Saturday

Day 7... er... 8 of unemployment

Ok, so I'm already losing track of time! I'm thinking it's Friday, but it's after midnight, so it's Saturday already. But does that count if you haven't gone to bed yet?
Today we started our road trip south. My hubby and I are going to visit family in San Francisco and thereabouts. This is a vacation we have had planned for some time - turns out that I didn't need to ask for the time off after all, since I've been laid off. Well, at least they had to pay out my vacation hours so I'm not getting docked for the time.
I did find out how much I qualify for on unemployment, and I was happy to see that our annual profit sharing bonus counts into the calculations. That means I will be "earning" almost as much on a weekly basis as I did while working. Of course, there are now no benefits, so that has to come into play also...
We are tucked into a cute little hotel outside of Portland, OR, and they not only have free breakfast, they have free wifi! pretty cool. It's nice to know that some things are still free.
Well, time for some sleep -long drive tomorrow!
