what i did today
it's my day off. completely off. i don't have to work at either of my jobs and i don't have to meet anyone, anywhere until 8 o'clock. free as a bird...
so here is a list of the things i have done with this wealth of free time:
dishes
laundry
cleaned up dog poo
scrubbed the shower
watched 3 episodes of SVU (2 of which i had seen at least twice before)
formed 11 little creatures out of air-dry clay
ate two meals
put on clothes
answered 4 calls on my cell phone
i am quite sure that this list confirms that i am the least interesting person in the U.S. of 'Mer'ca. i have so few days off and so many things that i want to do with those days, and somehow this is the list of activities that i actully accomplish when given the wide open opportunity. admittedly, it is a longer list than it would have been a year ago at this time, but those were entirely different circumstances.
every time i have some time i think that i can fill it with all of my new hobbies and make contacts with old friends and think of a way to make 100,000 dollars and bond with my little doggy who poops on the floor and go to the YMCA and buy some clothes on clearance and occasionally shave my legs and answer all of my email messages but this never really happens, because the hours on days off are significantly shorter than work hours. and there is always vacuuming and dusting to do. i think i should prioritize. for now i will concentrate on finding 100,000 dollars. what's a creative way to beg? does the likelihood of gaining this dollar amount increase dramatically if i try to present as a more interesting person? or is pathetic the way to go? does the cosmos look on me with compassion if i cry a lot? what about oprah or ellen or rosie? think they would spare a dime for my cause? that would really free me up to hone my hobby skills. i guess for now i will just go to work again. that seems the most responsible way, but it ain't gonna get me 100 G's.
