Day 334...Today I lost my job

After 12 1/2 years at the same job, today I came home unemployed. It was somewhat expected with the current state of the construction industry, but I honestly didn't know until the moment it happened. I'm one part numb, one part excited. I have worked continuously since high school so I don't really know what it will be like to get up and not go to work. I do know I have a to-do list a mile long and it will take me a while to get all of that stuff done. Who knows what the future holds. When Rusty left, I said I would just ride it out and see what happened and I did. Now I guess it is time to get on a new ride. I will get to spend some much needed time with my kids, relax a little, spend some time on me (getting in shape, for one thing), and maybe, when it's all said and done, start a new career. Let the fun begin...
