My unemployment days

Today I managed to wake up early. One of the drawbacks of being unemployed, at least for me, is that you lose track of days and start waking grossly late. I used to get up around 7 am now days if I get up around 9-10am, I feel good about myself. After getting up relatively early today, I came to Panera bread to eat breakfast ($5), study and polish up my resume.
Believe it or not I haven’t even updated my resume yet…I had lack of motivation since I got laid of my job. Of course traveling Europe had something to do with it as well. Finally I am back to my normal routine and feeling more motivated about job search. This time I don’t want to jump on first thing I find. I want to pick where I am going to work not the other way around. And I know because economy is so bad, it will take me longer than to find an ideal company.
Today’s goals:
• Make a list of thing I have accomplished at my last job
• Work out
• Painting
• Study

What is good about unemployment?

What is good about unemployment? Now, I have TIME to do things I never had time before. Since Oct 20th,
  • I finished knitting two scarves both are going to be given as christmas presents to my friends.
  • Finished reading three books which I've been trying to finish just one of them since January.
  • Finally I set up my herb aerogarden which I purchased 6 months ago and never had a chance to set up since then.
  • I'm working out twice a day. In the morning and at night. Before I know I hope I'm going to lose 15lbs. (it is painful)
  • Trying to start my own accounting practice. Actually now I can sit down and brainstorm, plan out things.
  • I started a new blog besides this one which is totally my passion so I hope it's going to take off soon because I spend many hours on it.
  • Finally I have time to study for CPA exam.

It is all about seeing the glass half full not half empty...
