So here we are...

Captain’s Log.. it’s been 48 days since I’ve last interacted with anyone on a professional level. To most, this might seem like a dream however to me — cabin fever is super real and I think my dog is plotting against me. I mean “plotting” is far fetched considering that my dog doesn’t play fetch, it’s more like I throw the toy, she gets it and runs away but I still feel the judgement.

Truthfully, this much alone time has not been as relaxing as you would think because I’ve hit a new level of boredom.. my house is super clean, my dog has started to fight me on the number of walks I give her, I can only look for new opportunities for so many hours a day and the general manager at my local grocery store is almost on a first name basis with me. So really what I’m saying is that I don’t know what to do with myself and this time post-employment (aka: unemployment) is trickier than I thought.

So here we are… after 10 years of working for the same company, they decided to part ways and I for the first time do not have a plan for what’s next.

This isn’t the first time I’ve tried to use a creative outlet as a form of therapy (see outdated Instagram posts, updated ones to come) but here’s hoping that this time helps. If you have stopped by and want to learn more, I hope that you stay. I love food, travel, my pup and frugal living and enjoy sharing stories and tips relating to all the above.
