Day 20: What Now?

I had been hoping for a vacation but not quite like this. I was hoping I could still earn money during the vacation, of course. As it stands, I am now shaking off he shock of yesterday and trying to figure out where to go from here. Yesterday, after the firing, was weird. My parents took me out for a huge steak dinner (my dad had been promising one to my mom for weeks) and then I heard from one of my best friends (Daryn) that she was coming to town and wanted to hang out. She hadn't heard about my firing yet, it was just a coincidence.

After she and I took a walk around Furman Lake, I sank into shutdown mode where I find some comic book related project to occupy my time. I bought a $2 online comic and immediately felt guilty. Every dollar is going to count going forward until I get money again. That is the big question mark hanging over everything. When and how will I get money again? I might have outlined yesterday how most temp jobs around here are temp to hire. Temp agencies usually won't touch you if they know you are going to be abandoning them. Of course, my drawing for one million dollars is next week so that could help. Heh. It seemed like less of a sick joke when I didn't really need it.

I will be updating my resume today and, other than that, I am not sure what to do with my time. I slept in until 10. I read comics all morning and had kind of a breakfast (see below). Everything feels weird to me.

Food since last time: My parents took me in mid-afternoon to Texas Roadhouse where I had a 12 oz ribeye, some fries, a salad and a buttery roll. I drank two cokes and an Angry Orchard Cider. After that, I was pretty full so I only had a bologna and cheese sandwich with a few oreos for dinner.

Pop Culture: I watched another Comedy Bang Bang episode and read a bunch of Siege comics from Marvel as well as X-Men Schism.
