Still unemployed

I saw this shirt but it unfortunately did not come in my size.

I have been unemployed about a month now and it is getting old. I only started counting myself as unemployed since I've been back from Christmas. But really it's been closer to two months.

I have lots to do, but can't seem to get it done without any sort of structure in place.

Apparently I have a small but noisy following of my blog and they (you?) have caught on to the fact that I haven't updated in awhile. So, I will report on my life.

This is how I spend a typical day:
Wake up when I feel like waking up. (that has lost its charm)
Stay in bed for a while reflecting on how to fill my day.
Look at the bedroom wall.
Get up and eat something.
Think about exercising.
Do something else.
Think about exercising.
Maybe surf the internet a little.
Give up on exercising and just get ready for the day.
Unless I had something planned for the day it is now approximately 1:30.
Look at and apply for some jobs.
Usually I have something planned for the afternoon.
To be honest, I don't really know how I fill my days. But it does seem like I"m busy without ever acccomplishing anything.

Do I not sound like myself? I don't feel too much like myself either. Goodness, this blog entry is a downer.

Several times a day I remind myself that everything is going to turn out wonderfully and that makes me really happy.

Also, these ties I found (but did not buy) at the thrift store make me happy:


Sad that I had not reason to buy them, ay?

Also, the fact that this is the view from my bedroom window makes me happy:It's hard to photograph, but it's the George Washington Bridge. Very lovely.

Can you somehow find a way to make a full time job out of entertaining me? You do such a good job at it, honestly. :)

I think you need to think more about blogging. But that's just an idea. Let me know if I can help fill your day with mindless activities in any way.

Remember, you're on the verge of something beautiful and great. I love it and can feel it! So just try as hard as you can to remember how deserving you are of the great perfect job that's coming your way! It'll happen! I promise!
:)

Unemployment is AWESOME!!!! Feel free to come and play with us in Utah. We would LOVE it!

Sleeping in and looking at the wall thinking about your day, you are one lucky girl. Good things are coming your way!

For some reason, I thought you were 27, but you are really 28, i am freaking out a little.

Love you!

Hey Holly, I was talking to Tamara yesterday and told her that there's an opening to work for the administrator of the urology department here at Cornell, if you're interested....just thought I'd let you know. He's a really great guy. (I met you at the Halloween party at the Hardie's, by the way...) It starts at $37K, and usually pays in the mid-40s depending on experience. If you're interested, just let me know. My email address is anb2027@med.cornell.edu. Happy Holly-days!!
