Lonely existence exists again

Cody lost his job the week before Thanksgiving. He got "laid off" which is a strange term for a small, local restaurant, but it's the truth. They can parcel out his duties to other people without replacing him so he got one month's severance and was sent on his way. Shitty timing with the holidays and you know, that bun in my oven named Mia. Just to prove how good he is at his job, he received two really good job offers within two weeks of being let go. This week, he accepted a position as the head chef of an Italian restaurant called Corvina that will open in Round Rock in March. In the meantime, he is working at 219 West, a restaurant/bar in downtown Austin that is owned by the same guys who are opening Corvina.

He has been at Vespaio for the last six years, the last five of which he held a very cush schedule for a chef. He worked Mondays through Fridays from about 6:00 or 6:30 a.m. until he was finished. Sometimes that wasn't until 5:00 in the evening but often it was earlier. And regardless, he was home at night. This is no longer the case. It's 7:30 p.m. and I have yet to hear from him. He went in at 9:00 this morning. This sucks. And after Corvina opens, it will be even worse because he will be the head chef of a new restaurant and we will have a new baby in April. And yes, I will be going back to work so this will be hard for me for the first few months at least. And did I mention that Cody does all of the cooking in our household? I'm starving.

Mia is moving around quite a bit in there. It feels really weird.
