Unemployment sucks...(19 days and counting)

So I have just finished my first day of unemployment and I must say that it really sucked.  First and foremost I slept like absolute crap last night.  I'm not sure if I was so excited about not having to wake up early or my brother's spicy chili but I was getting up every few hours and I was not rested this morning. It kind of reminded me of Christmas when I was younger.  I would always find it hard to fall asleep and then I would keep waking up all the while trying to fall back to sleep so that morning would come more quickly.  If that was the case for last night then I really screwed myself over because I wanted to sleep in but couldn't.  Not to mention I woke up at 6:00AM anyways so it was a crazy night.

This morning I had to drive my brother to his second official day at his new job.  Since he is not currently in possession of a driver's license it was my responsibility to get him to work on time, which of course we were.  After I dropped him off I flirted with the idea of continuing north to Woburn and drop in on Dave at his new warehouse.  But I decided to head home instead where I promptly parked my butt on the couch and began to watch Sportscenter.  After watching an hour of that I decided to make it a movie Monday because I went into today hoping to do absolutely nothing.  I then proceeded to watch two movies and fall asleep during a third.  

What I realized that while this has been a very lazy day I feel worthless and like I missed out on something.  I guess I had become so used to the same schedule and routine that now that it is all over this new found freedom kind of sucks.  My fear with this unstructured time is that I will do nothing and before I know it the days will have slipped by.  My plan for tomorrow is to sit down and sort out some of the long range goals and necessary tasks that will help me be prepared for my trip.  I have 19 days to really tie everything up so that I can have that clean slate in time for the trip.  I am looking forward to having dinner tomorrow with some friends.  There is also a great opportunity Thursday night and I am looking forward to what that may bring.  I am hoping something very good.
