Unemployed - Day One

So I wanted to reflect on what happened.

After the initial phone call and subsequent shock, I had to get my shit together. 

The Phone Call happened around 9:30am.

By 11:30, I had signed up for unemployment benefits and got that squared away. Now I wait for a phone call. 

And the extra $600/week unemployment thing from the government? Yeah, that ends July 26. So I likely won't get it.

Fuck my life. 

But regardless I got that part done. 

By 2pm I had reached out to my entire network of people and applied to 3 jobs. 

The text messages were flooding in.

I definitely got emotional throughout the day.

I tried so hard not to lose it in front of the kids.

Also, figured I should try to earn my keep around here and helped Steve with the deck railing. Tried to keep my mind off of everything...like bills, health insurance, shit like that. 




I'm working on some skillz while I'm home...

After painting and prepping them, we decided to take a break and go on a golf cart ride. We've found that when we go out in the evenings, we'll see a lot of deer. 

 It's becoming our thing. We've seen this mama and her two babies several times. So cute. 




What really matters. 

The sunsets and clouds out here are unreal. #stillgrateful.

Even though this is a SHITTY situation....it could be worse.
