This is my first official day of unemployment freedom. The sun is out, it’s a bit breezy. I am only now getting around to my first coffee. I have a to-do list in front of me: grocery shopping, post office, call employee services to ask about loose ends. And of course, writing. And reading. The John Gardner book I started yesterday is really good, and it’s telling me that I am already doing a lot right.

I started my day with a ninety-minute yoga class at the bikram place a few blocks away. I signed up for their $30 for 30 days deal. Little do they know I’ll be in WA by the time it expires. I have done yoga before, but not in a heated room. Midway through, the sweat was literally pouring off of me. I’ve never seen anything like it outside of an actual sauna. A droplet of it rolled into my eye. Need to find my old sweatband. I will look so cool.
