Funemployment as the American vacation

When I was working, the days were long, the work was frustrating, the people... they were the inspiration for the Blog title: Those FN People at Work. Now that I'm Funemployed, I've noticed that the migraines are gone, my skin is clearing up, and I sleep the tranquil sleep that my body has craved since I was 16 years old and started my first job.

Even vacations from work were stress inducers. It meant working twice as hard before the vacation and after, all while worrying about work while on the actual vacation. This is much better. Perhaps it's the only real vacation that Americans can hope for - to be comfortably Funemployed.

I have time for healthy walks. My husband and I spend our Wednesday nights in the flickering light of candles as we actually talk to each other in an unhurried pace about the simple pleasures of our lives and joys.

No, we are not trust-fund babies. Nor are we safely retired with a mountain of cash. We aren't delusional either. We know that this can't last. But, like my dogs, I'll live in the moment and enjoy.
