I haven’t been posting as much as I should as of late. But it’s not because I haven’t had the time. It’s mostly because last week was pretty much a “wash” due to the holiday and this week has been somewhat slow as well.Tuesday was busy, though. Went in for a writing test at a local PR agency, then went downtown to spend the afternoon working from friends’ office space. It sure was nice to get out of the house and interacting with people again!

And starting today I will no longer be counting my days of unemployment. I don’t think it’s a good idea anymore, as it’s kind of depressing to see. But I have reached the one-month mark and I must say I’m doing well. I still don’t feel like I’m unemployed. It feels like I’m on a staycation and am due back at work any day now.

Yesterday I sent in my application and supporting documents for a federal contract job. That was, surprisingly, a lot of work for just one application. But I’m happy with the end product and was even happier to get it out the door.

Today has been spent replying to e-mails that have stacked up, catching up with hiring companies and cleaning my kitchen. I guess I’ve been eating at home more often as of late and my kitchen really shows it!
