The advantages of being unemployed:

[panader0]

OK, I'm trying to look on the bright side here. I have been un or underemployed for months now. I get a small job here and there, but no one is spending money on construction now. On the bright side, I have become a pretty good housekeeper. The kitchen is spotless and the dishes are always done before Jeannie (who has a decent job) gets home. Vacuuming, dusting, many small chores that went undone are now done. I tiled my shower, (I already had the materials), I have cut enough firewood to go through next winter.
I have become a better cook, tortilla soup with black beans and hot sausage tonight. I turned the soil in the garden getting ready for the spring. I'm getting spoiled not working, but the whole place looks better.
