times, as they are a-changing

And then I was free...

well, not free as much as 'without'. as in a job.
I became one of the many, many unemployed on this past Thursday. It was shocking and overwhelming and took me a good day and a half to finally stop breaking into a short bout of hysteria.

Now, a few days have passed and I am assessing my options. There seem to be more than a few, and all I really need is something that let's me pay my bills and get groceries, gas, and maybe an extra buck or two for fun.

Yesterday I met up with an old friend, Amanda, and went hiking at South Mountain. It's been so long for both of us that we literally got lost on the way. It's a nice feeling to have what feels like a long conversation and a little walk, but what is really a few hours and a few miles.

Now I am trying to make the most of things, stay positive and enjoy temporarily having no responsibilities for at least a few days.
