I wasn't sure what life would be like after I quit my job, but now that I've been a kept-woman for just short of two weeks I must say that it feels like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. Of course a different "oh my god, how are we gonna pay the bills when the money runs out" burden has taken its place, but that's for a different blog. I was sooo incredibly stressed out by my job ~ not just the hours and the people, but I think I finally reached that burned-out point where you just can't take hearing about another person who was raped, or kids stealing cars, or people screaming at me that they need the police to discipline their children. I had become so jaded and distrustful of everyone I met. I really needed to get away from the whole law enforcement arena.
I've been actively looking for another job, preferably in the medical field, but I've also been putting this "down time" to good use. Since I absolutely suck at painting, I've been concentrating on organizing; getting rid of stuff we don't need, creating better accesability to the stuff we do need, and trying to keep the house tidy (and somewhat clean) on a daily basis. I've also started exercising more and really working on trying to catch up with the scrapbooks. I know that eventually I'll find a job, even if it's just something short-term, so right now I'm just enjoying not having any work-related stress to deal with.
