Joe is off getting a hair cut, so I am able to stop going through the mountain of boxes in the garage. It was hard to look busy and focused for such a long period. Actually opening the boxes is a bit like the old Forrest Gump analogy about the box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get. Surprise, surprise! I finally found the top part of the blender. Thank God.
I also worked on the garden. A trip to the closest nursery netted me some 50% off terra cotta pots and one beautifully glazed Roman Blue pot. I have to go back, one pot was not discounted!
Tomorrow I take the daughter out job hunting. Hopefully we will find her something that will offer her benefits. Maybe a house-keeping gig. Maybe hotel work. Anything to help that child get off my payroll.
Speaking of payrolls, I did not receive the compensation due me for the vacation and personal days I did not take. That riles me. I hope I was not screwed out of them because I would have liked nothing better than to have not worked up until moving day. Well, almost. It certainly felt like it.
I love not having to go to work. I absolutely love it. The stress that I have learned to live with is gone. Kapoot! I noticed it while driving to Tennessee. I feel so much better. Not that I felt sick, or run down while I was working....just stressed about things. And its gone.
I wake up in the middle of the night and think, "I need to find a job!" then I roll over and go back to sleep.
It's great.
I have been thinking, just a little because I have so much to do at the moment with all those boxes in the garage and the job hunting support I am giving my daughter...I have been thinking that when I decide to go job hunting, I am going to do something I love.
I may even go back to school for a quick 9 month degree, could be even quicker since I have a BSBA already.........
And Omega is ready to hang up corporate life and become an entrepreneur. I should be doing research for "us". It would be so cool to run a business with her.
Just what type???
Life is very fun and interesting at the moment.

What a great idea to go back to school. Opens up more possibilities.
Loving the school idea. Can't get enough.
You want a REAL ride? Go the entrepreneurial route. Take it from one who knows... ;P
I like the entrepreneurial idea too...my best friend chucked it all after being laid off from her pharmaceutical sales rep job and started a pet-walking service...4 years and a lot of hard work later, she is successful (9 part-time employees) and happier than I've ever seen her. It's never too late...

School is fun when you're older--for sheer courses, not boys
Starting a business is fun also
Do both :) just do what you love
