Monday Update

Well, my stupid glasses broke yesterday. I shouldn't be surprised, the things are over five years old. The frames are so thin, I can't even glue them together temporarily. *sigh* Oh, well.

I've been unemployed a whole month. I think the lack of work is making me edgy. All I could do was pace today. I couldn't concentrate worth crap. I have tons of stuff I could be doing, but I just can't seem to focus. Not cool.

I need to get back to sorting stuff and throwing stuff out. Our stupid landlord raised the lot rent again. Once I do find work and get my bills back on track, priority number one is going to be getting out of here. Our house sits right next to a main power line. I know that the energy affects me strangely. That's probably also a reason I'm so restless.

I can't believe how quickly my health deteriorated this last month. It's amazing how much excercise I got going back and forth to the printer. I gained over 10 pounds in the last month, despite the fact that I've been eating less. My metabolism must be in conservation mode. I went biking with Marcus yesterday and I sucked so bad. I'm basically carrying around two people everywhere I go. I'm going to take better care of myself. It took a week for the swelling in my legs to go down after the blogathon. I'm not young anymore, but I'm not that old, either.

I'm kicking myself for my stubborness and not applying for unemployment sooner. I'd be getting checks already if I had overcome my pride sooner...or faced reality sooner. I kept telling myself that I didn't need to apply, I'd have a job before the checks would kick in. Yeah.

OK, gonna go see if I can relax enough to get a few hours sleep.
