No Work and All Play Make Jacquie a Fat Girl

I've been unemployed for 5 days (including the weekend) and I've already baked 2 cakes and have actually had a couple successful cooking endeavors. To give you a frame of reference, I think I may have, at most, baked 2 cakes in the past 2 years.
I'm having a problem with motivation. I was going to exercise today but I couldn't muster up the energy to even load the DVD player. This of course makes me feel guilty on a number of levels - I SHOULD be;
a) cleaning the house
b) sending out resumes
c) engaging my son
d) etc.
BUT, I'm not. I hope this is just a temporary mourning period. Not for the job because the job was shit but it really is a blow to the ego. I think I've always tied my identity with my job too much - a very dangerous thing.

CNNmoney.com Headline: Economy Takes Toll on Jobs

Seriously? Is there anyone in the world who is not aware of this? But, that headline is so ridiculous that I did actually click thru and read the article, so I guess mission accomplished. It's really not a bad article though.
I got laid off on Friday. I never really blogged before and I know it's completely overdone, but I figured at the very least it would help distract me from the mind-numbing sensation that is daytime television.
