Day 5

Day five of unemployment:

The timing of this unemployment deal actually couldn't be better. Aside from my friend coming into town for the next 5 days, I leave on vacation in little over a week. Luckily it's all been paid for already. The weather has been spectacular. I figure this is my consolation from the universe. Yep, you ain't got no job, but it's warm out, the friend is arriving, and the vacation looms.

The downside: I'm so broke it's like a dooming bell tolling of my future.
Since I'm in financial need, I decided to take up my previous employer on the option of freelancing a few stories. Some things don't change I suppose. Here I sit procrastinating, awash in nervousness, knowing that this story I'm trying to get done will never be as good as I want it to be. It's weird having to dust off that part of my brain and it's only been three days.
