I feel like a new person, having finally gotten some good sleep last night. I took some Tylenol PM and peacefully slept until noon. I made myself stay up as late as I could, until about 12:30am.
I haven't entirely written about unemployment related things a lot lately. I think that is because I am getting so used to the lifestyle. I actually really, really like being at home now. I am finding a lot of things to do in between job search, resume and cover letter tweaking, and sleeping and eating. Writing, researching graduate school, GRE studying, coffee drinking, volunteer related stuff...
Fiona has been my little constant companion, sitting silently on the desk next to me and my laptop. She is either a paperweight or a spy. I haven't quite figured out yet, which she is. Portia is my lap warmer. No doubts about that.
The past few years since I moved to this great state and city, away from my home, I have led a very out-going social life. I have gotten the crazy out of my system, which I never did in college. I am finally back to being the much calmer and responsible me. Not that I'm ever completely irresponsible, but I just do not have any desire to have wild and crazy nights. I'm happy being at home, or at dinner with friends. I'll be going out this evening, will have a glass of wine, and I am happy stopping there. I'd rather enjoy the company of friends than the comfort of liquid courage. Because, after all, I am still surviving and that is courageous enough. I'm settling down now.
My mother will be very happy to know that.
