If you read my last post you know that I quit my job about 3 weeks ago. I ended the post by saying, people may think that I am a nut for quitting my last job without having another job to replace.
During the holidays I was struggling, I felt like maybe I was a nut. Maybe I had made a mistake and the timing was bad to quite. I kept trying to explain my situation to every relative that I saw. I kind of avoided calls from friends, because I didn't want to say "No, I am still unemployed." I felt really torn, because I didn't feel sad or depressed, but I felt like everyone was expecting me to be stressed and depressed.
I may have felt pressure from the outside world, but inside I have never felt more confident and better about myself. I love having the freedom to do what I want during the day. I feel like my laundry is caught up and my house is really clean for the first time in months. I love being able to have the bed made. I feel like there is a lot less stress in mine and Jared's life, because our home life is organized, the pups are taken care of and I'm happy. I truly believe that if you want to be happy in any aspect in life, YOU have to be happy first. I took this break to make myself happy again. To enjoy my life and my freedoms.
This doesn't mean I want to be a stay at home dog mom. I feel like this time has been incredibly wonderful for me to regroup, but I love having a job. Jared and I have a "live in the now" lifestyle, we like to spend money on fun vacations, buy new clothes, get new electronics, go out to movies and dinners. We don't have children and at this point in our life, we like to be able to have cash money to whatever we'd like.
With that being said t's nice for us both to bring home some bacon. Over the Holidays I was applying for jobs and really trying to find somewhere that I would be happy. I really took my time and researched the companies. I made sure they had great employee reviews. I looked into their benefits and turn arounds. This week all my hard work has been paying off. Today I had 2 interviews, tomorrow I have 1 and Friday I have 1. I am hoping that one of these will land me my dream job. Keep your good vibes headed my way.
I AM EXCITED... I cannot wait to see where this goes.
