Another Day 6 - Life Goes On

 

Today was my third day being unemployed since 1985. It's going to continue to be a scary place until I have a job.

I haven't heard anything from my contact at Accenture but I'm bracing myself for him to say no thanks. We'll see if my years of experience trump my lack of a 4 year degree. I really hope he's willing to take a chance on me.

Despite the anxiety it brings, I called the financial planner Joe recommended. His assistant took my info and set up an appointment for Tuesday to go over my financials. I'll be happy to have that part of this nightmare cared for. 

I received a payroll deposit today, which I think is the last one. It was nearly $5k because it includes pay for 12 days of vacation. I'll need to go online and get a copy of the paystub. That money will pay the bills for June and probably July, since I still have over $2k in my checking. I do have some house related bills due in June, but I am not worried about my ability to pay.

I managed to get the laundry room cleaned today. That meant putting things away in the pantry, cleaning out the litter box and sweeping/vacuuming the floor and rug. It didn't take that long and it looks so nice ! I also vacuumed the carpet in the downstairs. I plan to attack the kitchen next but I also need to get the lawn mowed. Perhaps I can motivate myself to get both done tomorrow !

I had to pop the heat on for a couple hours today because it was in the low 60's in the house and only 64 outside. The low for tonight is 46, so it might be chilly in here again tomorrow morning.
