Awake Early

One of the unintentional effects of being unemployed is I'm waking up really early in the morning. Yesterday I woke at 5:30am. Today I woke at 4:30am. I'm tired and would like to keep sleeping, but I've got a lot of things on my mind. Monkey brain.

It's ironic that when I don't have a reason to get up in the morning, I'm up really early. But when I'm employed and need to be up for work, I'd rather be sleeping. Being human is so weird.

Thank You!
Thanks to everyone for all the support and encouraging words. I was seriously shocked by all the positive comments, email, DMs that have been sent to me the past 24 hours. Thank you all! I'm so lucky to have so many awesome friends and a great, great community. So many people have sent leads and so many people are offering to share my resume with their network. I'm blow away by how much help I've received in such a short time. Thank you, thank you!

I'm feeling very positive about finding a new job. I'm really lucky to know so many good people. Just another reason I love Phoenix.

A special thanks to Celeste who sent me flowers and totally brightened my day!

Vacation
Today I'm leaving for a week in Colorado. I'm driving up to spend time with Summer, my best friend since high school. There's no real plan other than take some time off and relax. I'll be thinking about the future and my personal goals. I'll be enjoying a good, good friend. And I'll be freezing since I'm not acclimated to cold weather yet. (The high this week in Phoenix has been in the 90's! I think Phoenix set a record high on Tuesday.)

I'm really, really looking forward to this trip and the mental space getting out of town will give me.
