This morning, I finished the last of the things on my To-Do-Before-Work-Starts-Again list. (Passport renewal, returning the keys to our old apartment, and buying new running shoes.) Now I'm sitting here contemplating a (potential) future career in marketing and trying to figure out how I can make my job more than a daily to-do list of items needing crossed off.
I think today is the first time since I resigned in April that I feel weird about not having a job. Maybe that was because I was at the mall in the middle of the day on Thursday, or because I finally had a few minutes to myself where I wasn't running around trying to do errands. Until now it felt like Sam and I were on our final summer break, but last night he told me he saved a patient's life and that got me thinking.
What did I do yesterday? I picked up the photos from our vacation that I ordered, took them to Aaron Brothers, had them matted and framed, came home, and hung them all. I bought Sam insoles and cut them to fit his work shoes. I did laundry and washed the dishes. I worked on some hotels for my trip out to Chicago next week. Yes, these are important things, they certainly were time consuming, and I definitely felt accomplished when I crossed them off my to-do list... but I think I am ready to tackle a new challenge in life.
If nothing else, in the last 10 days I learned that if I am going to run around all day I want to get a paycheck for it!
