Seasons of the Unemployed.

So, I’ve been in the search for a new job now for almost two months. This season has been a little frustrating in part because I do not have graduate school to keep me fully occupied as I did over a year ago when I was in the same boat.  

To keep myself occupied while I search, I’ve brought my plants back from the brink of certain death.  I now have an explosion of Snapdragon sprouts and not enough containers as they grow. Anyone care to adopt several?

       

I’ve worked on several knit and crochet projects, designed a couple of scarves and done a little painting. In addition to all the crafting and gardening I’ve had time for a little more baking. This week I made cinnamon rolls with a cream cheese frosting that can give Cinnabon a run for their money. That will be in my next post.

I do not think I will retire. Ever. I like being busy, having some semblance of structure or routine. I manage time more wisely when life is somewhat hectic (not stressful, mind you). Is this a season I need to learn how to manage my time while there are absolutely NO demands on it from other sources?  Maybe it's time to get more serious about writing. Maybe it is a whole lot of things both internally and externally that need to shift in this downtime.
