Had a Nap This Morning

Whew!  I had a little nap this morning.  I went back to bed to wait for my coffee to drip.  Big Mistake!  I fell back asleep, and slept hard.  It's good that I'm typing this and not speaking; I'm not sure that I could speak in coherent sentences yet this morning.  (I'll be fine after I finish my coffee.)  It's funny how that second sleep can make a person feel groggy, isn't it?

I have my third counseling session today.  I have to admit that I have some homework to complete before going.  Nothing like a little procrastination... and a deadline.

In other news, I've got a job with the census.  I start on Monday.  Isn't it ironic?  I finally start to draw unemployment - got one week's check - and I get a job.  And my net pay will be less than I was getting in unemployment!  But if I had turned down the job, I would have lost my unemployment benefits anyway.  And, of course, it will be good for me to get out and interact with people every day, and to have more structure to my week.  The job will be easy, but it's a very big deal considering I haven't worked in eight months. 

Well, my coffee has kicked in now, and I feel fully awake and ready to go.  Signing off to complete my homework. 

This quote would have been more appropriate to yesterday's blog, but I just found it today.  It's so true!

  1. I agree with Gertrude!

    Remember this is a temp job and unemployment will be there when it is over. Also you have the back benefits to appeal.
