Reality sets in...
You know, for all of my talk in the past week - reality has been setting in and it does hurt.
My depression does seem to be elevated to a degree. It's kind of easy, with the lack of hiring and feeling kind of like a failure because of it - even though that's no fault of my own.
I'm getting unemployment (oh fun...) and got word from COBRA that my insurance benefits were apparently terminated at the end of November. (Gee, thanks folks. That's really kind. Let me go one day, end my insurance the next day. Whatevery.) Yet I managed to get all of my prescriptions filled by December 2nd with no problems. :) Still, I have to apply for COBRA since I can't be uninsured - my health conditions kind of preclude that being an option.
Tonight, I went to Kellie's company holiday party - and it was the first time I'd gone out in a couple of weeks. I am typically (a bit) antisocial, but it just felt wonderful to leave the house for something more than running errands. I know some of Kellie's co-workers - I'm friends with a few of them - and got to meet more of them, so I did have a good time at the party. Also, one of our friends was a client of mine - and he told me to let him know when I moved to a new agency, because he'd move his insurance to that agency! (this made me feel good, it was a nice little vote of confidence)
