 Man, there is a business down the street that I could totally buy. I wish I had some sort of shop-I-would-like-to open idea, because this would be a golden opportunity to put the old MBA to use. It's currently a thrift store of sorts, focused on records - I haven't even been in it, it's dark and forbidding looking at the moment - and the guy wants to sell all the inventory included, so one could theoretically just keep selling whatever's there while transitioning to whatever one actually wanted to sell.

So tempting. Walking three blocks to work for myself would be pretty sweet. But what on earth would I sell? Used books and outdoor equipment are the only things I know anything about, and I am not current with either anymore...

Friday Night Lights wasted no time in making me all weepy. Not that that's hard, but they are good at it.

I thought of a job I might actually be able to get that has many good points. Well, more a place to apply that probably often has openings. When I am ready to be applying for jobs, which is not now, but having even a vague outline of a plan makes me feel better. Also, temp agencies can totally be my friend. Just because every time I've signed up with temp agencies in the past I ended up with long-term assignments that I didn't really want is no reason to assume it will happen again.

'Wednesday" appears to be the popular name for the new kitten. She is more pouncy than cuddly the past couple of days, but still very sweet. She ventured into the room Jadzia and Pixie had been hiding in (and sampled their food) this morning, so their sanctuary is not so secure anymore. We'll see how that goes. So far there has been some growling, but the older two seem to just want to get away from her more than beat her down, so I think they will come to a detente eventually. Since she's exploring more, I will have to be more careful about leaving the back door open for the dog. He would totally play with her if he could just figure out how that might work.

Still very low energy. I can't tell if it is something I should respect and wait for it to pass, or try to power through and get stuff done out of sheer force of will. So far waiting is winning, but it has my inherent laziness on its side and nothing urgently needs to get done. That is, there's tons that needs to get done, but not urgently. So I guess there's not much harm in waiting, even if that is not necessarily the best thing to do.

I've been taking a very "Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life" kind of approach to things lately. It's relaxing today, but, as we all know, tomorrow never comes, or knows, or does anything other than creep by in its petty pace. So things like deciding what to be when I grow up don't get done.

Today I got a call from an actuarial recruiter that got me off my butt enough to update my resume and send several e-mails. I know, it doesn't sound like much, but I have in the last month looked at attractive ads and decided that I wanted to commit to the whole not working thing for a while. I think it was that they called me - I do love to be wanted.

I guess this makes me technically unemployed rather than out of the job market. Yay?
