Do something besides sitting around!
Look for another job!..Before you get stuck in a rut.
In the mean time.....
Go get a lawnmower and hit the streets..do you know how hard it is to get your grass cut at a nominal fee?
Go door to door. Hit every house!
I called many people that promised to show and never did..they are overloaded. Especially the elderly.
Learn to paint numbers on the curb.
Hey..I pay $25. to $40. to get my grass cut. Do a few a day and you will probably make more because its tax free..and it puts food on the table!
Use your head..You can do it!..
And leave your number in case they want it done later.
So they need a ride to the store? ($5. or $10. bucks)
Also if the householder gets to talking..offer to do any side jobs for them. You never know!
Snoozy...

Tres,
When I was canned in October 2003, due to a "conflict of business interest" I was mortified, and very upset. I was angry and sad for two whole weeks and even cried myself to sleep. (My husband had been the IT manager for the parent company that owned the company I worked for. We had both given about a month's notice because we were moving to Texas. He was offered a job by a software vendor that the parent company used, and didn't like. When they found out, the owner of the parent company called me on my cell phone after work one day, and fired me. Basically told me that he would hunt my husband and the vendor down and have revenge. And he added he had always liked me, but that I was part of the conspiracy.) I had worked there about 3 years, and it was the first career I had had that I truly loved. Before I was fired, it had been arranged for me to work for one of their offices in Dallas.
I was bitter, angry, and sad.
Here's what got me through though: I finally came to the realization, that even though the company I had worked for could get along without me, they were missing out on having me work there more than I was being able to work for them. (Luckily, I had a good friend that worked there that updated me about that, and clients calling me asking what was going on, and that they were idiots hahah). I also was now determined to be more proactive about making sure that what I did next would be an even better position for me, and one that I could balance more with my family life.
10.5 years is a long time to work for one company. You must have been a very loyal and good employee. That is something that will be an asset to you while you are looking for a new job. I know it is eaiser said than done, but really try you best to focus on the fact that now you are free to explore other opportunities.
If you need any help with your resume, or where to look, please pm me. I am a recruiter, and I would be more than happy to point you to a few places where you may be able to find something new. I know a lot of recruiters around the country. I don't know what field you work in, but I would be happy to give you some names of good recruiters you can work with. Also, check out www.indeed.com. It is a great site to check on job postings across the net. It pulls them up from not only job boards, but newspaper classifieds and sometimes even corporate websites.
Hang in there. Like some of the other posters have stated, you have to go through a grieving process. That is normal, and you really need to get through that so that you can make sure the next position you take is really the right one for you, and so you don't carry any bitterness over to the next job.

In 5 years, you will see and appreciate the forced change that is happening today. A job is a big part of life, but it isn't all of life. You said that the commute was bad, the conditions were not good... and that you were not living a healthy lifestyle due to job situation. But still... yeah, it hurts.
For me, Matt. 6:25-34 always helps... Maybe it will give you a lift, too.
