News from the front

I have been reading from other people's blogs, posts on Facebook and other places and it has given me much to think about. I'm not sure just what I want to write about today. I just felt the need to get some of these things out of my head!

It has been a pretty interesting year for me. I have been unemployed for most of 2009 and consequestly had to rely on unemployment insurance for the first time. That has been at times a frustrating experience. Sometimes, not worth the small amount I receive, but in all I am very grateful.

Not working has also made me look at some other things in my life. One was what to do with myself when I couldn't find a job. This year I have done several thing to keep me busy. I have begun to work more diligently on my crafts. in other words my crocheting. Another thing I have done is to start working on myself a little more. Next week I have an appointment with Vocational Rehab, to go over a "career plan" with my caseworker. I am also considering doing something about where I live. I am no longer satisfied sitting here and doing nothing.

The biggest problem for me, is that I am a natural procratinator. It really is hard for me to keep the momentum going. I'm not sure what it will take to get me out of this rut, but I am determined to do it. I have finished raising my children and now it is time for me to do what I need to do.

There, that's a start! I know there is more to come!
