Twiddling my thumbs is not a fun way to live a life.
I’m creeping up to one year of being without a day job.
I fill my days keeping the house running, and tackling the large backlog of big projects and tasks that I put off because I had no spare time (HAHAHAHA), but being a housewife is not how I imagined my life would be at this time.
And I know I’m not the only one struggling, so it feels selfish to complain about my little slice of the world. But what else can I do?
I’m physically and mentally able to work. I have more than enough education and experience. I’ve never been dinged for poor attendance in my life! There is NO job beneath me.
Yet it’s not enough and it feels like I’m constantly waking up to another unjust war, and I have no creativity left inside of me.
Anyone got any thoughts or prayers left for me?
