Its funny how I used to long for time off from work, but now that I have that in abundance, I'm bored! 

Aside from the lack of a paycheck (which I'm trying not to stress out about, because stressing out about money is not going to make any more flow into my bank account), some of this time off is good.  I'm getting things done around the house that I've been meaning to do for months.  I'm volunteering at a cat rescue and trying to get a volunteer job at a government agency (both for the resume bonus and for the learning experience).  I'm also getting a lot of gym time, which is really great for my health as well as my stress level.

However, I usually get to the point of my day where I don't want to search for jobs, or read a book or clean anything else... and then I don't know what to do with myself.

I know I will find something soon...  after I find a job, I hope that this will have been a good learning experience, that I'm able to appreciate a job more, that I'm smarter with my money, and that I am able to come out of this with some new life skills (organization, motivation, stress management, and relationships with both co-workers and friends).
