Positives of Unemployment: Final Chapter

If you are new to this blog, I have done a few prior posts on unemployment and its effects.

Here are the older posts....

Positives of Unemployment Part 1

Positives of Unemployment Part 2

This "Final Chapter" is just going over my goals and new outlooks on life.

My main goal is to work hard enough to get into the National Guard. It would be an honor to serve in this country. It is always something in the back of my mind that I would have wanted to do, but didn't think it was possible. I have my mind set. I need to lose 45lbs, and I would be set to enlist. My biggest fear was getting deployed when I was younger, but I see everything in a different light now.

Other goal, well of course to get a job. I would LOVE to keep my car,

because it is the second love of my life <3

2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6

I mean, I don't think I would lose my car, but we seriously won't have enough money for our bills next month, so I need a job ASAP. Atleast making $400.00 a month and we'd be fine. I am already claiming bankruptcy on just myself because of credit card debt, but oh well. Money has always been an evil and addicting thing to me. I'd be better off without credit cards. Now that I have learned there is more to life then STUFF, I am happier.

I have always spend time with my family on holidays, birthdays etc, but I would like to be around more often. I have an amazing relationship with my Mom. We talk ALL THE TIME. haha. We'll just randomly call eachother to vent like every other day! We've been able to talk more now that I don't work. And I am not miserable to talk with anymore.

I don't know what my future holds, obviously, but I am not scared. Bring it on. It's life. Everyone goes through some type of bullshit, you just have to SHUT THE HELL UP and deal with it :)

Someone ALWAYS has it worse. I am not lying in my death bed, so my life is amazing!

Negatives of Unemployment

For many people unemployment is either a very frightening thing

or something someone dreams about.

I can understand being scared when you have bills to pay,

medical needed and quite possibly other mouths to feed.

Situations in life are handed to you to deal with. It depends on HOW you handle them.

Now I first must say that my unemployment was by choice. I quit because I needed to. No one will ever understand, and I don't expect anyone to. We all do what we "think" is good for ourselves right?

("Think" is in quotes because I believe our lives are already mapped out)

Anyways, I will state why unemployment shouldn't be something someone dreams about...

(and you don't have a government check given to you, keep this in mind)

First, you are more than likely to not have any savings to fall back on. If you do, awesome, you were one of the "smart" ones when watching your money. If you are like me, it sucks.

Second, the first week will be AMAZING. No responsibility to be anywhere, not controlled by anyone and you plan your day as you want. Now after that first week, you have already done EVERYTHING you possibly had to do in your mind, and now you are left with everday chores, and seriously, not the funnest thing in the world.

Third, Personally, I feel like a bum. I sleep in a little, make myself breakfast, go to the gym, eat lunch, shower, watch Netflix, make dinner, and um go to bed. I don't feel very productive to society.

Lastly, depending on your situation, you may end up homeless =)



Now, there is a point to this posting, I will be later posting why I feel unemployment was quite possibly the best thing I ever chose to do.

Monday...Oh Monday!

I figured I type up a post since I am waiting for my Ipod to charge so I can hit the gym!

In the meantime I am drinking my pre-workout drink - SuperPump 250! Helps me work out harder! It is almost gone and I am actually going to try the BSN No Explode in Lemon Lime.

Forcasted workout - - Bikini Strap workout by Toneitup!

I made a calendar of how many days I have left until weigh in!

36 Flippin' Days!

I downloaded some more music for my workouts. I found that I do my best listening to Killswitch Engage! Just enough to push me further!

On another note:

I totally fell asleep last night (morning) at like 4:00am. Horrible! I just couldn't fall asleep, so it kind of screwed me up today. I'll be at the gym later than usual, but it's okay!

My job hunt is still going slow. I am going to contact Ulta today to see if they got my application. I would LOVE to work there! What girly girl wouldn't? It's like make-up headquarters!

Plus, I'm going to need money soon!

I've become REALLY addicted to blogging. It's a tad sickening. haha. It's just so much fun to type about stuff and do reviews on products. On the other end, I have found SO many blogs to read!

Okay, I'll end this, most don't like long blog posts...

well atleast until I have more followers....

Runners High?

Good afternoon! I am just in the mood to rant and rave about my day. I woke up SUPER early, like 7:30am and who the hell knows why? I always wake up after 10am. I began to clean and fold laundry and Toby made me a super breakfast! Love him!

I fought with my internet most of the day today, it did not want to work. Apparantly there is an outage near my area in PA, and we should expect difficulties. I've had nothing BUT difficulties with Verizon DSL internet!

Eventually I made my lazy ass go to the Lehigh Parkway to do some training! I ran steps 10x, OUCH that hurt and then I walk/jogged for about 1.5 miles and then walked another 1.5miles. Not bad! What I really noticed today was while I was jogging, the only thing on my mind was making it to my next "rest stop" and the music playing on my Ipod. No worries about money, weight, relationships, NOTHING! I loved it! Now I just need to get in shape so I can enjoy running even more.

I know my main reason for training, but for now I will enjoy the empty mind effect!

I then stopped at CVS and purchased a few things! Mainly I went because I wanted to dye my hair. If you would like to see what I got, I already blogged about it on my beauty blog http://www.purrceptivevixxen.blogspot.com Then I made my way to Subway for a 6in turkey sub, yummmmmy!

I shall succeed with my water intake today! 8 cups! WOO HOO! I always struggle to get there!

After I got home and enjoyed my lunch, I dyed my hair, just dark brown!

Well have a great rest of your day!
