All good suggestions, and I cannot emphasize the unemployment benefits application enough. Those applications can take time to get approved and may require some pestering on your part to keep the unemployment office moving, so the sooner you file (preferably same day) the better off you are.
Even if you have money saved and are hoping to not need unemployment before you find a new job, apply anyway. You’re entitled to benefits just like everyone else, and with the current craziness of the world right now that extra cushion could come in handy in a few months.


Friday night dinners are my “work is over, time to relax” marker. I pick something outside of my usual calorie/nutritional goals and also have dessert and use it as my celebration for getting through another week of work. Pizza and ice cream, burgers and brownies, whatever breaks from my usual and reminds me that there’s more to life than a constant grind.
