So, here I am quit my job and trying to find myself.   I have found I suck at being leisurely.   I am pretty sure this is why I like to travel, as it forced me to disconnect.    But I continue to try and disconnect and clean and find peace.  Condo is cleaner than it has ever been and I keep reorganizing things.   There are bits of positives to take.  

 

Today I dusted and reorganized my bookshelves.    All I really want to do is read.   But Of course I keep finding other things to do.  Like write so read and write should be one of my goals.     I don't think I am going to want to be out of work longer than mid-August.    That being said, I will casually start to look.   The only reason I state mid-august is because we are to go to Atlanta in July, and if Lollapalooza is still on, I would like to go to that.   I am pretty sure it will be cancelled but would rather just take most of the summer and not worry about work.  

 

Today it is raining and I am actually utilizing my wireless keyboard and sitting on my couch.     Since its raining I wanted a couch day.  I would move but I am trapped by a cat that is sleeping on my foot.   His head is on my foot like a pillow.  Why would I want to disturb that peaceful moment.  

 

Alright so my latest plan as mentioned is to slowly, casually look for a job.  There are a lot of jobs listed on LinkedIn so I think I will land on my feet.   I can always reach out to an employment agency as well and do some temp work.   I will have Cobra so that would be fine with me as well.  Then I can work when I want if I have to take off, I can just opt not to work.     I am not opposed to taking a pay cut, but I would prefer not to do that if I don't have to, because lets face facts I want to travel and go to shows.   I understand that for a few years this might not be an option, but a girl can dream.

 

Currently I am reading:

The Fortune Hunter by Daisy Goodwin  I am reading this digitally,  I think this is based on a true story, but I am not positive.  I have research that.  I am also reading Blood of Elves by Andrezej Sapkowski , for my audio pleasure I am listening to To Live and Die in Dixie by Mary Kay Andrews  it’s a cozy mystery.  All of these thus far are pretty entertaining.    BOE is what the Witcher Series on Netflix is based on.  Apparently it is also a video game.   The books came first I  believe.   I am going to pause and return to my reading for now. 

 

basis.   

Last night I made Chicken Noodle Soup in the instapot.   I started a section on cooking and want to add all the recipes I have been making lately.   I have been trying some new dishes here and there.   I have been enjoying baking the most dureing this time.  I want to try my hand at bread, but yeast has been hard to come by.  I will continue my search for that. 

 

This morning I read an article on how to dust your home.  That motivated me to dust.   Small spaces get dirty pretty quickly.   So I have been trying to sweep and wipe things down everyday.    I don't dust everyday, but I have been dusting more than I was doing when I worked.    I am realizing now my job really made me tired so at night and the weekends I didn't want to do the adult things and they would pile up.    I hope in my next work chapter that I am able to take time for myself to clean and tidy on a regular
