first monday as an unemployed person

aaaaand we begin with this new phase of my life (not an unemployed phase (hopefully?), but a "not the property manager" phase). 

it started as most days do, with waking up (duh!).  i felt like it was a sunday because there wasn't anything immediate i needed to do, then when i realized it was a work day for everyone but me, i finally felt that "weight lifted off" that everyone kept saying would kick in soon.

i ate some oatmeal.  it was an instant flax mix cooked in the microwave, then i added some honey and coconut peanut butter (yeah, that exists!  but i wouldnt recommend combo-ing it with oatmeal.  whatever, you have to try new things sometimes).  i threw in some laundry (i don't mean to always talk about laundry (or use so many parentheticals)), tidied up, and went to yoga.  after that i had a failed attempt with katie to do some reading at a coffee shop, and we ended up at her apartment to read some stuff about creating a business website.  while at her house, i made a list of things to do for the next week or so.  then i went to jan's and we tried to watch the tudors but took a huge nap instead.  i went home around 4pm, took a shower, finished the laundry.  boyfriend came home and we made dinner.  i chopped up an eggplant and some asparagus, threw it in a pot with minced garlic and olive oil, and cooked it covered on medium low for 20 minutes.  it came out looking disgustingly unappetizing but wasn't bad to eat.

i did not spend any money, yay!
i did not make any money, boo!

my boyfriend is running a bath for himself and i am going to read him the LA Times.  add to my many talents upon which i need to capitalize - I am good at reading aloud.

  1. Dang! I missed so many posts! This was the best Tuesday AM reading catch up sesh ever.

    I have heard that it's best to get up early and do all the things you should/need to do when not working, so the rest of the day is earned and you feel good about it. Maybe that's true?
