Photo Weeks #43 and #44

Whew, what a week. I don't know if I've fully processed getting laid off, to be honest... it just feels like I've been taking PTO. Maybe that's a sign that I did just need a break. I feel very supported and loved by everyone who's offered help, support, community - it makes me feel not alone, and that has been the silver lining in all of this.

At least there is no shortage of things to do. I think I'm going to try doing "productive" things for an hour and then doing something more relaxing for the next... and hopefully that means I won't burn myself out from doing things, haha. I don't even know if I'm ready to start job searching yet, but I do feel like I need to capitalize on the momentum of my former coworkers who are already connecting me with other people and sending job descriptions. One day at a time for now.

Anyways, onto more fun and happy things! This past weekend was spent in Carmel celebrating Jessica - I talked so much my throat was sore by Sunday night, haha.

And Junie's pink dinosaur dreams came true! Although she did keep asking me where her "nose and eyes" were since I think she was expecting some sort of snout... but oh well. I didn't realize how much of a sugar high she would get after like a couple pieces of candy on Halloween night - she was talking a mile a minute - but then I put the candy out of sight, out of mind... and now it's just there for me to resist, haha.
