miss_lucy21 So first day of Unemployment Rules in effect did not go exactly as planned. I was up half the night feeling sick or hungry and not able to tell which and so didn't wake up until 8:30. I also didn't remember to set an alarm, so that was less than helpful. And then I had a monster headache that didn't respond to my usual "wake up with a headache" tricks, so I decided to lay back down around 10:30 and didn't wake back up until about 2. Apparently, I needed more sleep.
So, rule 1 (up and dressed and fed and medicated by 8 am) was a bust.
Rule 2 (have to leave the house) was successful, though. I went to the grocery store because I somehow did not manage to buy bread when I got groceries over the weekend. So now I have three bread options because, well, it's food I'll eat pretty much always.
Rule 3 (Productivity for 6 hours) is half-successful. I did clean up the kitchen. I don't think I'd try cooking anything complex in there yet, but you can walk around without stepping over shopping bags. I also did a fair bit of reading on resume and cover letter tips, so we'll call that research. It wasn't 6 hours of work, but probably maybe 3-ish?
Rule 4 (eat 2 meals a day)- yes? I think? I should eat something else for dinner, but I did eat something. And I remember eating breakfast.
Rule 5 (active every day)- yes, cleaning the kitchen counts for this one
Rule 6 (actual self care)- eh. not really, today.
3ish out of 6 is not ideal, but I did at least manage to redeem the day by going to the grocery and cleaning up the kitchen. I'll take it.
Tomorrow, my plan is to go to the library to work when I get up. Sometimes I think better when I write things on paper, so going to try that for resume achievements, plus all my stuff is in Google Docs, so I can even type stuff up on the computers there. And I have books that need to go back anyway. So, spend a couple hours there, and then come home and work on cleaning the bathroom. That seems like a plan.
