Its official, one week non employed.
I have decided Non Employed is better then Unemployed. I am not jobless per say, I am sort of self employed, but in general, neither of those titles seems right. So I will go with Non Employed. :)

So, one item that is obvious very quickly is how little days of the week start to matter. Previously it was “woohoo, Friday!!!”, and then come Sunday night that dread that would set in as Monday quickly approached.
Last week, somewhere mid day I finally realized it was actually Friday, but there was no jubilation, it was just “oh”. Sunday night I did not feel any sense of sorrow for the weekend’s end. About the only significance to the days of week at this point is to adjust my shopping times (avoiding the grocery store on the weekend is a must in our town), when can I chat with a friend who works during the day, and how busy Facebook is.
Its relaxing to not count the days and weeks, I could get used to this.

So far, last week really turned into a decompression period. I knew I was going to take it easy, what caught me off guard was just how tired I was. Come 8 pm each evening I found myself yawning so much I finally had to just go to bed. I had planned on getting up at 5 am every day, and while I did not sleep in very much, my intuition told me to relax about it all. I think I really needed this time, it had been a LONG time since my last vacation. I had taken a day off now and again, but I think its been over 18 months since I took off work for a real stress relieving completely relaxing vacation.
I cleaned a bit last week, did some organizing, cooking, reading, and general catching up on errands that I have not been able to do in months. I meditated, did some pondering, and worked on clearing my head in general. I will chat about that more I think later this week.
I am enjoying my time. Its quiet, and I am working on scheduling some events out of the house, but so far I am happy being alone most of the time. Its pleasant really. Plus with four cats, well, one is never really alone.
