Whew. Today is my last day of being unemployed.
THANK GOD. The past few months have not been easy for me, and I’m really excited about my new job.
So how am I spending this last completely unstructured day?
Still getting over my cold.
These are my best friends today.
And soup.
I want to work out, but I’m still feeling pretty worn out, so I’m going to play it safe for another day and keep resting (or MAYBE attempt an easy workout tonight.) I’m big on trying to just baby myself when I’m sick so I can get well fast, rather than suffer through a cold for weeks.
I also got a manicure before my first day (OPI Suzi Takes the Wheel)
and got a delicious panini from an Italian deli near me that puts the panini from those big delis that sell a bit of everything to shame. This one had chicken, arugula, a little mozzarella and proscuitto and was bursting with flavor. I had half with that can of soup and plan on doing the same for dinner.

What’s Next?
Over the past 2.5+ years, this blog of mine has changed directions a few times. I started off taking pictures of everything I ate, which was tremendously helpful when I was losing weight, but I got sick of doing that sometime earlier this year. When I got laid off, I was reading a lot of running blogs and training for the NYC Marathon, so I blogged a ton about running. Now that I’m running less (just for now) and going back to work, to be honest, I’m not sure if the focus of my blog will change at all, but I’m just going to go with it. Consider yourself warned.
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…

I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

GOOD LUCK! I'm so proud of you and I love the nail color :-)
Good luck on your first day! I was unemployed for two months after college graduation and I know how frustrating it can be! I'm sure it'll feel great to get back into a routine (after you get used to it, of course)!
Good luck tomorrow! I think you'll find that many readers will actually enjoy your return to a schedule, etc just as much as you!
Exciting! Get rest, feel better and GOOD LUCK tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all about the new job! Yay!
Good luck tomorrow! It took me a while to feel like working was my real life again -- it was like getting through the first day of school and thinking, "Oh hey, that wasn't so bad! Oh wait, I have to do it again tomorrow? ... forever?" Heh. Good thoughts for a smooth transition! Wherever it takes you, I'm excited to read about it!
I love your blog because it's about your life and not just bananas, and running and food ;)
oh and kick some booty at your new job tomm :)
@Sana: Are you saying you don't like bananas!? :-o
While I appreciate the warning, I think your blog readers enjoy hearing all of your stories, be them food, running or focused on just life in general. Good luck tomorrow!!!
Oh I somehow missed the post when you announced your new job! I am SOOO excited for you. Congrats!
@CaitlinHTP: Thanks! Me too :)
Congratulations and good luck
Good luck @ work! Soup has been a staple in our house the past few days with my Dear being sick- it's totes easy and a no-brainer meal!
