Oh yes, get some nature fixes! It's beautiful. I hear ya on rain, tho, I am soooo Over It.
I agree with so many others here, you're doing great and doing YOU a great service in just moving on. It's just not worth the ugliness that could ensue. There are bad employers all over the place. I am getting terminated since I have been on med leave for a year. I'm sure that is inspiring loyalty in my team left behind. I guess I'm not surprised and not bothering to be concerned about it. In my city, I can find a job when it's time. I know I'm lucky that way, I know it's not so easy in your neck of the woods.
Like Cornell, I'm reinventing. I can't handle a full time job yet so relying on my disability policies meanwhile (it turns out that I was very smart in my 20s to CYA Just In Case) and working on my physical and mental health. Nature, growing stuff, music, dance, I've tried painting (not artistic that way!), and going headlong into sewing and maybe making jewelry. Revisit the hobbies you haven't had time for and maybe you can turn one of those into something you want to do. Doesn't have to be self-employment, could be working in a place that makes widgets that you are good at designing, could be a supplier that provides a discount on stuff you would buy anyway.... Maybe not the money you made, but sometimes Happiness has its own cost extracted from cash flow.
I had thought I might work at Starbucks in retirement PT, but retirement is finding me first, maybe, and if I had to have a job Right Now, I might go part time with JoAnn Fabrics or find something more serious in the hospital that has been so good to me. Creative stuff is good for me, I've been away from tangible efforts due to computer work with intangible results, so I'd really like to stay away from another damned computer job although that is the path to high pay for me. Sometimes compromises must be made, choices you wouldn't dream you would make become the obvious way to go, etc. You're smart and strong, this is all going to be just fine. Definitely, celebrate the incineration, toast to The New You. Tough cookies like you don't get felled by assholes like him. Living well is the best revenge.
Do some nice things for yourself to continue decompressing and see where that takes you. Could be you find motivation and inspiration to try something very different and maybe just maybe there are hidden benefits you wouldn't have imagined behind a door you would never have imagined you'd knock on.
Life is change. Buckle in, embrace the opportunity.
