Not working is a lot more stressful than it sounds. My severance started last week but I'd hoped to find a job before then. This is made worse by my husband quitting his job and landing a new one in less time than it took him to work out his notice. Of course, he's a talented chef and that industry moves a lost faster when it comes to hiring than my industry does. Still, very disheartening.
Over the last few months I've gotten use to waking up at 10AM and it's going to be rough adjusting back. Worse, Steven has gone back to working afternoons and nights so I'm just puttering around by myself now whereas before he got home by 2:30PM and we had practically all day together. Now when he gets home around 11PM it's normal to just stay up until 2AM. He still gets up at 8AM but I am not a morning person.
The upside to all this free time is I've been catching up on Netflix and spending a lot of time working on icons. Been really enjoying Photoshop Elements 11 - may even buy it when the trial is over. I've started to enjoy ABC's Agents of SHIELD and I loved the Hunger Games movies - those two are tempting me to write fanfic but I don't really want the hassle of learning how to navigate Tumblr. We'll see. I've been also spending a lot of free time playing Diablo III; never thought I'd get into a video game so much.
Thus ends the obligatory update.
