July 22 - September 26, 2014. I had been prepared to be unemployed for 2 weeks and it turned out to be 2 months. That isn't easy to do. Not only is it hard financially, but also emotionally. Luckily I had my family and friends supporting me financially and emotionally and was able to do it. I tried to do several things while unemployed from taking vacations to finding other work. This is hard to do when I am emotionally on edge. Now that I'm employed again I want to get involved in many things.
While I was sans job I wanted to travel and as I prepared to do that I realized that is what I did for my job so I couldn't get excited about it. I also thought I would find another job since this one doesn't pay me what I should get paid and when I thought I found the job I wanted I found out they gave me a job where there was no work until next summer.One of my coworkers abandoned the job and got a great job that pays great. Now that I have the burdens gone I will keep my eyes open for a better opportunity. I also will be better at writing here now.
This has been a great week and the weekend looks like it will be better! Sarah's 18th birthday was Tuesday and I was able to give her a great birthday thanks to a friend. Today I met an old student of mine that will soon be moving to Turkey and I am happy I could assist her in reaching one of her goals. Saturday Sarah moves into the dorms and it feels good to have my youngest daughter start a new chapter in her life. And, Sunday I will take a group of 15 to the Northern California Renaissance Fair and I always have fun there and it will be great to share my fun.
