Turns out that being unemployed leaves you with a great deal of time on your hands. Job listings have been quickly dwindling on every site so my job search takes less than an hour everyday, whereas it would take a good 4-6 hours when I first began my search.

Until now, I've mostly used this extra time to get antsy and tell my hubby to pay attention to me. I've recently gotten so bored that I started cleaning - if you know me, you know how absolutely absurd that is. I genuinely appreciate that this time I have is an amazing alternative to being stuck behind a desk all day fuming about all the bureaucracy. However, I've recently decided that using this precious time to be more productive would be a much better use of it.

So here's a list of my goals for this season of too much time on my hands:
1. Read the Bible. I'm ashamed that I haven't read every word of the book I base my life on, so I'm going to get down to business. I'm a little over halfway through Genesis.
2. Crochet and screenprint enough stuff to get a store started on Etsy.
2a) But finish the scarves for my cousin and brother first!
3. Finish my wedding album. (Two and a half years after the wedding - whatever, don't judge.)
4. Have someone over for dinner at least once a week. (So far, so good.)
5. Write encouraging notes to friends and family.
6. Go to a farmer's market for produce twice a month.
7. Get outside more!

I think that's all for now. If anyone has any brilliant ideas, let me know!
