Unemployment - Day Five

It's my fifth day of unemployment and I'm going a little bit crazy. I'd expected to sit around and relax and in general behave quite lazy. Day one, I made a scrapbook and rearranged all my craft totes. Day two I cleaned out bird cages and started writing pre-Christmas notes. Shopping is done and put away. Outside Christmas lights are shining. I fear I'm running out of projects and for my job I am pining. A second scrapbook has been started, a nine hundred page book's nearly read. I've not even made it through week one so the next five weeks I now dread. I vowed I'd wait 'til the new year before looking for another career. Six weeks off seemed reasonable, at the time, but my resolve is failing I fear. These little projects keep me busy. They keep my mind occupied for awhile. If I tell you I'm enjoying this holiday, well now you know , I'm just in denial.
