Unemployed Log: Day 15
I haven't slept well due to my constant afternoon napping. I've found my best dance moves occur at 11:30pm when doing dishes and I'm getting really good at timing my weekday dinners with Wheel of Fortune. It's been a long 15 days. How those slackers who collect unemployment or live off their parents and do nothing all day baffles me. How can you do this?! I'm bored out of my mind and most of my 2 weeks out of a job have been spent unpacking and exploring the new city town I've moved to. And, yeah, the exploring didn't take long, but the unpacking did. Setting up house, rearranging the kitchen, re-rearranging the kitchen when Jake (my boyfriend and new roommate) gives me a 'is she really putting that there?' look. He has organizational issues. We're working on that.
There is nothing that I need and desire more than routine. I thrive when placed in situations I do every day. This sitting around, move only when I have to lifestyle is annoying. And it's been storming all day, which isn't new to Kansas, but it definitely derails any plans I had to get out of this house. I wanted to wash my car or go for a bike ride. I really just wanted to stop sitting and cleaning and unpacking and doing these things that need to be done. Priorities stink.
So, with the thunder pounding, lightening striking, rain pouring, I've found a some-what exciting venture: to actually blog. And I'm not going to blog about how bored I am, I promise. This is the only one. I'd like to start accomplishing things on my bucket list, or just my everyday list. I want to cook more, grow my own herb garden, paint, write, read all those books I bought in college but sparknoted for the exams, I want to do all those little things I've always wanted to do, but found excuses not to do them.
I want to ride my new-old bike. It's a rusted, 1980's purple road bike that Jake and I bought from an old lady down the street. Her husband even threw in the extra back wheel if it needed replaced. Twenty bucks. It was a steal! And I want to ride it around town. This small, hippie town. I need to raise the seat, then add a basket, and buy a polka-dot summer dress to complete the Zooey Deschanel-classy hipster feel, but ride it, I will!
I want to document all these cool things I decide to do. I'll take pictures, I'll blog about it, I'll do all I can to inspire anyone who reads this to try out new things. To make time for all those small adventures that no one makes time for. Those little hobbies that make the long work weeks seem somewhat worth it. I'm going to try my best to make up for the past few years of working and not taking time to really try something. I'm young, so I'm told, and have years left, so I'm told. What better time to start digging through all these wonderful hobbies, volunteer opportunities, and goals that I've always wanted to try.
So, Here it goes.
(I'm not actually doing anything tonight, because it's storming. So, maybe just check back soon for updates.) :)
