Time vs. Money: The eternal conundrum

So now I have lots of time. I feel GREAT about that. I've been sleeping till 9 every day, putting minimal effort into finding work and keeping up the house, going into town to get my mail, and working on beaded jewelry. I feel like I could be happy like this for a long time. Problem is my checkbook, while not yet running on fumes, is rapidly being drained. The unemployment folks are going to call me on Thursday for a phone interview, to ask me why I was fired. ("Was I warned?" "No.") Then hopefully the payments will kick in. The whole thing right now reminds me of some elaborate game of "Chicken" -- how long can I hold out before the on-coming train destroys my credit rating...
