Unemployment equals...

  • Time for breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and coffee dates
  • Stressing about money
  • A constant roller coaster of emotions
  • Optimism at its peak
  • Pessimism trying to slip through the cracks
  • Refocusing on budgeting 
  • Time to read
  • Time to write
  • Time to breathe
  • Time to sleep
  • Gym dates at any hour
  • Long runs with no time constraint
  • Being on time to commitments again 
  • Meeting wonderful strangers
  • Not commuting across town
  • Having to move out of my humble abode
  • Connecting with the long-lost and "if only we had time" crowd
  • Time to talk, which equals...
  • Cell phone minute overages
  • Daily blog updates
  • Time to think 
  • Time to plan for the wedding, the future, etc. 
  • Applying to lots and lots...and then lots more jobs
  • Self-motivation 
  • Pep talk from friends 
  • Constant texts from constant friends
  • Dreaming up the next big adventure 
  • Making pointless, but feel-good bulleted lists 
  • Sleeping in
  • Homemade hot breakfast, just like my mom would create
  • Time to cook
  • Time to bake
One of my favorites and a recent week-night meal: stuffed peppers.
