I have read and re-read the synopsis. I’ve taken a few more notes. I’ve read the written chapters, and I am back in the saddle again. AND I walked today! She LOVES this unemployment thing, she does! ytd wordcount: 282,800 miles to Lothlorien: 391.5
So far…
So far I’ve finished a book and baked some bread.

Right now I’m going to finish reading Christie’s INSTRUMENT OF FATE, and then I’m going to re-read the proposal for O:C and do some note-taking.…
take THAT!
I didn’t get up until 8:30 today because I DIDN’T HAVE TO. :)

I’ve called the Alaska Club to see if we can get out of the contract early. I’ve even looked at local job listings. I guess that’s all she wrote, then.
more details
More details: It’s nothing personal. “CHI is in a maintenance mode and they’ll be utilizing the web resources available through Caremark and AdvancePCS.” No reflection on my abilities as an employee, it’s all financial.
